Transform a Notebook into Your Emotional Anchor

Transform a Notebook into Your Emotional Anchor

from The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank

How to Apply This

  1. Start writing to an imaginary friend. Open your notebook and, instead of listing facts or events, address your words to a confidant—give them a name. Let yourself explain your feelings, not just your actions.

  2. Reflect on one tough feeling each day. When you notice frustration, loneliness, or confusion, dedicate a paragraph to exploring it in detail. What brought it up? Is it persistent? Let your writing be honest, even if negative.

  3. Look back weekly and notice patterns. Every seven days, re-read your entries. Do you see any moods repeating? Are certain worries fading or growing? Make a note of changes and any unexpected comforts you found in the process.
