      Self-Discovery and Healing Through Journaling - Meredith Lane

      1. Introduction

      OUR LIVES AND PSYCHES are jam-packed full of hidden gems of knowledge and insight. We can learn so much from ourselves, but too often, the most valuable lessons are tucked away deep in our lower consciousness, seemingly just out of reach. So how can we access those insights? How can we build a metaphorical bridge connecting our past to our present to our future? How can we soothe and resolve the pain we’ve pushed down deep? How can we make sure that those significant life events that happen everyday—emotional struggles, the accomplishment of goals, lessons learned—are documented and accessible to our future selves? How can we unpack our minds and see the big picture of our own lives with sparkling clarity? Well, it’s simpler than you think, and it doesn’t involve a time machine, a psychic, or a hypnotherapist. The answer is journal writing.

      We are a culture obsessed with chronicling our own lives. We post photograph after photograph to Instagram and Facebook. We write blurbs about our daily lives on Facebook and Twitter. We track our own careers and those of other on LinkedIn. We write and follow blogs, Tumblr's, and other social media. These means of communication are valuable in their own right, but they aren’t always a great tool for self-healing and self-reflection, since they too often present an image of who we want to be, not really who we are. When using these media, we don’t (and in many cases, shouldn’t) allow ourselves to be vulnerable to a group of people often made up in large part by casual acquaintances, co-workers, and even rivals.

      That’s where journaling comes in. Journal writing gives us a way to organize our thoughts (our real thoughts, not just those witticisms we post on social media sites) and to find meaning in our feelings and experiences. And it is a very effective tool for doing so. Time magazine recently reported on a new study that suggested that people who journaled for twenty minutes a day about traumatic injuries, and the emotions associated with those experiences, significantly accelerated the healing of their physical injuries. In the study, a control group, which was instructed to write about the plans for the next day without any mention of feelings, opinions, or beliefs, experienced far less healing (seventy-six percent versus forty-two percent).

      Other studies report similar findings. Indeed, research indicates that emotional or expressive writing can enhance immune function, reduce high blood pressure, promote wound healing, and even decrease the severity of asthma and arthritis symptoms. According to Jamie Pennebaker,
