A Personal Diary is a unique space for self-expression, self-reflection, and self-discovery.
A Personal Diary is a written record of your thoughts, feelings, experiences, and observations. It’s a place to document your life, capture your inner world, and reflect on your personal journey.
Here’s how it works:
Keeping a Personal Diary can offer many benefits, including:
There’s no ‘right’ way to keep a Personal Diary. The most important thing is that it’s a tool for you, by you. Make it what you need it to be.
Dear Diary, Yesterday, while writing my gratitude journal entry, I made an intriguing observation: expressing gratitude in light of recent events in Israel triggered a fear within me. It felt as though being grateful for experiencing peace could somehow be an omen of impending misfortune. I recognize that a latent sense of guilt might be… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, Today’s decision, though small, may set the stage for bigger changes. I’ve been invited to a dinner tonight, and I’ve chosen to attend. This particular social setting triggers fears of judgment or ridicule in me. Yet, upon introspection, I realized that this can be an opportunity to show up with authenticity, which is… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, My journey is indeed bumpy, especially when I face other people in social occasions. Yet, I’m aware that ‘other people’ is my path, and I understand the importance of accepting challenges as growth opportunities. Last night, I went out with some friends. With the added influence of a couple of beers, I found… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, It’s always a peculiar journey, this one of the awakening human. Just a day has passed since I was overwhelmed with the painful emotion of humiliation, all because some friends, likely making innocent fun of me, ended up triggering my deep-seated wounds. I continually ask myself, am I too touchy? Sometimes people hurt… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, Today, as I was working on my project, I found myself writing these lines: “Let’s claim the world we want to see and that we know to be true, even when there’s no evidence that our world exists in the world we see. This is the power of our vision, that’s the power… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, Lately, I’ve been feeling this underlying fear of ending up old and alone. As I write this, it strikes me that this isn’t something I’d easily share with a casual friend, hinting perhaps at some underlying shame or discomfort about this emotion. I ponder if this feeling has been hidden in a corner… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, I have to admit, the journey isn’t always straightforward. Yesterday was one of those challenging days. According to the day’s exercise from ACIM, I was meant to continuously remind myself that I’m surrounded by God’s love. But, honestly, I just couldn’t feel it. Maybe the disappointment from my eye surgery appointment played a… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, Today, as I sat with a dear friend enjoying coffee ice cream at a café, our conversation drifted towards some successful individuals we both know. I found myself criticizing their apparent lack of authenticity, especially in how they present themselves for personal branding. I may be right in my observations, and my arguments… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, I had hoped to pen down uplifting words today, but I find myself grappling with feelings of disappointment: Perhaps I’ll continue exploring other therapists. Or maybe I’ll dedicate myself further to ACIM, which in itself is quite demanding. Disappointment, as you’re experiencing, is a natural emotion, especially when our expectations don’t align with… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, Today I got the strange feeling that I had a new very subtle realization. I recall some fights with an ex-girlfriend of mine. I remember that my feeling at the time was that I wasn’t responsible for how she’d behave but only for having attracted her or manifested that particular situation. Yet, that… [keep reading]
