A few years ago, I had many problems with my family and my academic performance was very bad. These problems kept happening until I got into an acute depression. It was very painful to feel worthless and have no confidence. At that time, I decided to change myself and be a better person. I have decided that I won’t accept my situation and I will fix all my problems one by one. Among all the habits that I have developed, the most radical one of them is journaling. The truth is that I was very frustrated with my handwriting and I thought that if I write every day for one hour I will improve my handwriting after a while. So, I carried a notebook with me to college and I started writing my thoughts between my classes every day. I used to spend more than one hour every day. I kept doing this for more than six months. I didn’t realize that what I am doing is called journaling until a very long time. I was a very surprised of what I wrote. I realized that I had a lot of negativity and pessimism. I kept complaining about the same problems every day until I start writing solutions. I gradually started making actions and solve one problem at a time. I developed many habits such as waking up 5 am, working out, cooking, running, affirmation, eating healthy food and more habits. However, the most transformational habit which changed my life dramatically is journaling. I strongly believe that journaling is the most effective method to cure depression for most people. I don’t do journaling anymore because I realized that if I am not depressed it is not really helpful. Currently, I only do journaling when I feel depressed. Finally, it is extremely important to hide your journal from everybody because anybody who read your journal is like watching you naked. You have all your secrets and feeling in your journal.
