In a world that yells, “hustle, hustle, hustle,” we say, “be still.” Focus on being before doing, unveil your true identity, and prioritize self-care so that you can serve others from a place of wholeness instead of overwhelm.

The Journal Collection was designed to accompany you on your beautiful journey of becoming, in every season.

After years of working with women through personal and professional development, I’ve found there hasn’t been a more powerful practice than that of intentional writing.

Keeping a journal has been one of the most significant tools that has helped people grow into the best versions of themselves. Journaling allows you to focus on your goals, track new habits, reduce anxiety, and, in some cases, even depression.

We’ve found it to be a practical tool that can help you take every thought captive and cultivate a more intimate connection in your spiritual development. Authentic change and transformation require us to be radically honest with ourselves. Your journal can become that safe-haven to express feelings, emotions, and profound thoughts.

Studies show that habitual journaling has tremendous benefits that go far beyond what we may perceive. Journaling regularly unlocks insights about your behaviors and habits, reduces stress, helps with emotional stability, and unleashes creativity.

If you do a Google search on “the benefits of journaling,” you’ll find over 500 million results. You’re not alone in uncovering this gem of a practice. Here are just a few reasons why you should incorporate journaling as a form of self-care:

• Journaling improves your working memory.
