The diary is good for your health

Why is that?
Keeping a diary means relaxing from everyday life and letting go of what's happened as soon as it's written down. Regular journaling can strengthen the immune system, prevent illness, and reduce stress. It can have a similar effect to jogging or even meditation. By writing down events, we become clearer about our feelings. Thoughts can be revisited. The result is more balance and improved self-esteem.

And there's no need for an expensive, elaborate notebook. Any small note book will suffice. Another advantage is that you can "monitor" yourself excellently. What about those resolutions last year? And there's nothing more exciting than embarking on a journey into yourself. Try reading your diary from five years ago...
