I suppose a refutable claim that could be made by this post is “People who regularly journal gain more self awareness than those who do not”

  Is there an experiment that can compare the level of self awareness between two individuals? If not, then it is not refutable.

    It does appear that people have attempted to create such an experiment. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5114878/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5114878/

    that won't help. people can be self-aware through a number of ways. and unless you can measure the self-awareness of any one person and find people with a similar level of self-awareness then how will you measure the effect the journal has? you need to compare your own self-awareness before and after the experiment. only that matters. you can do a study where you let a number of people start a journal and then measure if they report increased self-awareness. but depending on how self-aware they were before, the change may vary from a lot to no change at all without proving or refuting anything.
