Write what you can't post on note in a paper notebook

There are things you want to write on note, right?

But there must also be things you feel you can't write.

I have decided not to write on note any words that might hurt someone, or any writing where my anger or sadness comes out exactly as it is.

For example, when I have a fight with my husband.
Dark emotions swirl inside me, like 'I don't care anymore!' or 'I hope you stub your little toe on the corner of the dresser 100 times!'

There is no way I can write this on note.

But it's hard to just swallow these feelings.
So, I write everything in a paper notebook.

As I write, my feelings start to get organized.

I become able to think calmly, like 'Maybe I said too much' or 'What was I really looking for?'

Even though I was full of anger before writing, by the time I finish, I find myself thinking, 'Well, I guess it's fine.'

Why a paper notebook?

Of course, there are ways to type it into smartphone memos or a PC.

But I overwhelmingly recommend a paper notebook.

The reason is simple.
When you write on paper, it stays in your memory.

For example, daily tasks like 'do the laundry' or 'buy bananas'.

Don't you ever forget things even though you wrote them in your smartphone memo?

But when you write on paper, it strangely stays in your head.

By 'crossing out' what you wrote, you get a real sense of having completed the task.I think emotions are the same.


The frustration of the moment you write it down fades just by recording it.

When you look back at it later, you can objectively reflect, thinking, 'I was worried about things like this' or 'I was thinking like this.'

Write what you can't write on note in a notebook

It is difficult to reveal your true feelings in a place seen by everyone.

That is why I write what I can't write on note in a paper notebook.

note is a 'place to share'.

A paper notebook is a 'place to face yourself'.

By using them differently like that, you can organize your inner thoughts.

If you aren't using a paper notebook yet, please give it a try.

You will surely be able to experience the 'power of writing' that you don't get with smartphones or PCs.
