Setting & achieving your goals A journal is a good place to write your goals, ambitions, aspirations and new year resolutions.

Recording ideas on-the-go The benefits of keeping a journal is that you can record all of your ideas in one place anytime and at anywhere. Whenever an idea comes to your mind, you can write it down in your journal. You can then revisit these ideas later on to look for new links, form conclusions or even get a fresh idea! Relieving stress Writing down your feelings helps you to "brain-dump" your anxieties, frustrations and pains on a journal. This can help you to reduce and release any stress which you have accumulated overtime. Allowing yourself to self-reflect Journaling is a good way to help us to stop, take a step back and reflect on ourselves. We can self-reflect on gratitude or what we did today and write it in our diary. Daily reflection can also be done at night before bed. We can look back at our life in a journal and think about how we've changed and what we can do to improve ourselves. Boosting your memory Your brain is likely to store information that you have written down in your journal. Your brain will make stronger connections with the information you have learned after you write them down, making it easier for you to recall in the future too!

In Sanskrit, the word "chakra" means "disk" or "wheel" and refers to the energy centers in your body. These wheels or disks of spinning energy each correspond to certain nerve bundles and major organs. The Crown Chakra, Sahasrāra, is described as the thousand-petaled lotus. It is depicted on the notebook cover with shades of violet colored petals. Within the center of this colorful mandala is the Sanskrit symbol for the mantra "aum" or "om".
