One way to start is to describe the setting around you. If you're sitting in your room, note the colors, the smell, and the sounds. You could write, 'I'm sitting in my cozy room. The walls are painted a soft blue. There's a faint smell of the lavender candle I lit earlier. The ticking of the clock on the wall is the only sound I can hear, and it makes me feel calm. And now, I'm ready to tell the story of my day.'
Begin by thinking about the most interesting or impactful event of your day. Maybe it was a conversation with a friend. Recall the details like what they said, how they looked, and your reaction. Then write it down. For instance, 'I had a chat with Tom today. He told me about his new puppy and his eyes were shining with joy. I felt so happy for him.'
To start writing your own stories in your diary, just begin with what's on your mind at that moment. It could be something as simple as how you felt when you woke up this morning. For example, 'I woke up feeling groggy today. The sun was already too bright through my window.'
