Writing a
personal diary was a very usual activity before. Now we can see just a few
people do it because we simply don't know how to keep a personal journal. Even
keeping a diary only for a month can help you with inner balance. It also has
other benefits that can improve your quality of life.
1. It is a constant record of your progress
What
frustrates all of us from time to time - that we are lazy/not doing
enough/making mistakes. We are accumulating this feeling and think we haven't
achieved anything, even it was a period of hard work. So, the diary writing can
definitely prove it's not true, you will see the improvements and it will
inspire you to go on.
2. It leads you towards your goals
The need of
putting your wishes and choosing the actions to paper is huge. If you are a
human being, you definitely noticed how you can think about the same, again and
again, modifying it in your thoughts and creating plans. Writing on paper
brings more peace to your brain, it allows you to see the panorama clearly. By setting
goals and writing the steps for reaching them in your planner or diary, you
have the chance to cool your mind. And free-writing in the diary helps you to track
our aims, and make our targets become closer.
3. It pushes you to think out of frame
While
describing various situations in your diary, you can look at things from a totally
different perspective which didn't come to you before. Writing brings us inspiration
and ability to write about obvious moments in an unusual light.
4. It touches you with details
The clear
sense of life can be explored by writing activity. Describing exciting moments
like the birth of your baby, meeting with a friend, or university graduation brings
life to your pages. Later on you'd love to reread and remember the surrounding
reality again. Same with troubles - to reread them later greatly helps to
accept it logically and feel the time passed and your feelings are not so
dramatic.
5. It enhances your writing skills
What can
help you to skate well? Only practice. Same with writing, so if you're writing down
your memories on a regular basis, soon you will notice it's much easier for you
to write an article at work, or a holiday mails to your relatives.
6. It moves you forward
A diary
will keep your good and hard days. With your everyday reflections, your writing
notes will keep you stronger and more stable in front of your future obstacles.
A diary progress will make you believe that you've coped with so many troubles
already, and found a way to avoid them too. Your personal diary is like an
ongoing novel with main character going forward.
7. It reduces stress
Going on
with your diary lets you to express your emotions, that can be a healthy way of
relieving life tension. Some problems which you cannot discuss with others, can
always be placed in your diary.
So, keeping
diaries can encourage you, minimize your stress and stabilize your mood. It
gives you a view of your past attempts and persistence which pushes you
forward. You can see how far you have come, what you want to get from this life,
and the personal reasons not to give up.
I know also
that my words can't persuade you at once, so today, I've decided to give one
page of Plans Matter diary for free.
It's A5 size, for writing only one line a day. You can't say "no" to
one line, especially when you keep this page in your planner already. You can download One Line Diary here, try it
for one month, and probably YOU will inspire yourself to have a personal diary.
Enjoy :)
