Why should you journal?

We often find ourselves in a rut where we are demotivated and just not making any progress on the things we want in our life. Despite our countless efforts and persistent action we don’t seem to be getting any closer to the place we’ve envisioned for ourselves.
We want to lose x amount of weight, we want to make x amount of money with our job, we want to get that cute girl to like us. We often give a valiant effort but end up with less than desirable results and just end up quitting altogether.
Now, how can we help to counter these frustrations and bouts of inaction?

Journaling, simply as that.

Why should you journal?
Journaling gives you a great overview of all the places you’ve been, the information you’ve absorbed over time and allows you to really see the things that need to be done. There’s no way on earth you’re ever going to retain all that knowledge by yourself. Recording where you’ve been gives you a clear image of where you want to go!
