I'm not too worried about people finding out what is in my notebook, but I rarely let it far out of my sight. There have been times when I've let a very close friend know some of its contents. It just depends on what I've been writing and who it is.

"To dwell in the here and the now does not mean you never think about the past or responsibility, plan for the future. The idea is simply not to allow yourself to get lost in regrets about past or worries about the past or worries about the future. If you are firmly in the present moment, the past can be an object of inquiry, the object of your mindfulness by looking into the past, but you are still grounded in the present moment"
