Journaling is a creative way to record your feelings freely instead of keeping it all inside. Writing is the way that is best suited to reworking complicated themes and exploring them more carefully. It can also be a way to overcome stress, rather than unloading all of our unexplored feelings on someone who has nothing to do with it. Here's how to start writing your personal diary.
Steps
Method 1 of 1: Write Your Journal
Step 1. Find a good notebook
You could also use a blog. Choose the way that suits you best; some like to use both.
Step 2. Customize it
It can be anything. From flowers to books, from trees to computers from photos to Halloween costumes! If you use a blog, try adding photos and choosing colorful templates.
Step 3. Think about noting a diary
Dear Diary (or any other name) is a very popular start with diary writers. It can start with 'Monday, January 1st, 1.00 pm, Bedroom'.
Step 4. Write
About your feelings, your dreams, your crush or your family, it has everything to do with you. Let your mind speak. Try to use paragraphs and highlight a few sentences.
Step 5. As soon as you have finished writing the entire notebook, read it
It's always good to take a look at your finished work. Try to correct it if you want.
Step 6. Add whatever you want
Whether they are scribbles, the words of a song, photos, newspaper articles or book critiques, it's all up to you.
Step 7. Your feelings are really important
If you want to see some examples, try reading some examples or on the internet or some books that teach you how.
Step 8. Keep writing
And have fun.
Step 9. Bring your notebook and pen with you even when you go on vacation, as there are always moments to steal to write about your good and bad feelings
Especially if you go out and about, when you feel you are more comfortable writing about how you feel about your surroundings and the influence it has on you as a human being. I mean you should write about your best feelings when you feel them, but don't discard them when you're feeling down either because words help you understand who you are and who you want to become.
Advice
- It better be a secret. It is better that no one reads about your feelings and your secrets.
- It is better to write with a pen because the pencil can be erased.
- Write for your entire life. If you finish one notebook, start another.
- Find an isolated, familiar place to write (for example, your bedroom with the door locked), but other isolated places are fine too. (The back yard.)
- If you write on a blog, close it and keep it exclusive 'for blog writers only'.
- If you want to write to yourself while you are in school, make sure no one sees you. Choose an isolated place to write.
- Don't share the diary with your friends or siblings.
Warnings
- If someone reads it without your permission, face it and tell them you absolutely don't want them to read it. Then take the necessary precautions, such as finding a notebook with a padlock.
- Your secrets could be spread around the net if you don't close them. (This only applies to blog writers.)
- When you are done writing, always put your diary in a safe place that nobody knows about. The best thing is that it has a padlock.
- Someone may find that you keep a diary.
