Most people's impression of a diary may still be stuck in the requirements of primary school teachers for us to write a diary. Transactions and journals are perhaps the way most people think about diaries, which leads us to passively record with a mindset of completing tasks. Over time, most people don't perceive the benefits of a diary, let alone develop the habit of keeping a diary.
But today I want to tell you that journaling will influence your choices, reshape your perceptions, and even completely change your life, do you believe it? Just keep a journal the right way, and your life will change incredibly.
I'm not kidding, but to answer why journals are so valuable, I'm going to summarize the three functions of journals: looking back, clarifying emotions and thinking, and making the right choices.
Is what you're doing today one step closer to what you're trying to achieve?
Note that in this step, we just record our thoughts and decisions truthfully, you don't need to feel guilty about it, you can just look at it, and it's okay if nothing changes. The important thing is to keep a record of the truth, even if it is just a record of the actions of one day, the next actions will be consciously changed, and this is the magic of journaling.
It will force you to turn your gaze to what really matters, and those feelings, emotions and behaviors that have been wasted and ignored will gradually come to light as you reflect day after day.
