  • Writing in your own journal or diary offers many benefits. While some people choose to keep their journals private, others may find sharing their thoughts in an online, public journal to be a beneficial form of self-expression.

    Effects

    Keeping a private journal may help you to gather your thoughts. People often feel a great sense of relief after getting their many thoughts, fears and joys down on paper.

    Types

    Online journals such as LiveJournal, Penzu and Blogger can be either a private journal, an open blog or a discussion forum to be shared with the public or with several people whom you've hand-selected.

    Considerations

    Remember that public, online journals are most beneficial for those trying to advocate their views and feelings to the world on a particular subject. These may be viewed by almost anyone, including family members and potential employers.

    Fun Fact

    Some writers keep journals for historical reasons. By keeping a journal now, you will be able to look back five, 10 or 15 years from now and remember exactly what you were doing--and thinking--on any given day.

    Warning

    Although there are benefits to keeping a journal, if you wish to keep your feelings private, be sure to stash it in a safe place.
