Habit 12 | What are the mental health benefits of journaling? Jun 03, 2018

Show notes

My 12th habit in #26habits is going to be journaling. Why? Because there is endless research to show that the mental and physical benefits are nothing but positive. Improved cognitive function, stronger immune system, a general sense of calm - it's all at the end of your pen. But something as easy as writing is simple to overlook in the busy, tech-heavy world we live in, so what steps do I, and maybe you, need to take to make journaling a part of our every day.

In this episode I examine the benefits, the ways to make it work for me and how to get the most out of each written entry...

For my eleventh habit I've been trying to get back into books.

Have I managed to read a book yet? In this catch-up show I reveal the tips and tricks I've had to employ to read again and whether I've secured myself another micro-win for 2018...
