Did you know that keeping a journal or diary can reduce stress, help you set goals and organize yourself, help you focus on finding solutions to problems, improve well-being and, of course, it makes a fascinating archive? What is a diary? For most people a journal or diary is somewhere that they write their thoughts or feelings, but others create their journal like a scrapbook, by drawing or painting or recording themselves on tape, MP3 or video. Just choose a medium you like. It doesn’t matter how much or how little material you record. If you want to, just record your progress through any particular area of your life, like menopause, or your career. Why a menopause diary? What we are suggesting is that if you don’t already keep a journal, you start one now for these reasons: 1 To keep track of your progress in whatever you are doing. 2 To give you a really clear idea about what your menopausal symptoms are, to explore what the menopause means to you, what has been good for you in it and what has been difficult. 3 To start to focus on what you would like to change about your menopause and about your life.key to unlock menopause, menopause diary, menopause journal, writing it down, keeping a diary,
