This is all about journaling and why it's so helpful for you! The Happy Heart journal was designed to help writers embrace and honor their many emotions and feelings. One of the great benefits of journaling is that when you write things by hand, your brain actually processes them better and your thoughts, introspections, feelings, etc are committed to memory. You are also able to reflect upon what’s actually going on in your life from the inside out. The Happy Heart Journal takes the guesswork out of journaling by providing daily prompts to help the writing process. The prompts serve as a guide to help the writer to explore their day with purpose and reflection. This leads to greater self acceptance, compassion, and emotional literacy; while also guiding writers into their heart centers. It is in the heart where true happiness, well-being and personal transformation take form. A few more scientifically proven benefits of journaling are:
1. Daily reflections of gratitudes, which leads to an increase in positive thoughts and feelings. 2. Goal setting, which helps to not only identify and set goals but keep the writer accountable. 3. Reduce anxiety and depression by tracking moods, triggers and experiences during the day that felt good as well as not so good. This tracking of emotions will lead to greater acceptance by clearing and calming the mind. 4. Journaling boosts overall health by improving sleep, reducing stress, and being more present throughout the day. A Happy Heart is a heart that accepts and embraces one’s feelings without judgement. A Happy Heart is one that is self loving and kind. A Happy Heart is compassionate and thoughtful. A Happy Heart is powerful yet peaceful. A Happy Heart understands that there will be good days and not so good days yet is confident that each day offers an opportunity to grow. A Happy Heart is able to ask for help when needed and offer support one another is in need. A Happy Heart is a place of security and optimism. A Happy Heart doesn’t just survive it thrives.
