How to record
Keeping a personal diary is an activity thatrequires systematic. Depending on the type of diary, you can write in it and several times a day, and several times a year. But in any case, the diary should be filled only in the appropriate setting and in the appropriate mood. Create a comfortable environment for "communication" with the diary. Find a place where no one can stop you. Making entries in your personal diary requires seclusion, backstage and even intimacy. No one should suddenly break your silent conversation with the diary, interrupt the course of your thoughts and the flow of words. It's great if you have your own room, but it's also important to find a place where you will be especially comfortable. Try writing at a table or in a chair. Or maybe you can easily express your thoughts by climbing with your feet on the sofa? Or maybe a special mood will help create a flickering candle flame? Look for a place in your room where it will be most convenient for you to write. The feeling of comfort can depend on the time of day. Someone better think and write in the afternoon, in the sun-drenched room, and someone most comfortable and pleasant finds a corner in the night kitchen. Find the most suitable for yourself mode of work with the diary. Some girls record in a diary make for themselves an obligatory task. If you start recording every day, even without the proper mood, then soon you will feel instead of the desire to write only a strong irritation. Do not impose any obligations on yourself. Records are best done only when you yourself feel this need. Someone has something to write every day, and someone can not take the diary in a few months. Even if the whole year did not want to write anything - then so be it! Above all, do not forget that just when you feel depressed, harassed, exhausted with happiness or an overflowing of ideas, a new record in the cherished diary can be an ideal way for you to splash emotions. Relax. Personal diaries allow you to be alone with yourself. They allow you to be what you want to be, and not what you need to be. Therefore, do not put too much effort to observe all the formalities necessary for the rest of the time. Forget about the time of grammar, spelling or other perfection of your diary. The desire not to miss and correct any mistake will distract you from your deepest thoughts, and you will not be able to use your record in order to comprehend and understand what worries you with it. 
The Benefits of a Personal Diary
Every girl always has some problems. Unfortunately, you can not always share them with everyone. And the practice of psychological counseling is not common here. Yes, it will not be very convenient for a girl to go with her maiden problems to adults, who can not count this problem. Well, in that case, use a diary to work with your problems. A personal diary is the first tool to help you solve complex issues. In the diary you can throw out your anger, rage, jealousy, all your negative emotions. And he will not judge you, he will not cry out, he will not begin to curse you. And most importantly - the diary will not read the notations. He will take everything from you - the most angry curses, the most tearful complaints, the most hysterical claims. The great thing is that, by splashing out your emotions in one place, you will not feel the need to spill them out elsewhere. You can get a breather to re-read the notes and try to see your emotions with other eyes. Perhaps you will understand that you were wrong; and a diary that made it possible to give vent to frustration and anger helped you avoid a real conflict that you might regret later. To start to conduct the personal diary will be useful also to those who in any way can not self-organize. If you are unable to force yourself, for example, to observe the regime of the day, do gymnastics or perform any other intended goals, then an assistant for you will become a diary of ideas. Write about your plans and interesting ideas, and then have the opportunity to analyze your own achievements or what prevented their implementation. This is a tempting idea for any girl.
Do not forget about safety
You must be sure that your diary is notfall into the wrong hands. If this probability is not ruled out, you will not be able to really express yourself in your entries. In addition, the diary can jeopardize your relationships with others if you in a fit of anger want to write everything that you think about them at that moment. Therefore, it is necessary not only to hide a notebook with confidential records, but the very fact of keeping a diary should not be advertised. Otherwise, nothing will prevent too curious brothers or sisters from keeping you under surveillance, and even older adults are seldom able to keep from looking into the secret corners of your soul. Try to protect yourself in advance from outside interference by writing at the very beginning of your diary an appeal to a possible "burglar". Something like this: "Before you read other people's secret thoughts, think about how you would feel if you were in his place." And if you are not afraid of publicity, but, on the contrary, want to convey your thoughts to as many readers as possible, it will be correct to write in an online diary. Such a service of maintaining personal blog diaries is widely represented on the Internet. There are similar opportunities in some social networks, and on special sites of the blogosphere. And you can not just create your own personal blog, but also design it beautifully with the help of ready-made templates, some of which are designed specifically for girls.
