Are people who journal happier?
Consider for a moment that you are a teacher at the middle school level. You have the responsibility of supervising children aged 12 for five days each week. Now let's imagine that someone offers to recommend that you, as a pastime, try offering your services as a volunteer tutor to students in the seventh grade. You might be wondering whether that isn't what I do all day long. What could possibly be in it for me? Exactly like that is how I've always felt about keeping a journal. You can see, I write at least a thousand words every day. To be honest, the concept that increasing the amount of writing I do could make me a happier, more creative, and more productive person has always sounded like a lot of work.
However, in the spirit of experimentation (and for the sake of writing something I could actually get paid for), I decided to keep a notebook for the next two weeks and write in it every single day. I really, really wish I could tell you that I have completely transformed into a new person who laughs at the memory of ever rolling my eyes when I was told to keep a journal (for my own purposes), but, unfortunately, it was a struggle.
