33 Reasons Why Journaling Helps
My Intention for this blog post is to show you how journaling can change your life, whether you have experience or not. This will CHANGE your perspective on journaling and how powerful it can be!
Journaling is the most powerful tool you will ever use on your personal development and spiritual growth journey. You can heal your past trauma, learn about your emotions, manifest your dreams into reality, and create connection with the Universe all through the practice of journaling.
Personal development and spiritual growth is just that - it’s personal. In all my years of working on my own personal growth, combined with my professional work as a Spiritual Mentor, Psychic & Intuitive Guide, I have witnessed how journaling, as a regular practice, can completely change someone’s life.
Every single mentor, coach, therapist, and guide can tell you how they will help you heal, learn and grow, when ultimately it falls in your hands to create the positive change you desire. My greatest gift as a Spiritual Mentor is to support you through your spiritual awakening; offer you a safe space through your past trauma healing; and guide you with different strategies & practices to better understand yourself & your needs, and how to create the life you desire to live.
I have worked with every type of personal development junkie.
The person who swears by journaling and uses it to release her daily worries & stresses in order to create a space of calm and lean back into trust.
The person who says journaling is not their thing, they understand how it helps others, yet they just can’t seem to get into it.
The person who is afraid of journaling, because of the uncertainty of who will find her journal and learn all the negative thoughts, worries, stress, doubts and fears she carries.
The person who believes daily gratitude is a waste of time because she is ignoring the current reality and all the difficulties around her.
The person who is open to trying anything at least once.
There are so many different people in this world, all carrying our own worries, doubts, stresses, anxiety, fears, failures, and challenges. Yet, we all desire peace, joy, fulfillment, success, love, and support. We are so different, and yet we are all very similar.
Our need for being seen & understood is one of the most common needs we experience.
Journaling has the power to support you through it all!
It was easy to convince my client who loves journaling, the power of this practice, for she had already witnessed it in her own life. What about the other clients who were skeptical about journaling and how it could possibly help them, or how could they ever enjoy such a practice?
Today, each of these people have transformed their opinions about the practice of journaling.
The person who said it just wasn’t her thing now states,
“I just did some journaling with the Guidebook for Connection - wow amazing what comes out! When you let the Divine Universe (and your Divine Team) talk to you through journaling they really tell you. I am going to stay in an inspired place today by doing all the things I journaled about. How amazing eh! Love love love my Guidebook. THANK YOU!”
She has also said “Great great great journaling session. Feeling sooooo good. The purpose of the trigger revealed. Lessons lovingly learned. Shifts happened. You’d be so proud of me because I came up with amazing prompts. I’m buzzing with beautiful vibes. What’s really cool was how quickly I went to my journal. Before meditating or anything else this time around. Really building that practice! Love it!”
The person who was always afraid of journaling because the fear of who would find her journal has stated,
“The questions from the 2021 Guidebook are simple, but manage to turn our thoughts to a different perspective… a more positive and self loving one.”
She has also said “I love that Sydney is leading us gently with her Guidebook to such a positive place. Thank you Sydney. If anyone has not yet purchased a copy, I suggest that you look into it. It just might change your life.” Seeing these words from a client who struggled for so long in opening a journal and taking time to write her thoughts down, was one of the most powerful moments for me.
We all have the ability to create positive change in our lives, we only need to be willing to try things differently and step out of our comfort zone. You have the power to live a life you enjoy, filled with joy, success and bliss, all you have to do is be willing to understand yourself from a new perspective. Journaling can guide & support you through the process of healing, learning and growing into the best version of yourself.

Wow! All of this, from the simple act of journaling?! How? You may be wondering. How can journaling actually do this for me? How do I even know where to begin? How can I connect to the positive effects of journaling?
The two clients I shared about earlier, who struggled to see the benefits of journaling for themselves, always felt stuck with this practice because THEY DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO JOURNAL ABOUT.
This is the biggest problem with journaling and why so many people stop the practice before really experiencing the benefits it has to offer.
I’ve been journaling for years and I never once wondered “what should I journal about”. For some reason I always knew which questions to ask myself so I could gain the clarity and support I desired.
Now I have learned that this ability is not something that comes naturally to everyone, and it can be strengthened over time. The first step is allowing journaling to become a regular practice in your self discovery, spiritual growth, and personal development.
This is where JOURNAL PROMPTS come into play. Journal prompts can be as simple as “write 3 things you are grateful for” or “write 2 dreams and desires for your life” and even “write 3 ways you can be intentional today”.
There are so many different workbooks, guidebooks, and printed journals that you can use to build your journaling practice. Using different questions and journal prompts to support you in your practice is what will help you achieve the peace, joy and success you are desiring.
I created a guidebook filled with journal prompts, for the sole purpose of supporting you in creating a deeper connection and understanding of yourself. The 2021 Guidebook is filled with life lessons, spiritual teachings, practices to connect to the Universe, and personal development prompts to guide you through healing, learning and growth.
Every single reason I listed above as to why journaling will help you on your personal development journey is closely connected to the power the 2021 Guidebook carries and the intention behind creating it!
If you are ready to take your journaling practice to the next level then check out the 2021 Guidebook. It is not only for the year 2021, you will be able to use it for an entire year upon purchase and beyond!
