Dear diary ... Diary writing is back - it's just called something else
11.4.2023
Translation: machine translated
Diary writing is experiencing a renaissance. It's called journaling and is designed to help you find yourself.
My grandma Inge has been keeping a diary for decades. She usually uses these red and black diaries in A4 format. She writes down who has called, what's for lunch and how she feels. A daily log on paper.
I used to do the same thing as a child. My diary was pink and had a very small padlock. Today there are even books with combination locks.

However, I didn't write any meaningful memoirs. It was more entries like: 'My friend Mimi is coming round today. We're playing with our My little ponies. Or: Mum is making spaghetti with tomato sauce today. Then Grandma called. So it wasn't that exciting and I didn't follow it up like my grandma did.
Journaling, the new diary writing
However, I've been coming across the term journaling more and more often online and on social media recently. The word is derived from the English "journal" and means diary. It just sounds hipper. And the content of diary writing 2.0 has changed somewhat compared to what I used to scribble in my little book and what my grandma still writes today.
Five minutes for your mindset
In the 1960s, the American psychotherapist Ira Progroff used the method of intensive journaling as a therapeutic method. There are now various types of journaling. One is 5-minute journaling. You take a few minutes just for yourself and listen to yourself. Then ask yourself these five questions, for example:
- What am I grateful for?
- What made me happy today?
- What have I learnt?
- What can I improve on?
- What is good for me?
And there you have it, 5-minute journaling. This should help you to manage stress in your everyday life, get to know yourself (even) better and help you to be more mindful of yourself. Keyword: self-care.
Give it a try, you can also find beautiful books for your future journaling in our shop.
Would you like to look inward and take care of your mental health more often than just once a day? The 6-minute diary will help you do this. Here, the questions are already prescribed and divided into morning and evening, so you can invest three minutes twice a day in yourself and your mental health.
