Hahah omgness Molly yesss those videos would get to me so bad lol... especially because it causes so many people to feel intimidated and stay away from a practice that can actually be really helpful! So glad I could help though girl!!! ♥️🤩🤩 Let me know if there’s any other way I can help you get started! 😄♥️🤩
Hahahah I hear you Gaby!!! 😆 My sister literally has to guard my eyes whenever we pass the journaling aisle in Target lolll. 😂 But now it's just time to put that stationary to good use! 😄😄❤️
My reason why to journal 1) want to be organised 2) want to have a pretty notebook to carry around 3) heard somewhere genuise + successful people carry it around with them 😚 4) But most importantly so that I can store my memories and look at them fondly when I am older.
The biggest mistake I made in my spiritual journey was NOT taking journaling seriously. Keeping a journal is essential to our personal and spiritual growth. Thanks for the reminder.
*I've started two journals, one that I fill with random thoughts that I get when my depression and anxiety take over. The second I started for my little brother who's 10. I've raised him since the day he was born when my mom was diagnosed with cancer. He's my world and I don't want kids because to me he's my one and only baby, so I've been filling that book with fun moments with him, how I felt when he was born, ect. I plan on giving it to him when he's 18 or 21. That way I have more moments to put in♥️*
I know it has been 2 years since you left this comment but I was touched by it: I have diagnosed moderate depression episode and ADHD, I also deal with anxiety often and to hear how you still manage to keep your little brother in a life surrounded by love despite it all it really hit home, my big sister has been a second mother ever since I got diagnosed, closer than ever to my needs and I am so grateful, I am sure that your brother is grateful as well. Thank you for sharing!
This is really the most wholesome thing I love it. He’s 100% going to be so appreciative when he’s older. You’re genuinely the best caregiver/older sister he could’ve gotten. This is from 3 years ago but I really had to comment cuz this hit ❤
Yesssss Mavia!!! That is something that I had to tell myself as well!! You see so many going it so you feel like there’s got to be a “right” way but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. The way that helps you most IS the right way!!! 🤩🤩🤩🙌🏾😍
your voice, your aesthetic is EVERYTHING. I literally watched 2 seconds of this video and immediately connected with your energy.... NEW SUBSCRIBER HERE!
Ooooo venting!!! Yesss!!! I use my journal for that all the time too! ☺️☺️ do you find your head a bit clearer or your negative emotions a little less once you finish?
Maybe I would do well to vent more onto paper and less out of my mouth hahahaha!! Might reduce some of my own self-caused drama that way. Good suggestion.
Hahaha yesss girl!! ☺️☺️ I can’t express how many times I write something down and then go back to it and am like thank you LORD I didn’t say this out loud! Lol... it helps girl, it helps. ☺️
Awwww my Fernanda!!!! That is so sweet of you!! 😍😍🥲🥲🤗 I am so happy that you enjoyed!!! Means the world ♥️ I appreciate you my friend and am SOOOO happy to have you here!
I've been journaling since I was 13 (I'm 23) but recently I've developed such an anxiety about it. I think I've lost the 'why' beyond having a negative vent - it worked so much better when I was focused on my own growth. Thank you for these tips!
Aahhh Amber! I can completely relate… I started getting anxiety later on in my journaling experience as well. I think it was for a few reasons - one of them, oddly enough was because I would often go back and reread my journal entries, when I wrote them I would overthink and wouldn’t let it just come out freely. What helped was me stopping that for a while to bring back my love for just WRITING and being open with my thoughts. So maybe something you can try is to not only journal when you need to vent about something but also journal when something really good happens as well, OR even when it’s just a “regular” day. All of that - the good, bad and simply okay days are key to your personal growth and life journey so they are all worth documenting. And my thoughts are that once you get more familiar with journaling other than venting you’ll know how to get out of it quicker and discover the “why” you speak of when you do have something to vent about. 🥰♥️♥️♥️ I hope that helps Amber!!! But know I’m so rooting for you! Keep journaling friend!!! 😍😍😍🥰♥️
Finally! I've been looking for a few how to's on starting journalling. I've tried so many times to start a journal. Both physicaland electronic. I couldn't figure out why it got so difficult to continue going after awhile. I had so much anxiety about doing it the right way. All the other "tutorials" I found were just talking about glitter pens and stickers, more collage journals than written journals. Glad I found this one, I think it'll help.
I'm so glad you found this video, friend! I know that feeling of wanting to journal but feeling overwhelmed with where to start. 🥰💕 but there is definitely no “right” way! You’re doing an amazing great job! Keep going!
I've been going through old photos. When I come across one that has a back story, whether it's a fond memory, funny situation or even something tramatic , I paste a copy in my journal and write, write, write! The photos come to life in a new way and it's so therapeutic.
Lol you said our bodies don’t let go of stress until we actually release it, and I actually started crying. Guess I’m where I need to be. I paused before 4 minutes passed but I already love this lady so much. Im new here but I’m definitely subscribing
Omgoodness! I saw your big smile on on the thump nail, and I was like let me see what’s she so happy about and I’m not let down thank you for making me smile and your energy is contagious 🙏🏽🙌👌
I started journaling only 2 and a half weeks ago, but it's totally changed my life and given me some much needed mental clarity. I'm wondering how I ever managed without it.
This was actually helpful. I had alot of noise in my head, I learnt that journaling can help to declutter. I gave it a shot but got confused where to even start. Those first litle things like date, time, mood prep my mind and poured everything on the paper. My head fills light now 🙏🙏🙏
Aaaahhhh I'm so happy to hear that friend!!! That makes me so happy! But yesss, journaling ABSOLUTELY helps with declutter and getting my mind set before I even start anything is essential! I'm so happy for you man!!
Before I start to journal I do deep breath close my eyes 1 2 3 inhale 4 5 6 exhale then I open my eyes and start writing ✍️ my morning affirmations and goals for the day and while I am writing ✍️ I sip on 🍵 ☕️ 🫖 tea thanks for sharing peace and blessings
Thank you, i will rewatch this when i want to journalling. I just discover that it will comfortable write it than talk to someone about our planning for future.
I am an avid journaler! I have so many journals LOL. I love the feel of a handwritten journal but I use both ways. If I am out I will place it in my notes until I am able to get into my journal. First thing in the morning and last thing at night I journal.
I do the very same thing Elizabeth!! I have both journals - handwritten and digital. They both work for me! But I can just imagine how beneficial journaling twice a day must be for you!!! So awesome!! 😃😃😃
I've been looking for ways to get away from the "woe is me" and "Dear God" stuff I've been stuck on. I want to change the channel on myself! Ha This was a good video. Very positive and upbeat. Thank you!
Awww I'm so glad I could help you Paula!!! 🥰❤️ Now don't get me wrong, I absolutely love prayer journaling!! 😄😆 But I definitely understand needing to change it up a bit! Journaling can also be used to document our good moments just as much as our sorrowful ones!! ❤️❤️❤️ Sending you love Paula!!!
Yesss I love a good notebook too! I go between that and digital journaling often but handwriting is still my fav 😄 thanks so much MindBehind Weightloss!!
Journaling has had such a powerful impact on my life... however, I journal on the computer... it just works better for me! I always write where I'm at on certain dates and right powerful messages to myself and then go back and read the later as a reminder or inspiration. I love it!
Oh yess!! Journaling on the computer absolutely works too!!! And I loveeee the idea of writing powerful messages to yourself to read back later!! #Inspiration!! You go ahead! So beautiful girl!!! 😍💕😍
I've been journaling for 15years (on and off) and I had to stop doing it 3years ago cause whatever was coming out of my head kept getting scarier with each entry and I realised I was going to a really dark place instead release all the bad emotions. Now I want to start doing it again, but properly this time cause I just love writing and I cant stop thinking about it. Thank you for this
Awww Iron Fro yesssss!!! I love that friend! Love love love! Can I recommend my video “Journaling for Mental Health” for you? It helps you to journal and include venting but also move past that as well… it’s the method that I often use when I’m feeling really bad about a situation and helps me from spiraling. The “venting” part can be as long as you want it to be so that you can get it all out. But the important part is that we just don’t want to STAY there ♥️♥️♥️. So rooting for you my friend and so happy you found this video ♥️♥️🤗
@@NaesLaugh I saw it after this one. Immensely helpful. Thank you so much. I'm learning the biggest trick is to not find other negative things connected the one I'm feeling. So instead of expressing how I feel, I do it as if I'm dumping the negativity back on the devil and telling him to go shove it up... 😂😂Really helpful. Thank you
I soo agree with the growth thing. I have filled up 3 journals and this is the first whole year if my journalling. I love having relics of the past, for which a journal is perhaps the best thing ever ! Also, I feel that I have become more connected with the feelings I have harbored for so long, and perhaps even lost some of the negative ones.Journalling has made me calmer, taking it all one day at a time and knowing myself much deeper. Love your style tho!
WHOHOOOOO!!!! A whole year of journaling??? That’s fantastic Hajerah!!! 😄😄🤩🤩🤩🤩🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 seriously I love it!!!! And I can absolutely can relate to the way journaling has impacted you!! It’s amazing how writing about our negative emotions not only puts it on paper but helps them actually leave our bodies! Amazing!! 😍😍🙌🏾🙌🏾 Thanks so much for being here friend!!!
Thanksss Lola!! And yess!! Journaling absolutely does help with that! ♥️♥️♥️ just writing your thoughts out. And aside from that, something else I would recommend for you friend is gratitude journaling. It may seem counterintuitive when you are dealing with anxiety and loneliness but I can say from personal experience that when you find / grasp things you are grateful for and make you smile... even if it’s seemingly small ... and you meditate on it a little bit by writing it out, your mentality starts to change little by little ♥️♥️♥️ Maybe you can give that a try too ♥️ Praying for you friend!!
Ok ... just let me start out by saying thank you! I'm 62 and have been Journaling for years randomly and I know that's fine but u young lady help bring such clarity to all of this! I've journaled on everything from slips of paper, spiral notebooks, paper bags, napkins etc from living in Korea, Germany, Hawaii, Texas, Indiana, Illinois and now Georgia (to name a few) and yes I do not know where half of the journals I've done are (but I'm doing better lol) and now with ur inspiration will be more focused and as a Christmas gift to my daughter who JUST told me she had no "outlet" will pass on ur video and a journal for her to start! I believe u will be able to inspire her to help take the load off. "Mama" might know best but sometimes it's easier to hear from a complete stranger. Thank you dear one. Love and blessings to you and yours! 😘🥰😍
Gayle!! This truly just made my DAY! 😭😭 thank you for your kind words. It is absolutely my HONOR to be able to help bring clarity and help you refocus, and also for you to see fit for me to help your daughter as well!! ♥️ Man words cannot express enough how much that means!!! Merry Merry Merry Christmas Gayle!!! To both you and your daughter!!! 😍♥️♥️🥰♥️♥️ I truly appreciate you and look forward to seeing you and your daughter around here again soon!!! 🥲♥️🥰🤗🤗🤗♥️♥️
I really love the way you make it more simple, easier for beginners like me and especially your energy. It come straight to the heart of a Vietnamese girl. Love you
Awww yesss Le! You just warmed my own heart! 😍❤️😄 I love you too my friend!!! And yesss!! 💃🏾 I’m so happy that I could make it easy for you - journaling is ABSOLUTELY something you can do and do WELL!! The only standard is - is this helping me express or clarify what’s in my head or just release, even if just a little? If yes then you’re doing it right!!! 😄😄😍❤️🤩 love you girl!!!
Candles and a diffuser while journaling is so soothing. I am totally going to try stretching beforehand - great suggestion to get the creative juices flowing! Love all your ideas to make journalling a fun experience 😊
Yessss Liis!! Candles and a diffuser are definitely my thing!! (I'd definitely recommend the salt lamp too in case you don't have any candles lying around lolll) I'm so glad you enjoyed friend! 😄💕
Great energy! Im currently creating a journaling system to track my daily productivity; my health, mental health, and personal growth. Definitely setting up and Finding what would work best is the hardest part.
Rocky that’s amazing!!!!!! Like that’s what I call being INTENTIONAL!!!! In addition to journaling freestyle, there are also guided journals and planners that could help you with that as well!! A quick search on Amazon would help with that! Maybe you can look into those and test a few so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel 😄🤩
I often start journaling with a quote. I always find these fantastic quotes that I loved so much, but I didn’t know what to do with them. Before I started journalling I had no where to put these quotes. Now I go through my quote list and use the one (or ones) I find speak to me that day.
Thank you for sharing. I have written in many journals. I have been here in Texas for 5+ years and have written in many journals, being inspired to finish writing a book in 2025!!!
I'm obsessed with those bullet journals that you you showed in the beginning! Instead I opted for the handwritten route in an inspirational notebook. Journal by candle light in the evening keeps me coming back.
Ahhh yesss Jackie!! Those journals in the beginning kind of intimidate me but maybe I'll get there one day. 😄 Journaling by candle light sounds amazinggggg though! Sounds like my perfect kind of night! 😄😍
I love this video! I’m not new to journaling but this is the kind of content that is needed for those of us who are circling back to the basics! Right now, I have my work journal & my prayer journal. Each one is just a page a day of “brain dumps” where there are breaks in my thoughts. My prayer journal has thoughts, worries, ideas and prayers on whatever is going through my mind that I feel need to be on paper while I am talking to the Almighty.
I've been journaling since I was 10 years old, and it's such a fantastic habit. I don't have my oldest journals, but the ones I still have, I like to check and read on. I tend to have very bad memory, so I often try not journal also to remember important things. Bits of gossip, experiences with people, and my thoughts about this and that. I even used to paste in magazine or news clips and then write what I thought about it. I like to re-read those old stories and what my opinion was and see how much I've changed about things.
Just really understand that Journaling also help you find your goals and your desires. Like starting from low and you keep journaling your life events until you re-read your last journals wondering your plans and desire really does work. Realizing that journaling will be your guide also its like setting such challenges to your life and now that desires and challenges you’ve write actually work and help you change and motivated! A lot 💖
Love this! I used to journal every day and write my thoughts and experiences down and then I stopped and I’m getting back into it because when I used to journal I would be able to think clearly, I’d have so much more perspective and gratitude and I had a great outlet for my emotions and thoughts. I just went to Barnes and nobles and bought a beautiful journal and have started so this was a great video to get my headspace back on track for journaling
I have bought so many expensive journals and never started. I don't know what is holding me back! I will try the brain dump and bullet point methods as I think they will work best for me x
Awww Paula!!! 😍😍😍 I’m sooo glad it was recommended to you as well!! That means a lot! So glad that it helped you and SOOO glad to have you here my friend!!! 😍😄🥰🤗🤗
Your energy is so contagious right for the start. I love it!! I love journaling and I try to do it daily, but never skipping more than three days in a row. I currently have my standard journal for day to day things, my scripting journal for writing out what I want as if it’s already come to me, and then I use the artist of life workbook from lavendaire as sort of a brain - dump journal/ ideas etc. I’ll never stop :p
Awwww thank you Sarah!! 😄😄😍🤗OOooo though girl, you sound like me with all the journals! hahah. You have the artist of life one though? I was actually thinking about getting it. How do you like it?!?
@@NaesLaugh I LOVE it. I just ordered this years and its my third year using it. I'm excited because it sounds like its been changed a bit from the past two years, and I know Aileen only changes things to improve them. Based on some of the things in her recent videos, I have a feeling its going to be even more in depth of finding ourselves and creating joy.
Wow Näe, I’m 1/4 into this video n feel so much better already. Finally someone who gets our needs. “SIMPLE NEEDS” but extremely important to each of us. O girl, your personality helps enormously too. You are ‘beautiful’ n your happy ways are so encouraging. Looking forward to watching all the videos you put up. ❤️
Aaahhh!! My friend, this means so much I can’t even express! 🥹🫶🏾💕💕💕💕 thank you for your kind words! I’m SO happy this resonated!! 🎉✨💕🥹 I’m sending you so much love!!
I've started journaling regularly this week and I'm completely loving it. I just write down things I need (or want) to remember, or just notable events or things I'm looking forward to doing. It's amazing the effect it has, like once it's down on the page, it frees my mind and I don't have to remember or worry about it anymore. I've even looked at videos on how to doodle, something I've never been able to do very well but I just think it might help add some character to my entries.
Aaahhhh Daniel!!! This makes me so happy!!! 😄😄😄🙌🏾🙌🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🎉🎉 I remember just a few months ago, you weren’t sure how to begin or even if the process would be beneficial for you and look at this!! This definitely made my heart smile!! Thank you for sharing friend!! 😄😄🎉🎉🥰🙌🏾 I think incorporating doodling is a fantastic idea! 😄🙌🏾💕🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thank you Nae! It was revisiting this video that inspired me to give it another go, I approached it with a fresh mind and, yeah, I took to it pretty much straight away. I seriously don't think I would be without it now!
Oh mann that means so much!! I seriously can’t express how proud and happy for you I am!!! 🥹🥹💕🎉🎉🎉🥹🙌🏾 keep with it Daniel! You will continue to help many (and yourself) as you continue along this road 🥹💕💕💕 so proud of you!!!!
Yeesss!! So great Nash! It seriously can be one of the most therapeutic practices, I agree!!! I can only imagine how far you’ll see you’ve come after you look back at this week’s journal entry a year from now! So rooting for you Nash!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🤩🤩🤩🙌🏾🙌🏾🤩🤗
This was a great video! Very helpful. I remember in English class, the teacher insisted that we all had to start the class with us journaling. I was so confused, & resisted to it, but after awhile of being super frustrated at it, it became easier, & just snowballed after that. Having said that, I haven’t journaled in decades, but thinking of starting back up.
This video made me so comfortable as you mentioned that aesthetic is not the most important thing and you can also use digital apps! Thank you so much and I love your vibes
Yessss!!!! 🤩🙌🏾🤗🤗😄😁 you are sooo so welcome friend!! I’m so happy I could make things more comfortable for you Rico!!!! Means everything!!! And yesss digital apps are soooo handy!!! And thanks so my friend! Sending all positivity and love your way!! 😄🤗🤗🤩😁🙌🏾
Hi Nae, I just started journaling this month and have no idea what to write about, it took me around 30 minutes just to start. But thank you for the tips and all. Hopefully i can see the growth everybody and you talked about, God bless you!
Oh I love this so much Flavia!! Please keep me posted on how you’re doing! 😍♥️ I also have a freebie worksheet on journaling through emotions if you haven’t downloaded that yet! Sending you so much love friend!! ♥️♥️♥️
Well you seem very excited about journaling and I like that. I watched tons of vids about journaling but yours is the best. I have been journaling for two years every day usually 1-2 hours but this year I want to reduce the hours. Journaling is interesting and useful.
Awwww Asia!!! That is so sweet, and means a lot coming from a journaling pro!!! 😄😄😄 I’m someone that can also journal for long periods of time but I would say something that helps is to set a timer! And if your willpower isn’t all there then maybe do it before you have to do something else that is scheduled... that you can’t be late for lol. I hope this helps you as you continue your practice this year friend!! 🤩🤩😍😄😁😁
I missed you! I write Everytime both on my phone and note book. It helps mean know myself more and my thoughts..and yes stretching ,environment for me I listen to MEDITATION Music. I literally involve the music In my videos and my stimulation just goes crazy.... Thank you boo boo....❤️❤️😘
I loveee it my girl!!! And I missed you too!!! I took a little time off but I’m back now!!!! 😄😄😁♥️♥️♥️ and yesss I definitely use both my phone and notebook too depending on where I am! Annddd meditation music is awesome my thing! Haha... I hear it in your videos and it puts me in a dream space, I love it!! Loll... thanks for commenting friend!!! 😄😄♥️🤗🤗
So one thing that discourages me from journaling is the fear that some will find it and they will judge me and I'll feel awkward and foolish. I want to start but that's what scares me
Who cares really, we are all humans and there is nothing that's new in this world! Try to hide it and Confront them if they do! It's all about you, or u can learn some other alphabet and use the sounds of the alphabet in your own language 😅
Been wanting to start journaling since the new year, but im finally going to start tonight! Love your energy and im now way more excited to start this journey! Thank you for this vid, just suscribed!
Aawwww YAAAYYYYYY Mariana!!!! I'm so happy I could help you girl because I understand the struggle!!! haha 🤗 Were you able to start like you wanted?? Let me know if there's any way I can help! I am SOOOOOO rooting for you girl!!!!! 😍😍

Awwww Farzana!!! You are the Sweetest!!! 💕💕💗🥰😍😍😄😁 And far too kind!!! ☺️☺️☺️ I appreciate you though my friend and am beyond happy that it helped you!!! 😍🥰🥰 Sending so much love!!! 😘😘💕🤗
I loved the part about wondering what people in the park could possibly be journalling about 😆 I've been journalling since I was a kid so it's hard for me to imagine not knowing how to do it, but I'm glad you have this video out there to give people the nudge to start :) It was a good reminder to set a cozy environment before journaling at least sometimes.
Awwww I love that Helena!! Hahaha man yesss it’s funny how it can be hard to imagine someone else not knowing how to do things that comes so naturally for us. I 100% get that! ☺️☺️☺️ I always just try to go back to a place where it wasn’t always that natural to help ppl in a similar state 🥰. But I LOVE that you’ve been journaling for so long though!, I know there’s a reason you keep going back to it 😍💕🫶🏾. So happy I could offer you another tip for your practice friend ☺️🫶🏾💕
Thanks for the kind comment! Your positive energy is really infectious :) I’m coming back to journaling with a beginners mind, so I’m watching videos like yours to get a new perspective in this season of life. So far I’ve done mostly long-form journaling whenever inspiration (usually something negative) strikes - like the people in the park going for pages! With my current research and new perspective, I think I’m going to add a daily (no-pressure) practice in the “line-a-day” style, so it’s just something quick, but I have a keepsake from every day. Hoping this will cultivate a more positive relationship with my journalling, so it’s not always associated with the difficult times in life. But I’ll still have that long-form journalling to fall back on when I need to process something more deeply. Thanks again for helping inspire my next steps :)
um wow I'm so glad I found you! love your personality & energy! & these tips are awesome, journaling is my favorite. handwriting in physical journals is definitely more preferred/beneficial to me than putting my thoughts into my notes in my phone
Awww my girl, this comment made me smile so much!! Thank you girlie!!! 😄💕🤗 And yessss, handwritten/physical journals is my favorite option as well. I definitely feel the most release with it! So glad to have you here girlie!! 😄🤗
I’ve tried journaling in the past but I could never stick with it. I have bad handwriting, and that would make me abandon my notebook altogether. So far, digital journaling is working perfectly for me. This year, I’ve been using the app called Day One. Now I’m journaling every day. I wish I would have thought of digital journaling years ago. Better late than never!
Oh yessss!!! I love the Day One app!! It’s also awesome because there’s an option to have daily prompts sent to you 😄♥️♥️ I’m so glad that you were able to find a practice and medium that works for you though!! That is absolutely what’s most important 😄♥️😍🙌🏾🙌🏾
Aawwww 😍😍♥️♥️ haha thank you soo much friend!! Your comment made my day and made me smile so hard! Hahahah 😄😄😍😁 Huge HUGSSSSS!!! 🤗😍 thanks so much for being here!! I so appreciate you!!! 😍😍🥰♥️🤩♥️
this is the most effective of journaling guides ive ever watched. ive always wanted to start journaling since i was a teen but till this day i don't know where to start. today might be the day of me doing what i was so sacred to do. anyways, you dropped this ✨👑✨, queen. thank you.
Was the perfect video it tackled all my questions when it comes to journaling and gave me clarity on things that I was already planning to do on how to do them and gave my idea as a name thank you so much 🫶🏾
Aawww Kavita!!! This is so sweet and warmed my heart!! I so appreciate you girl and am so happy that it helped you!!! Love you so much too girlie!! 😄🤩😍♥️ Sending a HUGEE hug!!!!!!!
I just received guardianship over my great great niece, and it is most definitely a journey. I decided today to purchase her a diary where she can write down all of her feelings, thoughts and experiences. I hope this helps her. side note. I’m also going to get some counseling for her as well.
Love your energy! And thanks for breaking down journaling so it's EASY! Journaling's been such a great way for me to set intentions, vent, reflect and make sense of the thought-soup in my head. Thanks for sharing your tips. :)
Girllll just YESS!!! I can't express how intimidated I used to be but at the core of it, it really isn't hard a all! And it's helped me in those exact same areas as well! (Also, I so love your "thought-soup" analogy) lolll. So glad you enjoyed it girl! 😃🤗❤️️
Hello! I came upon your video and have to say thank you! I checked out other YT videos and most of those how-to journal tips that came up on my search and watching them were way to complicated. I then did another search on how to write a simple journals and your video came up. I gave it a watch and from your video the tips were very helpful! Again thank you!
I just started a lifestyle journey eating healthy and loosing weight. I bought this fitness planner and there's a space to write your thought. It makes me feel great!
Awwww thank you my Ain!!! 😄😄♥️ I definitely will so be on the lookout! In the meantime I have some self discovery journal prompts in my video on Discovering Your Personal Values if you haven’t checked that one out already. 😄 So glad to have you here on the journey my friend!!! 😍😍😍♥️🥰🤗

FINALLY a journaling video that’s actually helpful and not just “put cute stickers on the page and use gel pens!”
Hahah omgness Molly yesss those videos would get to me so bad lol... especially because it causes so many people to feel intimidated and stay away from a practice that can actually be really helpful!
So glad I could help though girl!!! ♥️🤩🤩 Let me know if there’s any other way I can help you get started! 😄♥️🤩
Dude like it's the first time ever actually understanding how to actually journal. Thank you honestly
Trueee!!! ⭐️
Lol
Totally agree!!
“What is journaling?”
The ultimate excuse to buy ALL THE PRETTY STATIONERY!
Hahahah I hear you Gaby!!! 😆 My sister literally has to guard my eyes whenever we pass the journaling aisle in Target lolll. 😂 But now it's just time to put that stationary to good use! 😄😄❤️
My reason why to journal
1) want to be organised
2) want to have a pretty notebook to carry around
3) heard somewhere genuise + successful people carry it around with them 😚
4) But most importantly so that I can store my memories and look at them fondly when I am older.
The biggest mistake I made in my spiritual journey was NOT taking journaling seriously. Keeping a journal is essential to our personal and spiritual growth. Thanks for the reminder.
Yesss @TS Hall!!! I couldn't agree more! I use it in both my faith anddd personal growth!! It is so helpful and essential! Thanks for watching!! 😄😄
I agree completely
*I've started two journals, one that I fill with random thoughts that I get when my depression and anxiety take over. The second I started for my little brother who's 10. I've raised him since the day he was born when my mom was diagnosed with cancer. He's my world and I don't want kids because to me he's my one and only baby, so I've been filling that book with fun moments with him, how I felt when he was born, ect. I plan on giving it to him when he's 18 or 21. That way I have more moments to put in♥️*
I know it has been 2 years since you left this comment but I was touched by it: I have diagnosed moderate depression episode and ADHD, I also deal with anxiety often and to hear how you still manage to keep your little brother in a life surrounded by love despite it all it really hit home, my big sister has been a second mother ever since I got diagnosed, closer than ever to my needs and I am so grateful, I am sure that your brother is grateful as well. Thank you for sharing!
now
real men cry
💛
This is really the most wholesome thing I love it. He’s 100% going to be so appreciative when he’s older. You’re genuinely the best caregiver/older sister he could’ve gotten. This is from 3 years ago but I really had to comment cuz this hit ❤
That's soooo CUTE 🥰🥺
*There's no rule. Write whatever you want* the last point of you touched me directly. Thank you and you're amazing ❤️
Yesssss Mavia!!! That is something that I had to tell myself as well!! You see so many going it so you feel like there’s got to be a “right” way but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. The way that helps you most IS the right way!!! 🤩🤩🤩🙌🏾😍
your voice, your aesthetic is EVERYTHING. I literally watched 2 seconds of this video and immediately connected with your energy.... NEW SUBSCRIBER HERE!
Aaww my girl, you are sooo sweet!! Thank you Eden!!!!! I'm so glad to have you here!!! 😍😘😁🤗
Same
@@NaesLaugh my journal is a venting journal
@Tasia Alleyne ♥️♥️♥️🤗🤗
@Vanessa Hessian, I love that girl!!! I use mine for that all the time too ♥️♥️ So helpful for releasing negative emotions
A venting journal that’s what I should use my new journal for.
Ooooo venting!!! Yesss!!! I use my journal for that all the time too! ☺️☺️ do you find your head a bit clearer or your negative emotions a little less once you finish?
Maybe I would do well to vent more onto paper and less out of my mouth hahahaha!! Might reduce some of my own self-caused drama that way. Good suggestion.
Hahaha yesss girl!! ☺️☺️ I can’t express how many times I write something down and then go back to it and am like thank you LORD I didn’t say this out loud! Lol... it helps girl, it helps. ☺️
@@jessicahanselman7968 ...think I ll do that too.
the production.. your voice.. the resources.. your energy.. the editting.. the colors... YOU! I haven't loved a video this much in so long
Awwww my Fernanda!!!! That is so sweet of you!! 😍😍🥲🥲🤗 I am so happy that you enjoyed!!! Means the world ♥️ I appreciate you my friend and am SOOOO happy to have you here!
I've been journaling since I was 13 (I'm 23) but recently I've developed such an anxiety about it. I think I've lost the 'why' beyond having a negative vent - it worked so much better when I was focused on my own growth. Thank you for these tips!
Aahhh Amber! I can completely relate… I started getting anxiety later on in my journaling experience as well. I think it was for a few reasons - one of them, oddly enough was because I would often go back and reread my journal entries, when I wrote them I would overthink and wouldn’t let it just come out freely. What helped was me stopping that for a while to bring back my love for just WRITING and being open with my thoughts. So maybe something you can try is to not only journal when you need to vent about something but also journal when something really good happens as well, OR even when it’s just a “regular” day. All of that - the good, bad and simply okay days are key to your personal growth and life journey so they are all worth documenting. And my thoughts are that once you get more familiar with journaling other than venting you’ll know how to get out of it quicker and discover the “why” you speak of when you do have something to vent about. 🥰♥️♥️♥️ I hope that helps Amber!!! But know I’m so rooting for you! Keep journaling friend!!! 😍😍😍🥰♥️
You are such a bright light!!!! The intro with that little giggle was EVERYTHING
Aawww haha thanks so much Ro!!! 😄♥️😍🥰 Thats so sweet! I also love your channel name! How CUTEEE!!! Just love it! 😄🤗😁😍
Finally! I've been looking for a few how to's on starting journalling. I've tried so many times to start a journal. Both physicaland electronic. I couldn't figure out why it got so difficult to continue going after awhile. I had so much anxiety about doing it the right way. All the other "tutorials" I found were just talking about glitter pens and stickers, more collage journals than written journals. Glad I found this one, I think it'll help.
I'm so glad you found this video, friend! I know that feeling of wanting to journal but feeling overwhelmed with where to start. 🥰💕 but there is definitely no “right” way! You’re doing an amazing great job! Keep going!
I've been going through old photos. When I come across one that has a back story, whether it's a fond memory, funny situation or even something tramatic , I paste a copy in my journal and write, write, write! The photos come to life in a new way and it's so therapeutic.
Lol you said our bodies don’t let go of stress until we actually release it, and I actually started crying. Guess I’m where I need to be.
I paused before 4 minutes passed but I already love this lady so much. Im new here but I’m definitely subscribing
Omgoodness! I saw your big smile on on the thump nail, and I was like let me see what’s she so happy about and I’m not let down thank you for making me smile and your energy is contagious 🙏🏽🙌👌
Awww Elvira!!! 😄😄😍🤩🤗 hahah that’s so funny! Yayy I’m so happy I didn’t disappoint!! 😄😄☺️♥️ I so appreciate you my friend!! 😍🥳 Sending love and hugs!!!
@@NaesLaugh 😆
YOUR VIDEO IS A BLESSING! I'm tired watching "how to journal" videos that end up focusing on the aesthetic.
Awwww Ram Gen!!! YAYY!!! 😄😄♥️😍😍😍 Yesssss I so hear you! Journaling is so much more than that man lol. I’m so so glad this helped you!!! ♥️😍
Watching this one video is more than enough. I don't need to look around online for other videos.😌 such a quality content, Thanks
Awww I’m so happy to hear that friend!! 😍❤️🥰🫶🏾🤗 You are so more than welcome! Im so happy it resonated 😍😍
Finally some video with actual advice and guidance for journaling unlike others, who just spend 3 hours showing how to make a journal
my cat is 100% what keeps me calm. shes my happiness
Aww hahah I love that Kaelyn!!! 🤗🐈 so precious!!! Pets are the best for that! 😍😍♥️
Straight to the point, clear, can be apply to men or women, facing mental health issues or not. THANK YOU
I love this Mithinie!! 😍♥️♥️🙌🏾 yes, it is a tool that can help all of us. Thank YOU my friend! Appreciate you 😄😍🎉🙌🏾 rooting for you!!
I started journaling only 2 and a half weeks ago, but it's totally changed my life and given me some much needed mental clarity. I'm wondering how I ever managed without it.
This was actually helpful. I had alot of noise in my head, I learnt that journaling can help to declutter. I gave it a shot but got confused where to even start. Those first litle things like date, time, mood prep my mind and poured everything on the paper. My head fills light now 🙏🙏🙏
Aaaahhhh I'm so happy to hear that friend!!! That makes me so happy! But yesss, journaling ABSOLUTELY helps with declutter and getting my mind set before I even start anything is essential! I'm so happy for you man!!
Before I start to journal I do deep breath close my eyes 1 2 3 inhale 4 5 6 exhale then I open my eyes and start writing ✍️ my morning affirmations and goals for the day and while I am writing ✍️ I sip on 🍵 ☕️ 🫖 tea thanks for sharing peace and blessings
Aaaahhh I love this routine Darlene!! 😍🙌🏾💕💕💕 sounds so relaxing! Just yes! 😍🫶🏾💕💕💕
Thank you, i will rewatch this when i want to journalling. I just discover that it will comfortable write it than talk to someone about our planning for future.
yayyy im so happy this was helpful for you friend!! 💕😍 you’ll gain so much self awareness through this!
I am an avid journaler! I have so many journals LOL. I love the feel of a handwritten journal but I use both ways. If I am out I will place it in my notes until I am able to get into my journal. First thing in the morning and last thing at night I journal.
I do the very same thing Elizabeth!! I have both journals - handwritten and digital. They both work for me! But I can just imagine how beneficial journaling twice a day must be for you!!! So awesome!! 😃😃😃
Truly awesome! 💕
I've been looking for ways to get away from the "woe is me" and "Dear God" stuff I've been stuck on. I want to change the channel on myself! Ha This was a good video. Very positive and upbeat. Thank you!
Awww I'm so glad I could help you Paula!!! 🥰❤️ Now don't get me wrong, I absolutely love prayer journaling!! 😄😆 But I definitely understand needing to change it up a bit! Journaling can also be used to document our good moments just as much as our sorrowful ones!! ❤️❤️❤️ Sending you love Paula!!!
I love bullet journaling and I love a good notebook. Loved your laugh and your energy, I enjoyed watching this
Yesss I love a good notebook too! I go between that and digital journaling often but handwriting is still my fav 😄 thanks so much MindBehind Weightloss!!
THE SHIRT!!!! I LOVE IT!!! God is greater than your ups and downs. Love it!
Aaahhh Amber! GOOD eye!!!!! 😄😍😍💕🙌🏾🙌🏾 but yessss man, God really is just so good - in every season!!! 😍🙌🏾💕💕 sending love friend!!
Journaling has had such a powerful impact on my life... however, I journal on the computer... it just works better for me! I always write where I'm at on certain dates and right powerful messages to myself and then go back and read the later as a reminder or inspiration. I love it!
Oh yess!! Journaling on the computer absolutely works too!!! And I loveeee the idea of writing powerful messages to yourself to read back later!! #Inspiration!! You go ahead! So beautiful girl!!! 😍💕😍
I've been journaling for 15years (on and off) and I had to stop doing it 3years ago cause whatever was coming out of my head kept getting scarier with each entry and I realised I was going to a really dark place instead release all the bad emotions. Now I want to start doing it again, but properly this time cause I just love writing and I cant stop thinking about it. Thank you for this
Awww Iron Fro yesssss!!! I love that friend! Love love love! Can I recommend my video “Journaling for Mental Health” for you? It helps you to journal and include venting but also move past that as well… it’s the method that I often use when I’m feeling really bad about a situation and helps me from spiraling. The “venting” part can be as long as you want it to be so that you can get it all out. But the important part is that we just don’t want to STAY there ♥️♥️♥️. So rooting for you my friend and so happy you found this video ♥️♥️🤗
@@NaesLaugh I saw it after this one. Immensely helpful. Thank you so much. I'm learning the biggest trick is to not find other negative things connected the one I'm feeling. So instead of expressing how I feel, I do it as if I'm dumping the negativity back on the devil and telling him to go shove it up... 😂😂Really helpful. Thank you
@@ironfro5683 aahhh hahah I love it Iron Fro!!! YESSSS!!! I love it. Honestly! You’re doing a great job friend 😄😄😄🙌🏾😍♥️🙌🏾
I soo agree with the growth thing. I have filled up 3 journals and this is the first whole year if my journalling. I love having relics of the past, for which a journal is perhaps the best thing ever ! Also, I feel that I have become more connected with the feelings I have harbored for so long, and perhaps even lost some of the negative ones.Journalling has made me calmer, taking it all one day at a time and knowing myself much deeper. Love your style tho!
WHOHOOOOO!!!! A whole year of journaling??? That’s fantastic Hajerah!!! 😄😄🤩🤩🤩🤩🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 seriously I love it!!!! And I can absolutely can relate to the way journaling has impacted you!! It’s amazing how writing about our negative emotions not only puts it on paper but helps them actually leave our bodies! Amazing!! 😍😍🙌🏾🙌🏾 Thanks so much for being here friend!!!
This is the best "How To" Guide for journaling that I watched on youtube. Thank you so much!
Aww I’m so happy to hear that Kevin!! 😄😄🙌🏾💕 you’re so welcome! Happy journaling friend! You’ve got this 😄😄
i’m going to start journaling. i hope it helps me with my anxiety and loneliness. great video btw! :)
Thanksss Lola!! And yess!! Journaling absolutely does help with that! ♥️♥️♥️ just writing your thoughts out. And aside from that, something else I would recommend for you friend is gratitude journaling. It may seem counterintuitive when you are dealing with anxiety and loneliness but I can say from personal experience that when you find / grasp things you are grateful for and make you smile... even if it’s seemingly small ... and you meditate on it a little bit by writing it out, your mentality starts to change little by little ♥️♥️♥️ Maybe you can give that a try too ♥️
Praying for you friend!!
@@NaesLaugh ty so much for the advice! today was a great day overall
You’re sooo welcome Lola!! But awww I’m sooo happy to hear that!!! 😍♥️🙌🏾 that makes me so happy!!!
Ok ... just let me start out by saying thank you! I'm 62 and have been Journaling for years randomly and I know that's fine but u young lady help bring such clarity to all of this! I've journaled on everything from slips of paper, spiral notebooks, paper bags, napkins etc from living in Korea, Germany, Hawaii, Texas, Indiana, Illinois and now Georgia (to name a few) and yes I do not know where half of the journals I've done are (but I'm doing better lol) and now with ur inspiration will be more focused and as a Christmas gift to my daughter who JUST told me she had no "outlet" will pass on ur video and a journal for her to start! I believe u will be able to inspire her to help take the load off. "Mama" might know best but sometimes it's easier to hear from a complete stranger. Thank you dear one. Love and blessings to you and yours! 😘🥰😍
Gayle!! This truly just made my DAY! 😭😭 thank you for your kind words. It is absolutely my HONOR to be able to help bring clarity and help you refocus, and also for you to see fit for me to help your daughter as well!! ♥️ Man words cannot express enough how much that means!!! Merry Merry Merry Christmas Gayle!!! To both you and your daughter!!! 😍♥️♥️🥰♥️♥️ I truly appreciate you and look forward to seeing you and your daughter around here again soon!!! 🥲♥️🥰🤗🤗🤗♥️♥️
I really love the way you make it more simple, easier for beginners like me and especially your energy. It come straight to the heart of a Vietnamese girl. Love you
Awww yesss Le! You just warmed my own heart! 😍❤️😄 I love you too my friend!!! And yesss!! 💃🏾 I’m so happy that I could make it easy for you - journaling is ABSOLUTELY something you can do and do WELL!! The only standard is - is this helping me express or clarify what’s in my head or just release, even if just a little? If yes then you’re doing it right!!! 😄😄😍❤️🤩 love you girl!!!
Love the idea of a brain dump. Thanks for explaining.
I love your whole vibe!
Candles and a diffuser while journaling is so soothing. I am totally going to try stretching beforehand - great suggestion to get the creative juices flowing! Love all your ideas to make journalling a fun experience 😊
Yessss Liis!! Candles and a diffuser are definitely my thing!! (I'd definitely recommend the salt lamp too in case you don't have any candles lying around lolll) I'm so glad you enjoyed friend! 😄💕
i love lofi music, soft light, blanket(s), and a relatively clean space :)
Great energy! Im currently creating a journaling system to track my daily productivity; my health, mental health, and personal growth. Definitely setting up and Finding what would work best is the hardest part.
Rocky that’s amazing!!!!!! Like that’s what I call being INTENTIONAL!!!! In addition to journaling freestyle, there are also guided journals and planners that could help you with that as well!! A quick search on Amazon would help with that! Maybe you can look into those and test a few so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel 😄🤩
I often start journaling with a quote. I always find these fantastic quotes that I loved so much, but I didn’t know what to do with them. Before I started journalling I had no where to put these quotes. Now I go through my quote list and use the one (or ones) I find speak to me that day.
Chataine, I love that!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍 so much!!! That’s such an encouraging way to journal and such a great idea!! You’re doing it right friend!!
I have recently started incorporating journaling and I love it
Yessss, I started a few years back myself and I can't express the difference it has made! I absolutely love it too! 😃
Thank you for sharing. I have written in many journals. I have been here in Texas for 5+ years and have written in many journals, being inspired to finish writing a book in 2025!!!
I'm obsessed with those bullet journals that you you showed in the beginning! Instead I opted for the handwritten route in an inspirational notebook. Journal by candle light in the evening keeps me coming back.
Ahhh yesss Jackie!! Those journals in the beginning kind of intimidate me but maybe I'll get there one day. 😄 Journaling by candle light sounds amazinggggg though! Sounds like my perfect kind of night! 😄😍
goodmorning and thanks for the information about journaling it helps and its great
Whohooo! So happy you found this helpful friend! 😍🫶🏾🙌🏾😄 Rooting for you on your journaling journey!!
I started journaling about 4mo ago, so I’m always on the lookout for new tips and tricks. I loved your purse analogy for the brain dump!
Awww yayyy!!! I’m so glad it was helpful! 😍🙌🏾🙌🏾
Who else pressed the subscribe, like and download button a minute into the video? Gather here😂😂😂
This is so detailed that I can't wait to practice 🎉
I love this video! I’m not new to journaling but this is the kind of content that is needed for those of us who are circling back to the basics! Right now, I have my work journal & my prayer journal. Each one is just a page a day of “brain dumps” where there are breaks in my thoughts. My prayer journal has thoughts, worries, ideas and prayers on whatever is going through my mind that I feel need to be on paper while I am talking to the Almighty.
I like your method. A work journal and a prayer journal. Think am going to try that.
I've been journaling since I was 10 years old, and it's such a fantastic habit. I don't have my oldest journals, but the ones I still have, I like to check and read on. I tend to have very bad memory, so I often try not journal also to remember important things. Bits of gossip, experiences with people, and my thoughts about this and that. I even used to paste in magazine or news clips and then write what I thought about it. I like to re-read those old stories and what my opinion was and see how much I've changed about things.
finally one that doesnt just tell me to start and just do it everyday and just do whatever
Your personality and big smile are infectious 🤩
Aww thank you so much Lisa!!! 🥹♥️😍💕🤗🤩🥰🥰🤗
You are a breath of fresh air. Thank you for your positive energy and your journaling tips.
Aww thank YOU Gretchen! I appreciate you and am so grateful to be able to help! ❤️🙏🏾🙌🏾😍
I have been thinking for 2/3 years about journaling but this is the only video that has given me a clarity on how to start. Thank you.
This video is super helpful! I was just stuck because I didn’t know where to start but now I am feeling more motivated to begin writing in my journal!
Just really understand that Journaling also help you find your goals and your desires. Like starting from low and you keep journaling your life events until you re-read your last journals wondering your plans and desire really does work. Realizing that journaling will be your guide also its like setting such challenges to your life and now that desires and challenges you’ve write actually work and help you change and motivated! A lot 💖
Love this! I used to journal every day and write my thoughts and experiences down and then I stopped and I’m getting back into it because when I used to journal I would be able to think clearly, I’d have so much more perspective and gratitude and I had a great outlet for my emotions and thoughts. I just went to Barnes and nobles and bought a beautiful journal and have started so this was a great video to get my headspace back on track for journaling
I have bought so many expensive journals and never started. I don't know what is holding me back!
I will try the brain dump and bullet point methods as I think they will work best for me x
Great job same has happened to me I’m doing bullet journaling 😊
I'm so glad this video was recommended to me ❤️
Awww Paula!!! 😍😍😍 I’m sooo glad it was recommended to you as well!! That means a lot! So glad that it helped you and SOOO glad to have you here my friend!!! 😍😄🥰🤗🤗
Your vibes are very positive and energetic ☺️💖
Aww thank you friend! I appreciate that! 🥰🥰🫶🏾🤗🤗
Your energy is so contagious right for the start. I love it!!
I love journaling and I try to do it daily, but never skipping more than three days in a row. I currently have my standard journal for day to day things, my scripting journal for writing out what I want as if it’s already come to me, and then I use the artist of life workbook from lavendaire as sort of a brain - dump journal/ ideas etc.
I’ll never stop :p
Awwww thank you Sarah!! 😄😄😍🤗OOooo though girl, you sound like me with all the journals! hahah. You have the artist of life one though? I was actually thinking about getting it. How do you like it?!?
@@NaesLaugh I LOVE it. I just ordered this years and its my third year using it. I'm excited because it sounds like its been changed a bit from the past two years, and I know Aileen only changes things to improve them. Based on some of the things in her recent videos, I have a feeling its going to be even more in depth of finding ourselves and creating joy.
Wow Näe, I’m 1/4 into this video n feel so much better already. Finally someone who gets our needs. “SIMPLE NEEDS” but extremely important to each of us.
O girl, your personality helps enormously too. You are ‘beautiful’ n your happy ways are so encouraging. Looking forward to watching all the videos you put up. ❤️
Aaahhh!! My friend, this means so much I can’t even express! 🥹🫶🏾💕💕💕💕 thank you for your kind words! I’m SO happy this resonated!! 🎉✨💕🥹 I’m sending you so much love!!
Being journaling for years. Simple but powerful concept. Thumbs up from a small creator 😅
Yay, thanks Ethan!!! Thumbs up right back to you friend! :D Appreciate the support!!
I've started journaling regularly this week and I'm completely loving it. I just write down things I need (or want) to remember, or just notable events or things I'm looking forward to doing. It's amazing the effect it has, like once it's down on the page, it frees my mind and I don't have to remember or worry about it anymore. I've even looked at videos on how to doodle, something I've never been able to do very well but I just think it might help add some character to my entries.
Aaahhhh Daniel!!! This makes me so happy!!! 😄😄😄🙌🏾🙌🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🎉🎉 I remember just a few months ago, you weren’t sure how to begin or even if the process would be beneficial for you and look at this!! This definitely made my heart smile!! Thank you for sharing friend!! 😄😄🎉🎉🥰🙌🏾 I think incorporating doodling is a fantastic idea! 😄🙌🏾💕🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thank you Nae! It was revisiting this video that inspired me to give it another go, I approached it with a fresh mind and, yeah, I took to it pretty much straight away. I seriously don't think I would be without it now!
Oh mann that means so much!! I seriously can’t express how proud and happy for you I am!!! 🥹🥹💕🎉🎉🎉🥹🙌🏾 keep with it Daniel! You will continue to help many (and yourself) as you continue along this road 🥹💕💕💕 so proud of you!!!!
This is great for an introduction to journaling. Also, I love your energy.
Aww thanks so much Christmas!!!! HUGE hugs to you!!! 🤗🤗❤️️❤️️
this is my first time writting a comment on youtube. Your aura makes me feel safe like i want to take care of myself. I love that. Thank you so much.
Great video. I’ve started journaling again, after a long break. I find it so therapeutic and helpful to look back and to take stock of my journey 😊
Yeesss!! So great Nash! It seriously can be one of the most therapeutic practices, I agree!!! I can only imagine how far you’ll see you’ve come after you look back at this week’s journal entry a year from now! So rooting for you Nash!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🤩🤩🤩🙌🏾🙌🏾🤩🤗
This is such a great beginner video...u answered my question, what am I journalling about...start simple and it grows from there
Aww I’m so happy to hear that Leah! 🥰💕💕 yesss simple, baby steps… the practice will grow from there for sure! Rooting for you friend! 😍🥰💕💕
Finally I found the perfect video all in less than 10 minutes!! Thank you ❤❤❤
Hahah yessss Raasini!!! 😄😍♥️ I’m so glad you found this helpful! It’s absolutely my pleasure friend!! 🥰♥️♥️
This was a great video! Very helpful. I remember in English class, the teacher insisted that we all had to start the class with us journaling. I was so confused, & resisted to it, but after awhile of being super frustrated at it, it became easier, & just snowballed after that.
Having said that, I haven’t journaled in decades, but thinking of starting back up.
Hi Friend!!! 😄 yayyy I’m so glad that this video was helpful for you! Excited that you’ll be giving it another try! Rooting for you! 🤩🤩🤩😄🤗
This video made me so comfortable as you mentioned that aesthetic is not the most important thing and you can also use digital apps! Thank you so much and I love your vibes
Yessss!!!! 🤩🙌🏾🤗🤗😄😁 you are sooo so welcome friend!! I’m so happy I could make things more comfortable for you Rico!!!! Means everything!!! And yesss digital apps are soooo handy!!! And thanks so my friend! Sending all positivity and love your way!! 😄🤗🤗🤩😁🙌🏾
Hi Nae, I just started journaling this month and have no idea what to write about, it took me around 30 minutes just to start. But thank you for the tips and all. Hopefully i can see the growth everybody and you talked about, God bless you!
Oh I love this so much Flavia!! Please keep me posted on how you’re doing! 😍♥️ I also have a freebie worksheet on journaling through emotions if you haven’t downloaded that yet! Sending you so much love friend!! ♥️♥️♥️
Well you seem very excited about journaling and I like that. I watched tons of vids about journaling but yours is the best. I have been journaling for two years every day usually 1-2 hours but this year I want to reduce the hours. Journaling is interesting and useful.
Awwww Asia!!! That is so sweet, and means a lot coming from a journaling pro!!! 😄😄😄 I’m someone that can also journal for long periods of time but I would say something that helps is to set a timer! And if your willpower isn’t all there then maybe do it before you have to do something else that is scheduled... that you can’t be late for lol.
I hope this helps you as you continue your practice this year friend!! 🤩🤩😍😄😁😁
Thank you so much. This the best journal video on UA-cam. Period.
Aawww Ivanov!! You are the sweetest! And too kind!! 😄😄😄🤗 I'm so so glad I could help you my friend! It means the world!!!! 🤗🤗🤗
I missed you! I write Everytime both on my phone and note book. It helps mean know myself more and my thoughts..and yes stretching ,environment for me I listen to MEDITATION Music. I literally involve the music In my videos and my stimulation just goes crazy.... Thank you boo boo....❤️❤️😘
I loveee it my girl!!! And I missed you too!!! I took a little time off but I’m back now!!!! 😄😄😁♥️♥️♥️ and yesss I definitely use both my phone and notebook too depending on where I am! Annddd meditation music is awesome my thing! Haha... I hear it in your videos and it puts me in a dream space, I love it!! Loll... thanks for commenting friend!!! 😄😄♥️🤗🤗
@@NaesLaugh welcome back!
Your energy is so great. I’ll subscribe to see what happens next.
So one thing that discourages me from journaling is the fear that some will find it and they will judge me and I'll feel awkward and foolish. I want to start but that's what scares me
Totally my issue too!
Same, I agree
Who cares really, we are all humans and there is nothing that's new in this world! Try to hide it and Confront them if they do! It's all about you, or u can learn some other alphabet and use the sounds of the alphabet in your own language 😅
😂😂 that's sooo me🙆🤦
I also had this fear.Have a suitcase or a box and lock it using a small locker. That helps for me 😄
I just want to enter the journaling world, I know it will be the beginning of something amazing😊. Thank you for the tips❤.
I love this!!! I know it will be amazing too friend! It has made such an impact on my life!! I’m rooting for you friend!! 😄😍🫶🏾💕✨
Cute sweater!
Awww thank you girl!!! 😄😄😄 it’s definitely one of my favs!! I also loveee earthy colors 😄😄☺️♥️
Been wanting to start journaling since the new year, but im finally going to start tonight! Love your energy and im now way more excited to start this journey! Thank you for this vid, just suscribed!
Aawwww YAAAYYYYYY Mariana!!!! I'm so happy I could help you girl because I understand the struggle!!! haha 🤗 Were you able to start like you wanted?? Let me know if there's any way I can help! I am SOOOOOO rooting for you girl!!!!! 😍😍
@@NaesLaugh ahhhh, i did it!! and it's been amazing, thank you sooo much, hope i can come back in a few months and tell you how i finished my first notebook🤗
Aawww yesssss my Mariana!! I'm so happy to hear that!! 🥳👏👏 I can't WAAITTT to hear when you finish your first one my girl!! It will happen sooner than you think! 😍😍

I loved the part about wondering what people in the park could possibly be journalling about 😆 I've been journalling since I was a kid so it's hard for me to imagine not knowing how to do it, but I'm glad you have this video out there to give people the nudge to start :) It was a good reminder to set a cozy environment before journaling at least sometimes.
Awwww I love that Helena!! Hahaha man yesss it’s funny how it can be hard to imagine someone else not knowing how to do things that comes so naturally for us. I 100% get that! ☺️☺️☺️ I always just try to go back to a place where it wasn’t always that natural to help ppl in a similar state 🥰. But I LOVE that you’ve been journaling for so long though!, I know there’s a reason you keep going back to it 😍💕🫶🏾. So happy I could offer you another tip for your practice friend ☺️🫶🏾💕
Thanks for the kind comment! Your positive energy is really infectious :)
I’m coming back to journaling with a beginners mind, so I’m watching videos like yours to get a new perspective in this season of life. So far I’ve done mostly long-form journaling whenever inspiration (usually something negative) strikes - like the people in the park going for pages! With my current research and new perspective, I think I’m going to add a daily (no-pressure) practice in the “line-a-day” style, so it’s just something quick, but I have a keepsake from every day. Hoping this will cultivate a more positive relationship with my journalling, so it’s not always associated with the difficult times in life. But I’ll still have that long-form journalling to fall back on when I need to process something more deeply.
Thanks again for helping inspire my next steps :)
um wow I'm so glad I found you! love your personality & energy! & these tips are awesome, journaling is my favorite. handwriting in physical journals is definitely more preferred/beneficial to me than putting my thoughts into my notes in my phone
Awww my girl, this comment made me smile so much!! Thank you girlie!!! 😄💕🤗 And yessss, handwritten/physical journals is my favorite option as well. I definitely feel the most release with it! So glad to have you here girlie!! 😄🤗
I’ve tried journaling in the past but I could never stick with it. I have bad handwriting, and that would make me abandon my notebook altogether. So far, digital journaling is working perfectly for me. This year, I’ve been using the app called Day One. Now I’m journaling every day. I wish I would have thought of digital journaling years ago. Better late than never!
Oh yessss!!! I love the Day One app!! It’s also awesome because there’s an option to have daily prompts sent to you 😄♥️♥️ I’m so glad that you were able to find a practice and medium that works for you though!! That is absolutely what’s most important 😄♥️😍🙌🏾🙌🏾
this is so great! you should have WAY more subscribers. your content is phenomenal!

I just received guardianship over my great great niece, and it is most definitely a journey. I decided today to purchase her a diary where she can write down all of her feelings, thoughts and experiences. I hope this helps her.
side note. I’m also going to get some counseling for her as well.
Love your energy! And thanks for breaking down journaling so it's EASY! Journaling's been such a great way for me to set intentions, vent, reflect and make sense of the thought-soup in my head. Thanks for sharing your tips. :)
Girllll just YESS!!! I can't express how intimidated I used to be but at the core of it, it really isn't hard a all! And it's helped me in those exact same areas as well! (Also, I so love your "thought-soup" analogy) lolll. So glad you enjoyed it girl! 😃🤗❤️️
