  • Creative journaling can be such a wonderful outlet for anyone! There are lots of ways to approach creative journaling included guided journals, bullet journals, planners, and blank notebooks. In part 1 of this video, I am sharing a peek into some of my past creative journaling experiences, as well as some ideas for prompts to cover in your creative journaling. Supplies are linked below!

    I picked up the hello happy journal because I loved all the different page illustrations. But as I began working in it, I found it became redundant. So rather than ditch it, I began collecting prompt challenges and questions from Pinterest and redesigning the pages (with my HP stickers of course!) to go with each of those daily prompts and am really enjoying it. Like a lot of others, I have lots of planners and stickers but not much to plan so Im always looking for other outlets for using the stickers in my collection. Surprisingly, I haven't found much so this video was right on time! 😊

      Love that you are making that journal work for you! I agree that at times those re-occurring prompts can get a little boring, so it is nice to change it up with the ones that you are finding online.

    Thanks. I like the part where you just write down what you were feeling that day. Sometimes it’s enough to just recognize I felt whatever. Then I can go on. I might recognize it is caused by something I need to work on or maybe give it to the Lord and leave it there.

    • @ScrappyWife
      @ScrappyWife  Рік тому +2

      Yes, I completely agree! Acknowledging where I am starting for the day just helps me take note and then move on from there.

    I’ve only been in the planner world for less than 2 years, so I’d be interested to go back and see how covid lockdowns changed journaling, and see if it returned to “normal” afterwards. I loved seeing the flip-through of all your journals!

      Totally get the time constraints. You have to remember that the journals I share on here are a compilation of a bunch of entries over time. It takes me 5-15 minutes a day for a journal entry. I also tend to do journaling on the go. I am diving into all these details in parts 2-5 of this series on Patreon in the month of March - www.patreon.com/scrappwife

    I do try to do a diary everyday, but I don’t do this kind of journaling. I have similar types of journals but don’t feel I have anything to write about, I don’t do anything, don’t go anywhere and done feel anyone cares about me….despite a husband two kids and 3 grandkids. I don’t see the point of writing this down, don’t have anything to be grateful for……but maybe just the fact I have woken up is something to be grateful for……

    • @ScrappyWife
      @ScrappyWife  2 місяці тому +1

      I am very sorry that you are struggling in that way. I do find that gratitude leads to more gratitude. Simply starting by finding small things - grateful for my meal, grateful for a good tv show, grateful for my favorite song, etc. starts to change my mindset and then I can identify even more things to be grateful for.
