Do you want to start a diary? It can be hard to start if you don't know-how. Here, are the 7 steps to starting your own diary.
1) Decide on what type of diary you want (digital or paper).
2) Get some paper and pens with different colors in case you're feeling creative.
3) Write in your journal! Share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with anyone who wants to read it.
4) Write about something that's bothering you. You'll feel better once it's out in the open.
5) Find someone to talk to when things get tough or just need company.
6) Keep your journal by your bed so that when you wake up from a dream, nightmare, or just from sleep talking--you can write about it right away before you forget!
7) If you've been having a rough day and think there might be a serious issue going on.
Recently, I've been thinking about how much my life has changed in the past year. The New Year is a time to set goals and reflect on where you are now so that you can make changes for the future.
The thing is, reflecting on your life can be really hard to do alone. That's where diaries come in!
A diary is a place to store all of your personal thoughts and feelings. It's an outlet to express yourself without fear of judgment or being judged. It's a way for you to have someone listen when you're having a tough day or just need someone to talk to. Meeting with friends and family is important, but sometimes it feels like they don't understand what you're going through--especially if they're older than you or don't share the same background as you.
Diaries allow people who might not otherwise know each other or be able to meet up with each other, become friends and support one another through difficult times. If we all had diaries, we would be able to show our struggles and feel less alone in this world.
Starting your own diary can be hard. We live in a digital age where most people just journal on their phones or laptop. But there are benefits to writing by hand.
One benefit of starting your own paper diary is that you'll have something tangible to look back on. It's like having an old letter from a friend--the kind where the edges are tattered and there are crinkles everywhere. You know this letter has seen better days, but it still holds memories and feelings that can't be replaced.
For some people, the act of handwriting what they're feeling is therapeutic, too. It's like getting an urge to purge all your worries onto paper instead of letting them linger inside you. Think about how good you feel after writing down your thoughts!
Don't forget to date each entry so you can keep track of when things happened!

A diary is a great place to share your thoughts and feelings with others. Here are some tips on how to get started:
Find a journal you like. It can be online or in paper, but it should be something that feels special to you.
Some people like writing in a physical book because it feels personal and they can't go back and edit things. If you're more comfortable with digital, there are plenty of apps you can use to write your thoughts--like Day One or Evernote.
Start small and aim for consistency. It's worth it to give yourself time to get used to writing every day so don't push yourself too hard. Start by committing to one entry per day for two weeks so your journaling habits become routine.
You'll feel better once it's out in the open. Keep your journal by your bed so that when you wake up from a dream, nightmare, or just from sleep talking--you can write about it right away before you forget! You might also want to find someone who will listen if something is bothering you and keep them updated on what's going on in your life.
Start by deciding if you want to keep your diary in a digital format or paper. This will largely depend on how much time you have and what you're comfortable with when it comes to writing. Once this is decided, all you need are pens and paper! You can start by writing about anything that's bothering you so that it's out in the open. Your thoughts won't be stuck in your head anymore!
It's important to remember that talking to someone when things get tough is the best way to cope with them. If you find yourself feeling alone or just need some company, find someone who wants to talk! Keeping your journal close by your bed will also help when you wake up from dreams, nightmares, or just talking in your sleep--you can quickly write them down before forgetting what happened. Finally, if you've been having a rough day and think there might be a serious issue going on, make sure to tell someone about it! It's the only way they'll know there's something wrong and be able to help!
