Journaling every day helps relieve your mood and develop intelligence.

According to Dr. Psychology Nguyen Huong Lan, writing secret things is a healthy habit and many benefits. However, not everyone knows and maintains. People psychologically sometimes feel disturbed, not knowing what they want or need to do. Diary is a simple way to help you find a companion, listen unconditionally. When writing, people quickly approach their inner world, understand the inner world, and then have ways to improve their mood.

'Writing about frustrations and sorrows helps you relieve some of the negative emotions, reduce stress,' Huong Lan said. When emotions are released, the mood will quickly balance.

When writing, the brain stimulates the ability to search for new words and increases vocabulary. This has a positive correlation with intelligence. Gradually, the ability to express will become instinctive. Skills of expressing emotions, understanding emotions from others have also been developed. Moreover, every day spent about 20-30 minutes writing a diary is a habit of training self-discipline. This habit tends to spread, forming healthy activities such as keeping rooms clean and tidy.

The writing process will access the left brain area, eliminate mental barriers and help the mind relax. Sometimes, this activity activates to the right brain, helping you find unexpected solutions to problems that are encountered.
