Thank you so much for the upload, I am a 50 year old lady from outback remote Australia; Alice Springs, watching this on a wintery desert night and I really appreciate your video I will staple all my favourite restaurant recipes and boarding passes to my moleskin journal. Loved it from start to finish. 👏🏼🎫✈️🫖🍽🥰👍🏼
When I was younger, I’d buy blank notebooks (blank as in no lines or grid) and I would fill them so easily. Then grid/dot notebooks became popular and I’d only buy them - but my creativity struggles with those. Something about the lines feels confining. Your video inspired me to pick up another blank notebook and see what happens :) thank you!
People should watch videos like this before starting planners/journals. Honestly whenever i see someone who is saying “Journaling(including bullet journal) is difficult to start and maintain”, i wanted to shout out to the world that they want to make it pretty and thats why it’s impossible to keep doing it. Anyway happy new year everyone! I hope your journals are filled with nice memories this year.
Please explain 2 me how wanting a journal 2 pretty is wrong or something 2 be criticized 4.. Whatever ones approach is deeply personal. We all have different paths. That said this sounds like 'journal shaming' 2 me. Putting one down 4 the immense level of effort and time it takes 2 create a personalized journal. I've watched and learned from dozens of videos from boho berry and so many others. They didn't just make one journal with 2 months of entries only 2 give up on month three. They have been making and creating 4 years. They r transparent about mistakes AND pages not used. Collections that just didn't work out. Sharing what pens and markers did and didn't work on specific journals. Grids versus blank pages. The list of positives is endless. In closing I vehemently disagree with your assigning hardworking artisans in the bullet journal community as 'imposters'. Imposters HOW?
@@robyndismon394 I agree with positive sides that you mentioned. It would be helpful to share thoughts about collections that didn't work out or which pen is better to use. thanks for remind me these. And I don't think bullet journal artisans are impostors. As you said, we have all different ways to express ourselves and daily life. I totally agree with that. Looking back the day I wrote the comment, I'd seen people who gave up or didn't even want to try bullet journal because of all the perfectly decorated journals on the internet. But decoration and design don't work out for everyone. I thought they might've been satisfied with bullet journal if they hadn't focused on decorations. Bullet journal and its community has helped me dealing with many problems. I think I wanted people to experience the same, not giving up. and then somehow I happened to write the comment in a kind of assertive way. I'm sorry.
You are so right. Make your journal your own. I like how you described “imposter syndrome.” I do get overwhelmed seeing all the perfect spreads, but I look to them for inspiration. But some days, I have no words....just paint, collage, and scribbles. I connected to a lot of what you said. THANK YOU 😊 P.S. I’m in the Bay Area too! Hoping to go to PlannerCon next year!
lewislisa lewislisa Well she didn’t show all of her pages, so I’m assuming she writes more on pages she didn’t show in the video. Probably because she wants to keep the pages with a lot of writing mostly private. That’s my guess anyway.
Three years ago, I bought the Moleskine Expanded. Watching your videos today, I was finally inspired to take the plunge, and begin my own creative journal. Thank you for inspiring me to be OK with whatever I put on my pages, ephemera from my life, my thoughts… I dedicated this first creative journal to you. Thank you again for inspiring me to freedom. You showed me that the key to my creative journal has been inside me all along.
This is such an important message for the journal/planning community. Chill out and let it flow naturally. Even the way you move your hands conveys this idea too 🥰
I love what you said about handwriting! I can definitely tell a difference of my emotions compared to how I am feeling a particular day! I also just ordered a moleskine expanded softcover - I have always loved the soft cover journals from them so much and excited to use mine in 2023!
Michelle this is the most crative journal I've seen for a long time! It has the ability to create in us the many ways to journal I have not thought of. Thank you so much. BLESSINGS!
I love this approach to journaling and have been moving in a similar direction with my own notebooks - esp my travel journals! Trying to be more loose and organic with it so I don’t have to overthink things or be burdened by the process. Above all else I think I want my journals to be a catch-all reflection of my day-to-day life and not so compartmentalised. Sometimes life (and our thoughts) are just plain messy! Appreciated the insights into your thought process and journaling philosophy. Thanks as always for sharing, Michelle 💕
This is the content I’ve been looking for. I want to start a daily journaling practice in 2020 and don’t want it to be a solid text book, but I also know I won’t always have the time or inspiration to create beautiful art so I love this free flowing approach to journaling Thanks for sharing!
Your videos inspire me to just do it. Don’t worry about it being perfect. There’s nothing more satisfying than a beat up, overflowing journal because it means you achieved something
I got my first lechturrum? Journal! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!! I added some wellness tools I came up with in the first two pages! Thanks for encouraging me to just go for it and have fun! I am so happy I purchased the L. I won’t ever be able to part with it! Hugs!
Yo, this is exactly what I like to do. Whatever you like! No planning or rules.....just whatever. Love your ideas and book. Unique and awesome! Thanks for sharing!
So true that whatever goes, goes. I have done all types of journals, but my fav is the one that incorporates everything. Love the freedom you have. Gorgeous journal!!!!!
Finally someone without overacting, someone figuring out what's more suitable for him /her , i just started recently mine is more similar to your old day , thank you for everything
I just found this video. Thank you so much for stressing to just be you. Don't try to follow what others do on social media. Just journal true to your own journaling style. Great video.
Haha I’m loving the caution before “this is my life” 😂 All my journals start with a pretty detailed disclaimer. I like to prepare whoever ends up reading it. It’s important to me that they know what they are getting themselves into. Lol.
Aww, omg! You are so kind, Sarah! Thank you so much for the encouraging words and for your wonderful support throughout these months. I really appreciate you!!
Watching your video was liberating!!! I just started a pocket Exceed notebook and I've never this inspired EVER. I keep a planner of sorts plus journal plus commonplace book. Hearing how you talked about the spreads just really resonated with me. Thank you for sharing!
I appreciate this video soooo much! Anytime I feel like Peppers you are taking this wayyyyyy to serious I think about this video. Journaling is something to enjoy and not regret. Rules, perfection and pressure to look a particular way HAVE TO GO AND STAY GONE!!!! ❤️✅
Thank you so much. I got into a rage one day and threw out all my childhood journals :( I regret it to this day. I'm starting over again (I'm almost 40). I got this journal that I love. My cousin, he gave me a gift card to Target, and I found this journal. I'm more of a diary person, I keep track of my day. I could be more creative though.
I found this video (May, 2021) when I was starting to get into (junk) journaling. I'm so thankful that I did because your take on journalling includes some things I'm really into (like stationary items) and I had yet realized how many items I already owned that would be so representative of me. Thank you so much for the encouragement to be ourselves and for the suggestions on different types of pages. (I also appreciate the reminder that not every page needs to be "full".) 😊
This is the best, most motivating vid to start journaling with. So kind and calm. No pressure to be fancy or have a ton of stationary lying around. Thank you 😊
Wow! I love how real and raw this video is. It's inspired me to started journaling. I just purchased the journal you recommended and I'm really excited for it to get here!
I do have a moleskine expanded and it’s where I like to journal feelings and write poems or quotes or experiment with drawing things. I guess you could say it’s my creative journal. I do planners but not in great detail.,, embellish the pages just enough to keep it fun for me to look at and the creative touches make it seem like mine. I really enjoy your videos and ideas and how you encourage individuality. 😀
This is exactly how I think about my bullet journal. I always felt like most bujo vids were so beautiful and I couldn't do it but this video feels different.
I’m both a planner and a journaler. Like you, I don’t use any fancy stuffs for planning (except for some post it notes and highlighters) because they distract me. I like my planner to be functional :D
As a Parsons School of Design alumni I do have 2 say that 4 me aesthetics is everything and my journal reflects that. But I respect your journey our paths r markedly different.
I love your journal and I find so many similarities to the one I own. I always felt kind of bad about not doing the whole bullet journal thing and having everything all over the place, but seeing your journal- with both beautiful and messy spreads makes me feel a lot better.
Amazing vid. I have just started journaling and you have given me so much inspiration. I love your journal and I love your voice. Very nice vid to watch. Love and peace from Wales x
Wow, you have really set me free from the paralysis I have in starting a journal! For years I have wanted to do this but I don't draw or paint and and I just never knew what to do in a journal! I don't really want to write my thoughts and feelings in the journal either. I write songs for that and that is very satisfying. But I love the idea of doing something in a book that I can hold in my hand. I just bought a moleskine expanded dotted and I was going to use it as a planner/bullet journal but in the past when I tried this I had a hard time with it and I realized that for me making planner layouts week after week would grow tiresome and feel like a chore. I prefer planners that are already dated and so I ended up buying a dated planner for 2021. But now I have this beautiful expanded Moleskine and I have no idea what to do with it. Your video helped so much!! Thank you for sharing your journal with us!
Thanks for sharing! I really like your approach. I feel the need to have topics sectioned off a bit, but I love the idea. I tried keeping all my subjects in inserts a traveller's notebook, but that didn't work for me. I'm in a number of A5 notebooks: 1) A business journal/planner 2) Main journal that I write in when something comes up that I want to write about. I don't write in it too often. I'm learning to be okay with that. 3) ! "write it out" journal for when I get stuck and I just need to work through something. I keep this journal separate from my main journal because it has things that I don't need to reflect back on, and don't want to save for the long term. 4) I've also got a gratitude journal, and I'd like to start using that daily again. 5) I do art or art related activities everyday. Sometimes that takes the form of planning, or 6) working in a larger art journal.
yes, the handwriting thin is so true! my handwriting is much smaller when I'm calm and collected, and my handwriting is very loose and messy if I have a lot on my mind or I'm excited, and it gets really big and spaced out when I'm angry or upset!
Chunky boi. I have all kinds of brands but use a kind i found in a bazaar in Istanbul. I bought ten of them and i am happy I did. Will use a personalized Leichturm soon though. For change. But then right back to the Istanbul kind.
Moleskine expanded? I must have one! 😃 I use a couple of them for work, the gym and I use those little cashier books for junk journals but I love this big chunky one! Great video and thank you for sharing your creative thoughts with us.
Hi thank you for sharing, and giving us no rules it's so good to do what you want on paper, I've just started I never thought there was anything like this around as I've been to busy with bringing up a family but now have time for myself 😝
so happy and grateful to find you here... I was wondering your feeling about this type of paper becasue I use watercolor . Thank you for your answer or anyone else who has tried it !
Really inspiring video talking a lot of good sense - it's so clear how important this process is and it reminds me what the whole point of journalling is for me too. Thanks!
I love this so much. Thank you so much. I do the same thing and love it. Never used a moleskin. I am a planner and journal kind of girl. I scripture write as well.
11:38 wow... thanks, thank you I hadn't thought of expressing something with a sketch, but it's helpful because I started a journal a month ago but I just used it two days, because there really are days I don't want to write down how I feel, but to sketch it feels gentler somehow, it won't be so hard to look at later.
1:10 on 🙌🏽 i know i’m late but i’m currently looking for inspiration so i can truly start to take my journaling seriously this year. i always found myself putting off journaling because of it feeling like a task and more, but what you’ve said truly reminded me that your journal is your book. and how you write or draw out the chapters of your life in YOUR book should be however you choose. i had to stop already and subscribe because that right there hit deep for me. thank you for making this video and your journal is absolutely beautiful
Aww! Wow, thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words! I'm so happy to hear that this video resonates with you. Yes, it's your journal so feel free to create your way! When you let go of outside pressure, your natural creative flow will flourish! Thanks so much for watching!
I;ve been trying to expnand my creativity in my Happy Planner. I have been drawing by looking up stick figures of whatever i'm doing that day. It's SO much more than I used to do! I also finally figured out how to save all the ticket stubs & beach parking passes I had been collecting for years :) This was such a good video, thank you!!!
I have such a creative block when it comes to expressing my inner thoughts, Journaling, bujo-ing. Idk. I'm very hard on myself. I have a very negative inner self talk. I have always loved Journaling and planning with planners. I find it funny. The community of BuJo and Journaling -- I see it coming from schooling days. I remember when in school (middle school and high school) in English class we were required to have what they called a "Writers Notebook" and it was usually always a Composition Notebook. The teacher would have us decorate the cover and we were required to write an entry and journal every day. I have such vivid memories from that time in my life. I always loved the creativity it gave me. But as I got older, I found it harder and harder to have a journal and write my thoughts...I'm too much in my head, too much of a perfectionist, I overthink so much and I'm so hard on myself that I've found it makes it so hard for me to journal. I want to get back into Journaling and I want to start a BuJo so badly. But I'm struggling on getting started, not feeling intimated and it working for me.
very inspiring, thanks for your great ideas! I just got my first Traveler's Notebook, a knock-off from a company called Sovereign on Amazon - its delicious, and I'm a bit intimidated to really start, so love your videos!

Oh, that's awesome! Hello my California neighbor!! 👋👋
Very helpful to see journaling isnot all writing and “pretty art”.
Is it writing really at all?
lewislisa lewislisa Well she didn’t show all of her pages, so I’m assuming she writes more on pages she didn’t show in the video. Probably because she wants to keep the pages with a lot of writing mostly private. That’s my guess anyway.
I personally like a very neat journal full of cute cartoons and hardly any writing
honestly I hate the videos that make it seem that way😂
@@sydney8897 Why do you hate them? Every journal is deeply personal.
I love how unconstrained this is. A true expression of creative liberation.

This reminds me of "wreck this journal" in all the best ways - so cool
As a starter best inspirational video ive seen!

this has encouraged me to finally start journaling !! ughh thank youuu
That's my first time to watch your videos and i really love you and i feel like you really good person and so kind ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I recently got myself a half blank page half ruled page moleskine a5 journal for when I'm out and about, I sketch something and write, it's fun!
yes, the handwriting thin is so true! my handwriting is much smaller when I'm calm and collected, and my handwriting is very loose and messy if I have a lot on my mind or I'm excited, and it gets really big and spaced out when I'm angry or upset!
Chunky boi. I have all kinds of brands but use a kind i found in a bazaar in Istanbul. I bought ten of them and i am happy I did. Will use a personalized Leichturm soon though. For change. But then right back to the Istanbul kind.
Enjoyed your flip through. Really loved the marking of incomplete pages.

I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment! Thank you.
I just started journaling this month. I hadnt done it before. I never used school planners. I'm starting simple so it's not overwhelming
really love this! thank you. i also like your voice, very soothing
I just found your channel .I love your ideals .thank you
This is so creative and really inspires me,I've always wanted to journal but have struggled with my creativity but these ideas I would definitely try!

Wow, your style reminds me of how I keep a Commonplace Book and I love it!
Loved this video! Definitely agree with you about the changes in handwriting. May need to try the moleskin journal next!
Really inspiring video talking a lot of good sense - it's so clear how important this process is and it reminds me what the whole point of journalling is for me too. Thanks!
Journaling? Scrapbooking ….
Not for me as a man, but I’m open and interested in how others journal!
All the best!
Really cool...i am no artist but i loved what you put together...
Super creative and neat to look at and enjoy!!
Thank you and this is very enteristing and helpful

How fitting! I am going to korea soon as well so i think ill plan out places i wanna go to 😊 thanks for the great ideas!!!!❤️
I can't help notice your bracelets. Are those gem stones. So pretty.
I really like the red sticker on the front.
When I finally found my way and style, I was able to stick to it, look forward to it, and be a little more productive.
The mood of the day page is so beautiful
Why thank you!! :)
1:10 on 🙌🏽 i know i’m late but i’m currently looking for inspiration so i can truly start to take my journaling seriously this year. i always found myself putting off journaling because of it feeling like a task and more, but what you’ve said truly reminded me that your journal is your book. and how you write or draw out the chapters of your life in YOUR book should be however you choose. i had to stop already and subscribe because that right there hit deep for me. thank you for making this video and your journal is absolutely beautiful
Aww! Wow, thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words! I'm so happy to hear that this video resonates with you. Yes, it's your journal so feel free to create your way! When you let go of outside pressure, your natural creative flow will flourish! Thanks so much for watching!

I’m a journaler who sometimes plans.
I loved your flip through 💕 Thanks for sharing!
I was thinking of just making a journal of collagas of all the shows and games I like, with quotes that really mean a lot to me
You are special. I love your videos… ❤
Thank you show us your journal. That's so inspirational and I jealous of them.
Thanks for sharing- so inspiring :)
Thank you for all of the ideas. I have ideas thatbi want ti be a "journaller", but i never know what to do!
So exciting. I love your journal
This was a video I didn’t know I needed. I’ve been trying to journal more for around 2 years now, but was reluctant because it wasn’t “pretty”
LOVE your video!!!
I;ve been trying to expnand my creativity in my Happy Planner. I have been drawing by looking up stick figures of whatever i'm doing that day. It's SO much more than I used to do!
I also finally figured out how to save all the ticket stubs & beach parking passes I had been collecting for years :)
This was such a good video, thank you!!!
Wow!! I havent used moleskine in years
Michelle. I love your video's. But the reason I subbed is your beautiful voice hahahaha im almost falling asleep here
I have such a creative block when it comes to expressing my inner thoughts, Journaling, bujo-ing. Idk. I'm very hard on myself. I have a very negative inner self talk.
I have always loved Journaling and planning with planners. I find it funny. The community of BuJo and Journaling -- I see it coming from schooling days.
I remember when in school (middle school and high school) in English class we were required to have what they called a "Writers Notebook" and it was usually always a Composition Notebook. The teacher would have us decorate the cover and we were required to write an entry and journal every day. I have such vivid memories from that time in my life. I always loved the creativity it gave me.
But as I got older, I found it harder and harder to have a journal and write my thoughts...I'm too much in my head, too much of a perfectionist, I overthink so much and I'm so hard on myself that I've found it makes it so hard for me to journal.
I want to get back into Journaling and I want to start a BuJo so badly. But I'm struggling on getting started, not feeling intimated and it working for me.
just bought the 2022-23 Daily Planner and I am looking for inspiration :)
So inspired... Thank you❤
Love your creativity. I’m starting to journal myself. It’s a fun experience. Thank you for sharing yours ❤️
Thank you so much for watching! And happy to hear that you're having fun with your journaling process as well!
Thank you so much for this, I really needed to see and hear this.
very inspiring, thanks for your great ideas! I just got my first Traveler's Notebook, a knock-off from a company called Sovereign on Amazon - its delicious, and I'm a bit intimidated to really start, so love your videos!
너무 예뻐요♡ 잘 보고 갑니닷♡
