  1. HOW USING AN ART JOURNAL FOR THERAPY CAN IMPROVE YOUR LIFE

  2. WHAT IS ART JOURNAL THERAPY? Ideas strike us suddenly, and the life-altering ones frequently come sandwiched between unrelated ones. We risk losing them forever if we don’t capture them. Writing them down, along with our daily tasks, priorities, to-do lists, big goals, etc., is a journaling habit. By doing this, we make them immortal and make it possible for our thoughts to be organized. 2

  3. WHY DOES ART JOURNAL MATTER SO MUCH? A frequently underutilized method of coping with our daily lives is journaling as a form of therapy. The layouts in our bullet journals, sketchbooks, and scrapbooks represent the thoughts going through our minds. They act as guidelines for how we live our daily lives. You can keep a journal for any aspect of your life that is significant to you, such as the inspiration for your artwork, parenting experiences, business ideas, fitness and health goals, culinary experiments, etc. It’s up to you whether you keep separate journals for each of these things or just one. However, the fundamental concept continues: as a form of therapy, journaling helps us to clear our minds, arrange our ideas, deal with our emotions, and accomplish our goals. It can assist us in creating new habits and, ultimately, the lives we want for ourselves. Journaling is the most intimate (almost spiritual) gift we can give ourselves. 2

  4. LIVING A LIFE OF INTENTIONALITY We can live an intentional life, i.e., a life in which we can be honest and do what feels suitable for us, through art journal therapy. It is where mindfulness and productivity converge, and our beliefs and behaviors are in line. We think on paper when we write. Writing down our daily reflections, to-do lists, and random thoughts is a big part of how journaling as therapy improves our cognitive abilities. Our ability to fully understand something from our minds and put it into words, cementing and integrating it into our inner selves, is an act of awareness. Keeping a journal as therapy can make us more conscious of how we think and respond to our environment. We give ourselves a form and gain a broader perspective by verbalizing our feelings and thoughts. From here, we can decide whether to make the necessary changes to our living or not. 2
