At the end of a long week, writing in a journal can help you relax and get ready to enjoy your weekend. During the week when things may be hectic and busy, we may not take the time to reflect and focus on what is important to us. Before you start your weekend, sit down and write your thoughts. You may want to write about your achievements, your goals or even a to do type list. Be true to yourself and be honest. This is for you to see. Write about things that are bothering you and things that have made you angry. Writing these things down helps you to let go of that stress. It helps you understand what your feelings are. Whether you write everyday or once a week, you can look back and see your own personal growth and see how far you have come. It takes only a few minutes, but can make a world of difference in your life.
