Dear Diary Day is observed annually on September 22. On Dear Diary Day write an extra entry or if you don’t keep a diary consider keeping one.

Also known as journaling, studies have shown expressing our thoughts in a written form on a daily basis reduces anxiety and stress. It also broadens our vocabulary and language skills.

By writing our stressors out on paper or tapping them out on the computer, we organize our thoughts and develop tools for dealing with our everyday struggles. Through long-term journaling and diary-keeping, we focus our energy on resolving issues and achieving goals. Over time, a diary can offer many rewards including memories. We can see our successes and learn from our mistakes.

HOW TO OBSERVE

Write a special entry in your diary and take a look back. See how your diary has progressed.
