why writing it out works
journaling isn’t just a nice habit. researchers have been studying what happens when people put their thoughts on paper for forty years.
-
15 minutes
students who wrote about a difficult experience for fifteen minutes a day, four days in a row, made fewer visits to the campus health center in the months that followed.
Pennebaker & Beall, 1986, Journal of Abnormal Psychology. A review of 146 later studies found a small but real benefit overall (Frattaroli, 2006, Psychological Bulletin).
-
one word
naming a feeling calms the brain’s alarm system. in brain scans, putting an emotion into words reduced activity in the amygdala.
Lieberman et al., 2007, Psychological Science (UCLA).
-
5 minutes
writing a specific to-do list for five minutes before bed helped people fall asleep about ten minutes faster than writing about what they’d already done.
Scullin et al., 2018, Journal of Experimental Psychology: General.
-
10 weeks
people who wrote down what they were grateful for each week felt more optimistic and more positive about their lives than people who wrote about hassles.
Emmons & McCullough, 2003, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
-
12 weeks
adults with anxiety who journaled about positive experiences for fifteen minutes, three times a week, reported less distress and more resilience than those who didn’t. twelve weeks is about the length of one chapter of the flourish year.
Smyth et al., 2018, JMIR Mental Health.
journaling supports your wellbeing, but it isn’t a replacement for professional care. these studies looked at specific groups of people, and results vary from person to person.
