Journaling, Scrapbooking and Memory Keeping as Healing Tools — Why Your Thoughts Need Somewhere to Land

from How Can I Make My Life Better? · host Charlene Adams

Memory keeping saved my life. In this episode I talk about the deeply therapeutic power of journaling, scrapbooking and memory boxes — not as hobbies but as genuine tools for emotional processing, grief navigation and personal development.I share what neuroscience says happens in the brain when you write your feelings down, how I used my journal to process the grief of losing my cat Edie while heavily pregnant, the difference between reflective writing and expressive writing, and why a scrapbook page is where the joy goes while a journal is where the pain goes safely.The Layout collection - 12 Scrapbook Templates to get You Started: https://www.patreon.com/posts/layout-12-page-156801686?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkYoutube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@soulandscissorsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/soulandscissors/Patreon: https://patreon.com/SoulandScissors?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink(I have a January Promo running until the end of the month.
