On Dear Diary Day, you can write an extra entry. For those who don’t keep a diary, consider starting one.
Also known as journaling, studies have shown expressing our thoughts in a written form every day reduces anxiety and stress. It also broadens our vocabulary and language skills.
By writing our stressors out on paper or tapping them out on the computer, we organize our thoughts and develop tools for dealing with our everyday struggles.
Through long-term journaling and diary-keeping, we focus our energy on resolving issues and achieving goals.
Over time, a diary can offer many rewards including memories. We can see our successes and learn from our mistakes.
But diaries aren’t just for reducing stress. They offer us a glimpse into how we change and remind us of events long forgotten. Diaries also offer a reference for future generations.
While many may think of diaries as a place to keep precious secrets, they also provide a look at how life has changed from one generation to another.
They also serve as a reminder of ways long forgotten, words no longer in use or attitudes that were once acceptable.
