Hello everybody,
In this blog, I'm always talking about how I write in a personal journal, and the pros for keeping one. But I think that this subject deserves an in-depth post, so this is what this blog post is going to be about!
Writing in a personal journal, like a diary, really helps you relax and de-stress, I've said this before. I've noticed before that I always feel happy and positive when I finish writing. And you can write whatever you want in your journal. You can write about your feelings, problems, the things you need to accomplish like New Year's resolutions or to-do lists, an event that you experienced, whatever! That's what I like about journals.
Now, if I remember correctly, I got interested in keeping and writing in a journal when I actually got to choose a journal that I thought suit me. It automatically made me want to write in it. So, obviously, I started writing in it a lot. Not everyday, but I wrote in it a lot. Eventually though I always wanted to write in it, everyday. So, if you want to start writing in a journal, choose a book that you think suits you, and your personality.
Write about anything and everything! Don't hold things back! What's the point in keeping a personal diary? As soon as you start writing, everything will pool out. You'll keep on writing and writing, and then at the end, you'll feel so light, and like everything is off your shoulders. You'll have an empty mind. It feels like you're telling a friend everything that happened to you. It'll feel like they're really listening to you. So just write whatever you want!
I really love doing this, and it's reading your past entries! I find it so amusing to read what I wrote months ago. Sometimes I read my entries, and I think that I acted differently then. Or I read an entry, and I think to myself Did I actually do that?! or Wow, I actually wrote that!. You'll laugh a lot, I promise you that. Or you'll smile, remember that one event that happened like, five months ago. It's amazing to me how I remember everything that's happened whenever I read my previous entries. I read a line, and I think Oh hey, I remember that! Then this happened..!. Another reason why re-reading your journal is really cool, is because you might write something in there like Oh this person told me that they liked this. and when you re-read it, and their birthday is coming up, you can buy that person the thing they liked. You'll see, you'll always be re-reading your diary. For those who read their past entries, you know what I mean!
Like I've said before, you don't always have to write in your journal every day. When you're bored, or you really feel like writing, then do it! Some people like writing in the morning, to start their day off, and some people like to write in their journals at night, to finish their day. I personally don't like writing in the morning, so I always write in my journal in the afternoon, evening, or night before I go to bed.
So, I hope you invest in a journal that you like, and to begin writing in one. It's a nice way to get rid of all your stress, and to relax. Have some background music! In a couple years, you'll read them again and have a good laugh out of them. You could even show it to your future kids if you keep them for a while..! Hihi...=) I hope you liked this post!
Keep Smiling,
