This morning, start your day with journaling to feel great; know the benefits here | Health

Mornings show the day ahead, and when we have a slow and steady morning, we get time and space to prepare the body and mind for the upcoming hours of the day ahead. Mornings are meant to be started slowly and with a fresh mind. Some prefer to go for a walk or cycling, while some prefer to meditate and contemplate. Some like having the time of the morning with their loved ones around, while some prefer to journal their thoughts and pour their heart out on their notebooks. Here are the amazing benefits of journaling in the morning:
