Dear Diary Letter: 5 Letters to Write to Yourself This Year
We’ve all written a Dear Diary type of Letter to a loved one when we were kids.
Whether it was an angry letter to Mom—letting her know that we weren’t talking to her—or to our favorite teacher, we’ve had our fair share of writing letters to other people.
But have you ever written a letter to your present, past, or future self?
It may seem silly, but writing a letter to yourself is a great opportunity to identify your weaknesses and turn them into strengths.
This is a video summary of this article:
5 Types Of Letters You Should Write To Yourself
1. A Dear Diary Letter Addressing Your Flaws
We all have flaws. There isn’t a single person in the world who isn’t flawed, no matter how perfect they seem.
There is nothing wrong with identifying your weaknesses and writing about them. In fact, it will give you insight into areas you need to improve. Write a letter to yourself talking about your flaws and why you think you developed them.
Conclude it by coming up with different solutions that could help you overcome your weaknesses.
2. Write a Letter Reminding You of Your Worth
We are our own worst critics. When something goes wrong, it’s easy to blame ourselves. We feel responsible. We feel guilty.
But remember, some things aren’t in our control; just because you made a mistake doesn’t mean you’re not good enough. It doesn’t define your worth.
What’s important is learning from our mistakes.
Write a letter to yourself that reminds you of the fact that you’re capable of being loved. Remind yourself that you have what it takes to conquer the world.

3. Write a Dear Diary Letter Regarding Your Goals
It’s important to not lose focus of your life’s ambitions.
This letter will remind you of why you’ve been working so hard. It will give you the strength to carry on when you feel like throwing in the towel.
You can use it to prioritize your goals as well. Which goal do you want to work toward achieving first and which one should be left for last?
4. Give Yourself a Pep Talk
You are so much more than you know. You are more capable than you believe. You have what it takes to achieve your goals.
Write a letter to yourself that serves as a pep talk. Encourage yourself to do your best, and work on any projects you’ve been delaying. Remember, motivation comes from within.
5. Ask Yourself What Lessons You’ve Learned
Write a letter to yourself asking what you’ve learned so far in life. This will help you figure out how much you’ve grown and what you need to work on.
Think about how you’ve grown personally and professionally. What do you like about yourself? What do you want to improve? What kind of person were you five years ago?
Think of everything you’ve done so far and after writing the letter, give yourself a pat on the shoulder.
These are five dear diary letters I believe everyone should write to themselves. Start writing one today in a beautiful journal or notebook…

About Me and Let's Connect!
My name is I-Ping Yeo but I write in my alter ego Ashley Yeo cos when I first started online, I was too shy to be me. Silly! Now that my whole website and brand is built on Ashley Yeo, I am gonna stick with it (cos I am too lazy to change it and too much money has been spent on Ashley Yeo) and spread some sweet cheer!
I am a previously jaded ex-lawyer and now positively charged mompreneur who founded AshleyYeo.com. Ashley Yeo is a “fictional” character who is very different from me in personality. I am formal and boring while Ashley Yeo attempts to live a bit more dangerously but within acceptable boundaries.
I produce and publish content under my brand Ashley Yeo. I produce content mainly about homeschooling, education, digital and online learning, self-care, gratitude, ikigai (Japanese term for “reason to be”), infectious happiness strategies, passion, positivity, planning, and productivity for moms. And I also share boss girl e-commerce strategies I am testing, and resources I am using, on my own small boss girl indie business.
I conjure seriously juicy journals, notebooks, planners, coloring stuff, printables, and pretty kawaii products out of love, peaches, and cream.
I am the author and publisher of the "Big Grateful Heart: 52 Week Gratitude Journal". This is one of my best-selling gratitude journals, and it was a number 1 new release on Amazon as well as on several of Amazon's Top 100 bestseller lists.
I especially love to produce premium printables complementary to your homeschool curriculum, and for your family's positivity and self-care.

For some, it's the ice cream, but for others, it could have been a day-off from household chores, a trip to grandma, or a few of your favorite candies (or toys). The more effort to complete the task, such as getting good grades, the better the reward would be, such as a bicycle. It’s a simple drill; do something and you…
