Journaling or diary writing can be a very beneficial hobby. It not only improves your writing but helps you to introspect and analyse your actions. It helps you to improve yourself mentally, emotionally and psychologically. It helps you to understand who you are , your behavior, your habits  and what you need to develop or remove from yourself. The process of journaling is very effective when you want to achieve a goal because when you regularly track your progress and actions you become better at planning and achieve your goals. 

It also increases your confidence and self - esteem. It helps you to figure out who you actually are. 

It reduces stress levels and anxiety because it let's your stored emotions out of your mind and relaxes your heart and body. 

When you find who you are, it is not that difficult to find what your purpose is and you start gaining inspiration, not from outside but from your own soul. 

It makes you a more conscious person, as your every action is well- planned and organized. You stop making mistakes or it justs lessens your chances to make mistakes. 

It helps you to become more emotionally intelligent as when you understand yourself, you are able to understand others. It develpes empathy and compassion in you and makes you a more sensible and sensitive person. 

I would say journaling is a really good habit. I personally had this habit and I wrote 4 diaries their names were Sarah, Nikolai, Gaia, Savannah but then I stopped because now I reached a state where I started to understand myself and needed no one else to understand me. 

I still have those diaries and once I read all of them to see how far I have come and developed at a spiritual level. But, then I decided I won't read them as there are some instances in our lives that we don't like to remember and there is no use of looking back because memories whether good or bad are hurtful as either we regret that the time can't come back or regret that we could have done something else that time so that the situation was different. 

I found it really useful and I recommend it to everyone, you know one of the interesting thing that will happen with you is that you will be able to look beyond yourself and read people like a book.
