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.

How come medical doctors don't recommend chiropractic?
That's changing. Years of prejudice and bias are giving way to research showing the benefits of chiropractic care. As more and more Omaha folks seek alternatives to drugs and surgery, more and more medical practitioners are referring their patients to chiropractors.
Do nerves actually get pinched?
Chiropractors recognize two types of nerve disorders involved in subluxation. The least common is a pinched nerve that diminishes nerve supply to an affected organ or tissue. More common is the irritated nerve (facilitative lesion) which overexcites nerve communications to an affected organ or tissue. Chiropractic care has been shown to help with both types.
