Keeping a Diary With Purpose

Reflecting back on diary entries, you may find you are just the help you need in your own life

A diary can play many roles. It can be a confidant, a vehicle of self expression, a tool that facilitates clarity of thought, or a repository of dreams. A diary can also be a powerful source of comfort during challenging or traumatic periods. When you record those insights and incidents that clearly demonstrate you are on the right track, you can return to your words days, weeks, or months later and find uniquely soothing reassurance. A diary with a specific purpose can be a good tool for keeping track of experiences before the passage of time can skew your perception of events. It reflects the immediacy of your life and thus provides you with a landmark to return to when you begin to doubt yourself. If doubt does arise, simply open your diary to reaffirm your experiences. The confidence, surety, passion, and bravery you felt in a single moment is preserved, giving you a means to recapture those feelings in any place, at any time.

Your diary serves as a repository of personalized encouragement. Since a diary is, by its very nature, as individual as you are, you should give some thought to the type of diary that will serve you best. A synchronicity-and-connections diary might describe those instances where seemingly random occurrences came together in a meaningful way, propelling you forward. Or you may find strength in the pages of a pride diary that makes note not only of those times you felt proud of yourself but also precisely why you were pleased with your efforts. And a cause-and-effect diary can help you become more decisive by reminding you of all the wise, life-affirming choices you have made. Your diary should be small enough to be readily portable and on hand whenever possible because the faster you put your thoughts down on paper, the more authentic your declarations are apt to be.

Regardless of the type of focused diary you choose to keep, your recollections will create a positive feedback loop that helps you cope with doubt in a constructive way. Reading through your diary when life seems uncertain can show you that your misgivings are unfounded. As you draw consolation from your uplifting words, you will know without a doubt that you are indeed living your purpose and following the path that you committed to before birth. 😎

@shoelady60,

Good day in the burgh. 😘Stay warm and toasty with Jake. 🤣I have so many pictures
and like you I have no wall space. The thing I like is it looks really nice and not junky or
out of place. 😎We are cold in OZ no snow yet.

Make sure Jake stays safe. I hope you don’t lose power. Just putting up the annual
Christmas Tree Dresses. 🤣 Heidi Daus comes on today btw. 💕

@71flowerchild,

and hubby are having a good and safe Holiday Season. Give Jewell and Little D
a nice cool OZ hug. 🤣 Take care and be safe. 🌹

@taci,

Good Morning in S. California my friend. I hope this day finds you doing well.
We are cold in OZ this morning tomorrow we may have SNOW! 😎

I took Poppy out nice and early. I brought my husband one of his Christmas present
from HSN and it came at 6:00 a.m. I was in shock. 🤣Way to go HSN. 😘

I am doing my annual Christmas Tree Dresses I hope it brings a smile to your face. 😎

No worries I put one up for your mother. 💕

@oodiebom,

Good Afternoon in Florida. I hope you and hubby had some good rest. 😘💕
We were frozen in OZ and I had all the cover on last night and slept like a baby.

Oodie I am so pleased with Andrew Lessman Eye Supplements I feel the same way
you do. The reason well nothing had changed in two years in my vision or eyes.
Last year when I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer I totally forgot to make an appt
but it was in December. BTW, this is my first year since I got the news and then
when I tried to make an appt. they said they were shut down. So here I am and my
eyes and hubby eyes are in tip top shape. I will never be without Andrew’s Eye Supplements.

I hope you are able to find you a nice comforter set I am glad you are not in the North.
The weather does not look good. Oodie after all the Covid-19 business is over I would drive
so fast to NE I would drive safe but I would get out of Florida for a while. 😎

Be care moving things. Wishing you a very safe and good day. 😘

@ddshoppy,

Good Morning in S. California. Have a good and safe day with your granddaughter. 😘💕

I like a little Christmas cheer and I do the Holiday dresses every year. 😎🌹
I can see this in a window on Rodeo Drive. ❤

@loaf,

Good Morning in the Rock and Roll City. Loaf things are going well for me. Thank you
for being here. Happy Holidays and I can see you wearing something like this singing
at the Grand Ole Opry. 😘💕😎🌹 I know you are a singer too. 😘

Love you. 💕
