Each November we turn our attention to Family with our Alive
In All Seasons Theme: Cherish the Journey. We have always enjoyed helping our
residents chronical their individual life journeys through journaling. In
addition to keeping track of the daily happenings in our lives, journaling has
surprising health benefits as well. University of Texas at Austin psychologist
and researcher James Pennebaker contends that regular journaling strengthens
immune cells, called T-lymphocytes. He also believes that writing about
stressful events helps you come to terms with them, thus reducing the impact of
stress on your health. Other research indicates that journaling decreases the
symptoms of asthma and rheumatoid arthritis. Scientific evidence also shows
that writing your thoughts down can help clarify your thoughts and feelings,
help you to know yourself better, reduce stress, and problem solve more
effectively. An additional benefit of journaling is that you are leaving a
legacy for future generations. Review your journal together! Reminiscing about
the events in one’s life is a way to affirm who they are, what they’ve
accomplished in life and relive happy times. So, pick up a pen and Cherish the
Journey, the benefits are endless!
Join our journey through November as we honor and celebrate
family and the journey of life with our autobiographical journaling. Help us
support our greater community with our annual Food Drive and our on-site
support groups. We look forward to seeing you soon!
