A personal diary is a kind of analysis of oneself. After looking back at your past, studying your behavior in some situations, you can analyze and determine how to correctly behave yourself in the future. But many people have a question about how to keep a personal diary. Some are of the opinion that you need to take notes on a daily basis, while others do not know what to write about every day.
Which personal diary to choose
Before you start keeping a personal diary, you need to decide on its option. There are 2 types of diaries:
- Handwritten version.
- Blog on the Internet.
A handwritten version of a personal diary has been known since ancient times. For centuries, women have been recording their personal experiences in notebooks that were hidden from prying eyes.
The 21st century gives people the opportunity to go beyond the boundaries of the classic diary and offers to create it on the Internet. If necessary, you can close your diary on the Internet from strangers. As a last resort, the diary can be created under some pseudonym. The advantage of an Internet blog is the ability to upload your favorite pictures, music or videos. With deep feelings or problems, the author can ask advice from other blog creators.

Another advantage of a handwritten diary is the ability to design it for every taste. Writing in it can be done with colored pens, felt-tip pens. Mark interesting thoughts with a highlighter or frame. Any fantasy of the author will come true. If necessary, you can paste interesting newspaper clippings, photographs or pictures into your personal diary.
It is worth buying for yourself some kind of notebook with a lock or a button. Let it be more expensive than ordinary notebooks, but after all, it will remain with the owner for many years.
After purchasing a notebook, it is worth purchasing cover material. For example, felt. You can buy it in many stores, and a huge selection of shades will allow you to choose the perfect one for yourself. Cut the cover out of felt, sew on the pockets to hold the notebook. You can glue flowers, angels or rhinestones on the cover. You can create a whole masterpiece.
It is advisable to make a special pocket on the cover or on the first page. It will contain memorable photographs or notes that someday will be in the hands of the owner.
How to keep a personal diary
You can make absolutely any entries in your personal diary. Do not be afraid that someone will read it. After all, it will be stored in a place inaccessible to others.
You need to keep a diary constantly. Even if nothing happened in a day, then it is worth doing at least a couple of lines. If you have no idea what to write in it, then refer to the following tips:
- Don't be afraid to write down all your thoughts. Let them seem strange and incomprehensible from the outside. But then these notes will help you analyze yourself.
- Write down all your feelings, emotions, and experiences. This is especially true of feelings of love for a man. Maybe he will become your husband and in some conflict situation these records will help you remember all the feelings that were experienced for this man at the very beginning of the relationship.
- If you remember what you dreamed at night, then write down your dream and the state of it after waking up. These entries in your personal diary will help you sort out your inner problems. Determine why this or that dream had a dream.
- Try to write down as many positive thoughts as possible. After all, after re-reading them, the soul becomes good again. But don't be afraid to vent your sadness. After all, a personal diary is your friend to whom you can tell absolutely everything. Such records will allow you not to keep sadness, anger and longing in yourself and not to get hung up on some problems.
- But do not turn your personal diary into a list of enemies, their actions and problems with them. By making such notes constantly and re-reading them, you will simply be angry with the person again. And enemies must be forgiven.
