Holocaust Remembrance Day is a time for reflection, honoring those who endured unimaginable hardship and those who lost their lives. Journaling has long been a tool for healing, helping individuals process emotions and document experiences. Anne Frank’s diary stands as a profound example of the power of words to connect and heal across generations.
Why Journaling Matters
Studies show that expressive writing can reduce stress, enhance emotional well-being, and improve mental clarity. A 2018 study from the University of California found that individuals who journaled for just 15 minutes a day reported a 28% decrease in stress after one month.
How to Start a Reflective Journal

- Use prompts: Reflect on questions like, “What am I grateful for today?” or “What lessons can I draw from history?”
- Leverage tools: The Life Planner app offers a built-in Journal feature, along with a Mood Tracker, to help you document and understand your emotional journey.
