Start a journal today
The practice of keeping a journal has fallen out of favour in recent years. Here at My Own Notepad, we think that’s a minor tragedy. Of course, some would argue that journal-keeping hasn’t been abandoned; it’s simply been replaced by blogging and writing on social media. However, we believe that nothing can truly replace the practice of keeping a journal. If you’d like to revive the practice, it’s worth noting that our personalised notebooks make great journals. But why should you consider starting a journal? What exactly are the advantages of this form of writing?
1. Privacy
A journal is a deeply private, personal way of recording your thoughts. You can write things in a journal that you would never write on social media... or anywhere else for that matter. Writing a journal is a great way to explore and work through your thoughts and experiences in private. Because journal entries are so personal, simply writing them can have a big affect on you. Writing about positive experiences can retroactively enrich them. Even writing about negative experiences in a journal can help you come to terms with them.
2. Thoughtfulness
Writing about your thoughts and experiences by hand in an old-fashioned journal can encourage you to write more carefully. As a result, journal entries can often be beautifully-written and emotive. When you settle down to write a journal entry, you can create a genuinely valuable and inspired piece of writing.
3. Memory
Of course, the best reason for keeping a journal is also the simplest: it allows you to record your memories in a high-quality book that you can keep for years. When you write a journal, you are writing the story of your life and you can look back on this story whenever you like.
Writing a journal is a private and thoughtful process that helps you create memories that will last a lifetime. Our personalised books are the ideal receptacle for your journal entries because you can make the cover as personal as the contents.
