Journaling is basically the act of recording your thoughts and feelings by jotting them down on a daily basis. This art has been around for hundreds of years now, and has been used by most people as a means to relieve stress and express themselves.

One of the most popular journals is that one by Samuel Pepys, a naval administrator in the 1600s who made it a point to write down what happened in his lifetime”from his personal feelings, to important events that not only affected him, but affected the world, as well. These events include the Anglo-Dutch War, the Restoration of the English Monarchy, and even the Great Fire and the Great Plague of London. Now, a library in Cambridge is named after him.
