A breakup diary can come in many forms, either being a journal, scrapbook or a memoir – choose the best that can help you to survive your breakup.
A Diary
When you write in bad or stressful moments, you will usually end up feeling better. Writing out what you most probably would keep to yourself will help you to vent out your anger, grievance, unhappiness, etc.
You will gain more control of your life. At night before sleeping, write down what had happened in the day or any events in your life. This enables you to reflect back, on what you have done, and allows you to correct your mistakes if you have any.
Benefits
It clears your mind. You put your creativity into writing about your life events. Things such as word choice, the format ie. poems, dialog, plain text, etc. Or you could use drawings rather than writing. These actions allow your thoughts to be on creative ideas, rather than putting yourself in pain and stress. It improves your mental health. Write about your stressful moments or emotional events. Therefore, having a breakup diary would help in healing and recovery from a bad breakup.
Make it a Habit
You should consider the daily entries to be included in your breakup diary format. Try to develop a habit of writing daily. However, it is okay if you miss out any day – just move on with your current day’s events. Do remember to keep this diary personal and private, so that you can release your thoughts freely.
