I've been journaling on/off for the last 5 years but in the last 90 days I decided to take it seriously. So in this video I want to go through my experience and give my thoughts on why we should all start journaling and the benefits I've got from writing for the past 90 days. Enjoy :)

Journaling helped me in improving my productivity time
Somedays I think, overthink and daydream too much. If my brain can't seem to shut up, I journal for an hour and boom! I feel calm again
🥺🥺🥺🌼🌼🌼
Sounds like adhd/add. I have the same issue
Same!!! Even like 2 minutes of dumping my thoughts fixes everything!!!
@@TheSafarypearl Owh thanks for informing me.
@@simonvutov7575 Exactly!
"Rigidity is the ultimate killer of creativity,innovation and consistency" - Ali Abdal
NOTED.
That's true!
Part 4: this is the exact reason that so many people are afraid of bullet journaling. It's devolved into extravagant nonsense on social media. You're not journaling for other people. You're journaling for yourself.
Bullet journaling is first and foremost about functionality, but one would never know that from social media.
Part 5*
Thank you for the “lower the bar” tip! Definitely important for those who tend to wait for perfect conditions and result in order to start smg! 💥
Whoever is reading this…Keep going ,you’re doing fine! No matter how slow your progress, each new week is filled with tiny steps forward. Be proud of yourself.
Thank you for this! I'm sure someone needed to hear this.
I really needed to read this today.. Thank you so much..
Wow this comment really helped me today, thank you and you too!
Thank you so much I really needed to hear this today 🥺❤❤❤
Thank you so much ❤
I actually write on anything and anywhere, I find paper and I just write, my thoughts are every where, I look back at them like wow I wrote that during my training day at work or I was just waiting for my drink. Thoughts come to mind and I write it, it's like an itch - I have to write it so I can remember! My writing are nostalgic it's always remind of person, place or thing, similar to photographic memory! It's a beautiful healthy way to engage in life aspects, understanding and as well as myself!
Would love to read your work bro
Omg saame with me!! I've got soo many journals, copies and notes with my thoughts, to-dos and, small notes & reminders
Bagus sekali

I don‘t want to remember everything 😂
I always start by journaling with my Daily 321:
I write down 3 things I am grateful for, 3 things I like about myself, and 3 things I want. It’s a great way to ground my day.
I journal every night on my Samsung tablet. It's the best tool to process thoughts and reactions to any matter, situation, or people. When I go back and read it, I realize not all my opinions are justified or correct. Rather than be impulsive and jump to any conclusions. It helps me rely on myself rather than depend on the external world. It's building the habit of trusting my gut.......
What Journalling App are you using on your Samsung tablet ?
I sometimes find journaling gives me the same relief as venting 😅 It really helps rationalise my ideas as well as feelings I can’t otherwise articulate.
Journalling has really improved my overall mental health 🌷💗
Yes
mine also 😌
I don't know if it counts as journaling, but I write down 3 gratitudes every day. There is always something to be grateful for.
No that's a wonderful thing to do. You're right
You convinced me to try it in the first 90 seconds. Will watch rest of video, start journaling, report back. So many helpful videos from you, much appreciated!
Sameee broo
How’s it going?!
How is it going bro?
REPORT
I’ve been journaling for years now, i had no idea of the benefits it had, i’m glad i started. It does relieve stress.
"Rigidity is the ultimate killer of creativity". So true, nice one!👍
I don’t agree.
Creativity stems from pushing down barriers & walls. At least that’s how I see it.
Tell me what not to do, and I’ll be creative af to do “forbidden” stuff
Another excellent video Ali! It’s definitely therapeutic to be able to solidify your thoughts down on paper and be able to reflect on your day!
Reflecting more about where I've been and appreciating where I am now has always been something I needed to work on. Thanks for the tips!
aghhhhh. another great one. these tips are too tier & just what i needed to hear. i’m so excited right now
I failed to journal so many times. This encourages me to try again.
I love journaling, i journal every day in the mornings and sometimes even before bed 😊 it helps me concentrate and plan too, and release any anxiety that builds up
I love the calmness of your voice. I try to start every morning with one of your videos. Well done.
My problem with physical journaling is I dunno where to hide my journal books
So I just stick with the digital one
In pillow cover 😆
That is my exact problem as well….nosy people
We appreciate all of your wise words. Thank you for making this video, more power to you!
I'm unbelievably early. Thank you so much for posting Ali. Your videos are so helpful 💕
Ali, you are changing lives!
Thank you so much, Ali! I subscribed to your channel because it's unapologetically helping my life in no small way.
Thank you for inspiring me. I could not begin to write because I could not find the way which fit me. But this is exactly fit. I started from this morning, and feel very nice. I am difficult to understand English completely, but I will try to listen you again.
I've been journaling everynight for 22 days straight. My intent is to do it for 180 days. Instead of dates I count down from 180. I also only write 2-3 lines per entry summing up my day and things I am grateful for (e.g started on entry no. 180 now on no.160.) I also deleted all of my social media profiles. I have been really content with life these past few weeks.
Journaling has helped me to reduce procrastination. But I’ve been just doing it randomly, I will take it more seriously because honestly I’m able to point out what I’ve done in the day. Rather than just doing the day the way it comes.
Thank you Ali 😊. I’ve been thinking about starting journaling for some time and this has helped me start. Keep the great videos coming 👍
Fantastic video. Best I have watched about Journaling. I have half-azz tried to poke at Journaling for years. Now I’m excited to actually do it!
Thank you, Ali, for such lively, happy presentation. It helps when you you incourage your views to start simple, without overthinking.
Part IV/Tip 2! Huge. Thank you!
Thank you! I’ve fallen off journaling and want to get back to it. Love the advice that I can journal anytime of the day it doesn’t have to be in the morning. Also it doesn’t have to be 3 pages. I’m gonna include you in my journal entry for today! 😀👍
I always get heaps of value out of Ali's videos!
i do this for years, its like time traveling when you read your previous notes, but what i really like is i can optimize my storage memory in my head, its ok to forgot some moments just to free my mind in holding datas and infos.
Totally using Day One. Haven’t even heard of it! Thanks!
Wow what an excellent video Ali! It’s definitely therapeutic to be able to solidify your thoughts down on paper and be able to reflect on your day! I think its Great i started as soon as i started watching your VIDEO
This is th only channel I literally learned from it nd changed my minded so much , everytime i need an advice in something I found it here
Thanks for making this Ali, jumping back on day one app 🙌
Thanks for explaining your journal journey🙏🏼
i have seen one of your shorts and have to come back to your channel and get advise with journaling.
thanks for the tips. hope it sticks with me ;)
when you feel blank and have nothing to write, you can try writing about your day so far and your feelings during the different situations in your days events. I find this really helpful especially when trying to analyze yourself to be your honest self and increase your productivity.
thanks!
I'm watching you for your background interior design. And I really like when you walk around the room 😀
Fantastic! I Love Day One . I can’t believe you don’t use it’s best feature and that is being able to take entry from just audio. I use this daily on my commute into work while I’m driving by myself. Because I like to read the text as well I will use justpressrecord and then import into day one. Extra step yes but it removes all friction of typing if you are not able to when the mood strikes.
Great content man .
Journaling has helped me so much in my self-development journey.
I have been using Day One on my android phone, and it syncs across to my MacBook seamlessly! I love it!
thanks for all the information .. you really inspiring us . wish you all the best
There’s no video I’ve watched of yours where I’ve not learnt something that has helped me. I’m going to start morning pages tomorrow & download the journaling app.
Ali, you've just save my life....!! Tks for your much valuable videos!!
the things I learned from this video.
how writing your every day thoughts will improve your your life and your brain and help your way of thinking of things. for me it help me alot, back then where I didn't write anything my brain was so slow to the point where I need someone's help, and this is where I found ali he helped alot of things especially helping me discover The wonders Of Journaling. so thank you Ali for friking restoring my life
We're all waiting for your book Ali!
Absolutely loved this video. Going to start this today itself
Great content as always Ali thank you
"Lowering the bar" has to be the single, most transformational tip ever... one tip that has helped me grow so much...
A note I'm writing while watching this, is "12 months flies by FAST", and comparing and considering consistency routine etc. Organization has been a challenge with a fear of digital notes somehow disappearing. But just organizing by date has helped. Probably mentioning that as you seem extremely organized! Thank you!
Another very helpful video, you’re the best! Thank you ☺️
This is incredibly amazing. Thank you so much. ☺️
Awesome as always! 👏
Thanks for the tips! I used to journal and stopped. This inspired me to start again :)
So hyped for the book, honestly can't wait to read it!
Which book??
@@varitz_01 book of ali abdaal
I am gonna try again to do journalling...
Thanks for the video ❤️
I've been journaling for most of my life and have tried many different kinds. Leuchtturm 1917 journals are always my favorite. I love the ruled and dotted versions! Totally recommend.
Leuchtturm's journals bless my life with their existence
That's really true journalling is really very good from lot of perspective and I love doing it.
I started journalling on notion after you mentioned it years ago. So far so good :-)
Dear Ali, I am beginning my journal journey from today. I hope it will bring more clarity in my thoughts and make me more productive. Thank you 🙂.
How is your journaling going on ??
I completely agree that journaling clears the monkey mind. Just writing until the mind feels free then comes the thoughts of “what is most important to me?” Or others that help me clarify my direction.
Journaling is a great discipline. I had been following artist’s way by Julia Cameron. Love it.
Writing down thoughts soothes the mind
I love the green plants in the background.
I tried this app soon after watching this video. It's very user-friendly. Thanks for the recommendation! 💖
Great content like always! Thank you!
James Pennebaker, an American psychologist, has been researching the benefits of journaling since the 1980s. The benefits you're describing have been established (multiple studies with same results, not contested) for 30s years, its almost mind-boggling that people are still discovering journaling
I love the idea of finding the paper and writing utensil that work best for you. I absolutely need college ruled paper and a pen.
Been using The Heroes Journal, love it's template and its elements of fiction/fantasy
I always love to Journal, so downloaded the Day One App...Thanks!
I tried journaling its help to sort out my thoughts, dump my feelings...I feel better later on!
It has always been on the back of my mind to try It and has got stronger in the last momth .. maybe this is the push i need 🤞🔥
My method is a physical journal. I am able to ink my thoughts so well. And It works so well
Every day with great advices 👍
I love your channel, thank you so much for sharing such amazing content and creative ideas. Keep up the great work
love the intro!!
Love Morning Brew! 👍🏻❤️
