Day 32: Journals journals everywhere

Some of us keep diaries/notebooks for various reasons:

• Keeping Memories

• Evaluation of our behavior

• Express thoughts and feelings

• Write down goals and dreams we want to achieve

• Organize ourselves

To me, my diary is a personal space where I can express my deepest thoughts and feelings about various happenings. I can do whatever I want in it knowing that I am the only one who can access it.

You can write anything you want in your journal. ( Fun tip: you can sometimes even write in code if you have anyone in your house who snoops around- once they open it, they would be puzzled! You got them! )

Remember... this is your personal property- no one can touch it!

Benefits of keeping a diary... We can:

• Recall past experiences

• See where we have gone wrong and improve upon it

• Vent out our bottled emotions

• Get a sense of calmness when we read through it over and again.

Note: A diary doesn't need to look so elegant and stylish.. a simple notebook will do since the content inside matters more....

Anne Frank's diary (which I had read a couple of years ago) is my inspiration to start diary-writing. I found out why she started writing it when I gave it a shot- it gave her happiness.
