I took your advice today and opened up a journal and just let it all out. No format, no rules, real feelings and no lies. It felt good to get things cleared up and expressed fully on paper. Sometimes I forget how to reconnect. Thank you so much for the reminder to journal. I really needed this.
I also have a journal but I only write into it every two weeks or once a month because I'm mostly too stressed to remember writing! But I think it's a great way to connect with your own thoughts!
You've inspired me to do many things, first it was overcoming my eating disorder and becoming vegan, and now I'm going to try and journal again! You've also helped me learn to love my body and myself, so thank you so much!!! :))
I've written in a journal since I was 9 or 10. Last night, I was reading things from almost 3 years ago and I realized how my writing has developed. I don't have a planner but I've always wanted to start one. Maybe I'll buy one :) Thanks for this video, Mary.
You are adorableeee. I've begun journaling and one of the best parts is being able to look back at what you've written a year before and being able to see how much you've grown as a person(:
Yeeeey! I kept a journal all of 2015 and time flew by and I didn't even realize how long I've been journaling. At first I had to get used to it but now it's kind of a habit. Thanks for all the tips, still pretty helpful! I love reading back old journal entries because you can see how things have changed and how you've grown, especially since I'm going through a hard time at the moment with mental illness and stuff...
Loved this Mary! I've been wanting to start a journal for so long now, and this video really pushed me to go buy one. Thank you, I can't wait to get started :)
Love it! I definitely get stuck in the perfectionist mindset and feel like if I'm not doing it everyday then I'm not doing it at all. Need to let go of that and just do it when it feels right.
It was a Lovely video !!!! I felt you were actually talking to me and whatever you mentioned is actually what I do.... the most impact you made was with the 5th point.... I have sometimes written something that was not actually true because people just like in ur life read my book and it caused troubles.... I have feared the same for a long time.... Thanks to you... I will start fresh now... it doesn't matter... because in the end I am being honest and it's my life and my only life.... 🌸🦋🌸🦋🌸🦋 #grateful
I started journaling from the first of january this year and I have absolutely loved doing it. :) These were great tips for someone who are getting started just like me! xx
Started writing a diary in 1988! Now I'm 39 I love reading back and still write today. Every September I rush to the biggest WHSmith I can find (a UK stationary shop) to buy the prettiest diary I can find and I always write in purple or pink.
Years are just another day. If society hadn't conditioned you to feel such a way about "new beginnings" you wouldn't. The new year for me isn't the start of a new numeral year, it is in spring when the trees start regenerating leaves and such.. anyways. love & light to you lovely
I made the common mistake to force myself to write in my diary everyday and at some point I realized that that wasn't productive and I wouldn't really want to reread those random things. Haha
I love my journal, although instead of starting a new one every year I change it when I turn a year older. Even though it has two years in it for me it feels like a new year when I turn another year older.
Shreya Chaudhry Same, the thing is though, I feel like if I write in the journal that isn't within the same time period (age related) than it's not true to time. Its kinda like how Adele released here albums with her age as the title and it fits with how she's felt that year.

Tip #2 is the best!!!! I've had a hard time with this!!
I loved this video! You should make more journaling ones!!
Great tips! I'm going to give journaling another go :)
Why? I love yellow brownish color in my journal; it gives a sense of being traditional and victorian in which I like.

Thank you! This helps
Your such a lovely soul xx
I have a lined paper journal that I want to start journaling with, should I still draw in it, even though it's a lined page and not a blank one?
Jade Batugo of course. there are no rules whatsoever in journaling after all
