Perks of maintaining a dairy I have this old-school habit of maintaining dairy/journal. I keep writing whatever I feel, or expressing my feeling! Expressing my feelings in this diary is like therapy for me.  I share a bond with the diary. I see huge benefits in doing this activity like-   Handwriting improvement. Creative writing skill enhancement. Improvement in memory and recall.  Recap the past - Past joyful incidences rejuvenate me. And instead of going to a low while reading the not-so-happy notes, I try to have a sense of gratitude that I've come out of that down time.   Stay organized-  The diary is my best reference book. Reduces stress- There are some times when I go through a lot of stress, and I cannot or do not know with whom I can express those feelings. At that time, writing down in my diary helps me! Writing works as a channel to release stress. It is a good therapy.  Writing my diary is nothing less than a perk!!
