The Benefits of Keeping a Journal

The Benefits of Keeping a Journal
Journaling is a powerful tool for self-reflection. I started writing when I was 12, scribbling about school dramas and dreams. Over time, it became more than a diary—it’s a place to sort my thoughts. When I’m angry, writing helps me calm down; when I’m confused, listing pros and cons clarifies decisions. Journaling also tracks growth: reading entries from a year ago, I see how my perspectives have changed. Sometimes, I draw or paste photos in it, making it a creative outlet. My favorite part is looking back on happy moments—like the day I helped a friend, which I’d forgotten until rereading. Whether it’s daily notes or weekly reflections, journaling is a private conversation that helps you know yourself better.

Unlike summer’s heat or winter’s chill, autumn’s temperature is perfect for outdoor hikes or bonfires with friends. It’s a season of transition, reminding us to embrace change gracefully. Every sunset feels more vibrant, as if nature is bidding farewell to the day with extra warmth.

Walt Disney transformed storytelling through animation. Born in 1901, he started with a mouse—Mickey, created in 1928—and built an empire.

Disney dreamed bigger, opening Disneyland in 1955, a “happiest place on Earth.” Known for his perfectionism and childlike wonder, he once said, “All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.” Though he died in 1966, his magic lives on in films, parks, and the joy of generations.

How to Stay Healthy

Staying healthy is simple with good habits. First, eat a balanced diet—include fruits, vegetables, grains, and less junk food. I drink milk every morning and eat an apple as a snack. Second, exercise regularly. Walking, running, or dancing for 30 minutes a day keeps the body strong. I join a weekly basketball club with my friends. Third, get enough sleep. Most teens need 8-10 hours, so I go to bed before 10 pm. Finally, stay happy—laugh with friends and avoid stress. A healthy body means a happy life!
