The Garden of the Mind Modern Journals

Journaling, science has shown, is a powerful ally when maintaining one's mental health, overcoming anxiety and depression, as well as confronting trauma. It has also shown to have a ripple effect into one's physical health as well. People who keep a journal or diary get sick less often, their wounds heal faster, and they fight diseases like cancer better. Or, if you prefer, you can simply use it as a notebook for note taking, brainstorming, or creating lists. All of these things cultivate your mind, and your mind is a garden which you must nurture, even if that's not through journaling or other creative writing and forms of expression.
