I see that you are trying to understand more about journaling for mental health. It can be a great idea to use this form of expression to gain clarity over your thoughts and manage your emotions. In traditional sense, journaling involves writing, which may again have many forms, depending on the purpose and goals. However, journaling can also involve art (drawing, colouring, doodling), making a scrapbooking, etc. For more guidance, connecting with a counselor can be helpful. Each individual is different, and it is completely alright to use different forms of expression to fit their needs. I hope this provides you with clarity!
