In 1998, the Journal of Instructional Psychology published a study about journal writing and how it is able to improve students’ performance in class and lower testing anxieties and psychological reactions. This is one of the reasons why keeping a journal has become one of the top New Year Resolutions of the 20th century.

Writing is powerful. When you express your thoughts in writing it naturally enables you to think deeply about topics that are important to you. By getting thoughts out of your head and into your journal you are able to work through some of your personal issues. Even complex issues are made clear when you able to express them in a journal. Sometimes it’s the only way to uncover an underlying problem.
