Keeping a diary means writing something and it helps one to bring out content in any language in a productive way. If you think of a thing and you write it down, it helps free you in a way. Disorder in the form of unsorted memories has a destination, and that has a kind of relieving effect. It’s like putting an empty glass on the shelf so that it can be refilled repeatedly. I no longer think much, feel much, or suffer over silly matters. They don’t have a home in your heart, but they do have a home in your diary.
Writing also makes you think and act, or perhaps react more methodically or logically than does speaking. As students, if everything is in the mind and has not been discovered on paper, then frustration sets in. And merely by writing it down, it becomes clear what the matter is. The process of writing does help in putting some order into your thoughts. It assists one to differentiate between the relevant items and ends up sharing mere clutter.
A diary also contains an individual reflection as its main approach. If you were to do a written reflection on your day or your emotions, by default you begin to draw conclusions. You start knowing why you are formed the way you are, and why particular events recur in your life. Here, this insight assists you in making moral decisions and manage your feelings.
In addition, diary writing strengthens the psychological armour. In moments that are painful, confusing or stressing,writing helps you to get a sound board to let out these feelings. In the long run, it enhances your effectiveness in managing relevant issues with a better perspective depending on the time, energy and maturity of the challenged person.
The most important point here is that by writing in a diary, you do not repress feelings. As opposed to reaching a stage when such thoughts are even bigger issues, you can actively work on them. Finally, it serves to make space and adult decision/choice/possibility, readying one for fresh thought and action with a free, unencumbered mind.
