I opened the Notes app on my phone and voraciously transcribed my inner turmoil. Once I spilled it all out, I tucked my phone away and fell asleep within minutes. The next morning, I was surprised to find that I didn\u2019t revert to ruminating straight away. Instead, I felt that I sufficiently released my grip on this particular incident, which was as freeing as it was foreign to me as a chronic overthinker and grudge-holder. <em>Hmm<\/em>, I thought to myself. <em>I guess there really is something to writing out my internal monologues.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Inspired, I headed straight to a stationery store and purchased a daily journal, the cover of which reads: \u201cLife is not perfect but it has perfect moments.\u201d Concise, factual, and balanced, this sentiment was right up my alley and put some pep in my newfound journaling step. From there, I committed to journaling each and every morning for a month straight.<\/p>\n<h2>The benefits of journaling in the morning<\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;ve come to discover for myself that there are countless <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/journaling-benefits-mental-health\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/journaling-benefits-mental-health\/\">benefits attributed to journaling<\/a>. \u201cWhen you journal, you foster self-reflection, which allows you to honor various feelings and thoughts,\u201d explains <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elizabethwinkler.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.elizabethwinkler.com\/\">Elizabeth Winkler, LMFT<\/a>, a therapist and certified meditation teacher in Beverly Hills. As I learned from my initial late-night entry, I was able to move forward once I got my hang-ups off my chest, got real about how I was feeling, and put things into context. This process made it all too clear that marinating in the muck would never work to my advantage. Armed with this realization and making a semblance of peace with the situation, I was able to attain a sense of closure.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline pr-6 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/journaling-in-morning\/\" current-title=\"I Tried Journaling First Thing in the Morning Every Day for a Month, and I\u2019m Floored by How Cathartic This Ritual Can Be\" current-image=\"WG_Editorial_Daily-journaling-piece.jpg\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2023-01-10\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/journaling-in-morning\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/journaling-in-morning\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/journaling-in-morning\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>But journaling can help you well beyond a given circumstance. By putting pen to paper, you can acknowledge, accept, and release energy that\u2019s weighing you down and hindering your ability to thrive across different aspects of life. Winkler says this can lead to a cascade of powerful outcomes for your mental health, relationships, and overall sense of well-being. \u201cThe benefits of journaling include deepened presence, inner peace and self-awareness, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC8935176\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC8935176\/\">reduction in anxiety and depression<\/a>, a wider capacity to be flexible with yourself and others, and a deeper purpose in your daily life,\u201d she continues\u2026 all of which I\u2019d like to welcome with open arms.<\/p>\n<p>Vedic meditation teacher <a href=\"https:\/\/meditatewithsusan.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/meditatewithsusan.com\/\">Susan Chen<\/a> explains that journaling first thing in the morning can amplify these benefits by setting the rest of your day up for success. \u201cSo often when we wake up, our minds become quickly inundated with the to-dos and concerns of the day,\u201d she shares. \u201cAmidst this mental flurry, it&#8217;s easy to be swept away by these demands and neglect our own well-being.\u201d It goes without saying that scanning your emails and social feeds while you\u2019re still rubbing the sleep out of your eyes isn\u2019t the most mindful or calming habit. In its place, journaling provides balance and grounding that you can carry with you all day long. \u201cTaking time to check in and honor where you are, who you are becoming, and what you are noticing is not only good for that moment,\u201d Winkler adds. \u201cWhen you intentionally start your day in this way, you can be more deliberate in your direction.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>My morning journaling experience<\/h2>\n<p>Since I\u2019d recently researched the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/benefits-of-gratitude\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/benefits-of-gratitude\/\">link between gratitude and longevity<\/a>, I decided to kick off my entries <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/benefits-gratitude-journaling\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/benefits-gratitude-journaling\/\">listing three things I was grateful for<\/a>. This included everything from the mundane (like enjoying a delicious cold brew coffee) to small but not insignificant delights (like having a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/morning-poop-habit\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/morning-poop-habit\/\">highly satisfying BM upon waking up<\/a>), but also more big-picture things that I don\u2019t often acknowledge. For instance, I took time to be thankful for the freedom and flexibility granted by the nature of my work. I also wrote about people I was grateful to have in my life and why. Since communicating gratitude toward others helps release (and share) oxytocin and <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/35810173\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/35810173\/\">promotes stronger social bonds<\/a>, I shared my sentiments with those who made it into my entries\u2014and was touched that each and every one of them was touched as they listened.<\/p>\n<p>Next, I penned updates on certain milestones and relationships. At the start of my journaling trial, I marked my four-year anniversary of moving to LA, which had me reflect on where I am now versus where I was then. Instead of defaulting to my usual mindset of what I \u201cneed\u201d to improve and where I \u201cshould\u201d be, I took care to focus on the progress I\u2019ve made instead. By being more mindful with my reflections, I realized that the me of four years ago would be proud of how I\u2019ve grown\u2014and what I\u2019ve accomplished\u2014since.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever I could remember them, I <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/dream-journal\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/dream-journal\/\">recapped dreams<\/a> I had the night prior, the feelings they elicited, and what they could signify. Some offered insights into my complex feelings about certain people and situations, and journaling about them helped me unearth a few truths I\u2019d yet to discern. \u201cWhen we solely run our lives from the chattering mind we lose touch with [our] depth of wisdom and intuition,\u201d Winkler explains. \u201cJournaling helps you clear away the noise and debris so that you have easier access to your depth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition, I took general temperature checks of how my mind and mood were faring on a given morning. It wasn\u2019t all pretty, but I was relieved to discover a few trends that made me feel less burdened. For example, I experienced a few successive days of heightened irritability, which made me question if I was losing steam with the progress I\u2019d since made with my new morning routine. Within a week\u2019s time, I realized this temper could\u2014at least in part\u2014be attributed to PMS and not being able to practice yoga that week, rather than feeling as though I \u201cfailed\u201d in my efforts to improve my mindset. \u201cIt is easy to get lost in the constant cascade of thought or drown in the shifting tides of emotion,\u201d Winkler shares. However, journaling can function as an anchor \u201cto bridge the gap from limiting beliefs to your abundance within,\u201d she says, elucidating patterns and illuminating connections an overactive mind may otherwise miss.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout my entries, I remained honest while making a concerted effort to frame things within a positive (or at least productive) mindset. Even if I was in a funk, I consciously avoided deeming my thoughts as \u201cbad\u201d and indulging in negative self-talk. \u201cAs long as we journal with curious inner exploration and avoid self-judgment, it can be invaluable for expediting personal growth,\u201d Chen explains. Once I wrote out any pain points, I proceeded to question why I could be feeling a certain way and what I could do to wiggle my way out of it. In most cases, I simply reminded myself to keep my chin up and my head afloat, and that things not only can but <em>will<\/em> get better.<\/p>\n<h2>Final takeaways<\/h2>\n<p>After journaling every morning for a month, I can say, without question, that it\u2019s been rewarding in ways I never expected. As someone with lifelong mental health struggles who typically sees a proverbial glass as half empty, I\u2019m honestly floored by how quickly I was able to use journaling as a tool for self-discovery, acceptance, and catharsis. The fact that I journaled before tending to my tasks also helped me start the day with a calmer, clearer headspace\u2014which is a wonder in itself as I\u2019m far from being a morning person.<\/p>\n<p>Above all, the self-compassion my morning journaling routine fostered was the biggest game changer. I\u2019m well aware that I\u2019m my own biggest critic and I have difficulty being gentle on myself. However, reframing my inner monologues with honesty <em>and<\/em> grace\u2014day in and day out\u2014has been incredibly powerful. It\u2019s not always easy to recognize the positive things in life, especially when I\u2019m feeling down, but I was able to foster a sense of accomplishment from shifting my mindset and appreciating even the smallest moments of joy that each day brings.<\/p>\n<p>In sum, my journaling practice has enriched my mornings and mentality in so many ways. I\u2019ll absolutely continue with it and do my best to translate my insights beyond the page and into the world.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1675549\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following a frustrating event that kept me tossing and turning well into the night, I needed to get things off my mind\u2026 fast.
