Journal Your Way to Happiness | Julmar Carcedo | TEDxBrownU
Despite the unfortunate “cards he’s dealt with,” Julmar Carcedo '16, an international student on financial aid from Davao, Philippines, managed to find happiness on Brown’s campus. In this TEDx talk, he shares his personal journey and gives us advice on finding our happiness through journaling.
Julmar comes to Brown University from the Mindanao region of the Philippines. Despite growing up in a small town isolated from the rest of the world, he dreamed of a life bigger than himself. He grew up with amidst domestic violence, constant financial challenges, and discrimination for being gay but that didn’t stop him to chase his dreams relentlessly. His enduring spirit led him to an international scholarship to finish high school in Hong Kong and then to Brown. He believes that life is largely consisted of null moments in between significant events. During those null moments, he induces happiness in his life through journaling.

Writing a journal has so many benefits for your mental health.
A great message.Journaling is also incredibly valuable in reversing symptoms of chronic pain that is routed within the emotional brain. I'm often amazed by how much clearer I am about my feelings and emotions after I've journaled. Don't listen to the haters, your message is a good and valuable one.
Awesome.....you don’t have to be perfect .......to be perfectly happy..... ❤️
