Stress Management Journaling for Optimal Health

Health care professionals have long praised the benefits that keeping a journal has on one’s mental health. And it can certainly be proven that journaling or recording one’s life experiences is an aid to self-development and self-awareness, since it records information about one’s innermost feelings and ideas.

In fact, much has been written about the benefits of keeping a journal, including:

Journaling has many physical and mental therapeutic benefits.
  • Journaling helps clarify goals and dreams

  • Journaling helps quiet the mind; it provides you with the ability to focus on anything you want

  • Journaling provides you with “ME” time, time alone with yourself and your thoughts

  • Journaling provides a private arena to say and feel whatever you wish

  • Journaling provides a written account of where you’ve come from and where you’re going

  • Journaling helps with stress reduction – things don’t seem to bother you as much once they are written down

  • Journaling helps provide a written account of your personal history, something to look back on

  • Journaling can be done any way you choose, daily, randomly, when the spirit moves you, whenever; there are no rules, no musts

  • Journaling helps you speak what’s in your mind and in your heart

  • Journaling is a form a self-expression

Many use the excuse, “I don’t have the time to journal!” Try it for a few minutes a day for a month. See how it makes you feel. Many people admit that they don’t know how they lived without their journals after a month’s time. It becomes a valuable resource, a pleasurable pastime, and a trusted friend to process situations and maintain our emotional balance.

Dr. Riffey Asks some important questions of interest to Rocklin residents - Chiropractor Rocklin Dr. Riffey Asks...

Can someone who has had back surgery receive chiropractic care?
Yes. Rest assured that we will avoid the surgically modified areas of your spine. However, what we find is that surgical interventions will often produce spinal instability above or below the involved level. This is will be the focus of your chiropractic care.
Would you rather feel good or be healthy?
Ask most people in Rocklin and they want to feel good. Careful! Would you take medicine that makes you feel good, rather than vomit to expel improperly prepared food? Every chiropractic patient knows that you can't measure your health by how you feel. True health is when your body works as it should.
