2. Diary tips
Ways to stay focused during journaling, to help your thoughts flow more easily include:
Let your emotions run free and write them all down. Given that no one is reading what you write, you're less likely to edit or worry about bad spelling, grammar, or language. Try to keep a journal on a regular basis, 20 minutes a day is ideal. Write at a time when it is quiet and relaxing, for example, in bed before going to bed. Renew your writing topic by writing letters to yourself, to loved ones who are no longer with you. If you only write down negative thoughts, try to move the article in a different direction. Limit re-reading articles with negative content, maybe even tearing it away after writing as a feeling of cleansing. Keep the diary near your bed, in your bag, in your car, or write it down on your computer or phone, as long as it's most convenient for you. Constantly remind yourself that “no matter what I write, it will make me feel better after I write it down”. Journaling can improve your mood and manage symptoms of depression. You can stick to journaling every day and write at times when it's quiet and relaxing
