Scientifically proven effect and practical benefits of keeping a diary

Italics are quotes from LifeHacker)

Counselors, social workers, and therapists also recommend diary to patients, as the psychological and emotional effects of writing a diary have been demonstrated by numerous data. For example, in this paper published in the journal Advances in Psychiatric Treatment, participants can reconcile emotional events such as trauma and stress by repeating 15 to 20 minutes of writing 3 to 5 times. I say I was able to do it.

The psychological and emotional effects of writing a diary have been demonstrated here as well.

I’m convinced by the phrase “combine emotional events.”

For example, keeping a daily work diary keeps track of your failures and successes. Keeping a record is not only useful when you are depressed, but also gives you a guide when you get lost on the road. Simply take out your work diary and review what you’ve done well so you may find patterns that you should follow for your work. Besides, those achievements and wonderful moments not only increase self-esteem, but also provide a strong basis for negotiating a salary increase with your boss. It’s not just people who are creative that it’s effective to look back on what they’ve done and what they need to do. It’s great to know your mistakes before others point out, and by documenting what you’ve achieved, you don’t miss out on your achievements.

It seems that the effect of the diary on mental stability is deeply related to work.

It says, “It will give you a guide when you get lost on the road,” but a diary that records your failures and successes will find your success / failure patterns, so you can work efficiently. It may help you to get things done and get the job done faster.
