Life is busy and oftentimes chaotic, so writing in a journal is a way to organize your thoughts and clarify them. Keep lists of things to do, dreams to pursue and goals to reach in your journal.
Keeping a journal is a useful tool for keeping track of all kinds of events in your life; for instance, recording when you planted your garden and the various growth times of different plants.
Writing about your memories of your life and those of your ancestors is another way to write in a journal and benefits you by allowing you the space to work through past events and feelings.
The journal provides a space to write about your innermost thoughts and dreams; it becomes your own personal therapist.
Journal writing is a means of creating an heirloom for future generations; it creates a lasting legacy of the author that descendants will cherish for generations to come.
