Some believe journaling is a waste of time, that it cannot change you or make you create order in a world of chaos, but is this true? I don't believe it to be. Maybe journaling is not for everyone, some people may need another way of expressing their thoughts, some may not like to do so. But it can be that journaling is for you. Expressing your ideas, thoughts, feelings, goals, fears, is never wrong! And it is what journaling is all about!
It is said to be, for some, a stress management tool and, for others, a source for generating anxiety. The effects of journaling really depend on the person and the amount of stress you put in yourself in the process of it. So, if you want to start journaling don't put much pressure on yourself and just write! Try it out and think if it is effective or overhyped for you. Trying is the only way to find out if it works or not for you. There is no harm in trying, if it's good for you, keep on going!

For me, journaling is effective, but it is not something I do every day. I don't have a strict schedule for it, and I can forget about it for days. I've always liked to put my thoughts and ideas on paper and this is a great way to do so! I recommend trying, but don't turn it into another great stress in your life, use it to relax, express yourself, and put your thoughts into order!
