Keeping a diary or journal allows you to express your feelings and thoughts in written form. Writing down your experiences or expressing your feelings is a way to organize your thoughts, relieve stress, and provide a tool for better understanding yourself. Your writing doesn’t have to be perfect, and you don’t have to practice handwriting. Simply writing down your feelings is enough.

Your favorite music can truly heal your soul. When you have some free time to yourself, you can create a playlist to listen to while you close your eyes and relax.
