Journaling is a daily habit that has totally changed my life. Getting thoughts out of my head an onto paper helps me come up with ideas, work through problems, and be more focused and calm during the day.
In this video I'll share all of the advice I have about journaling, from what supplies to use to how you should review your journal, and of course the journaling part in between!

I have 60+ filled journals and I have journaled daily for 10yrs
One of my tips is when you start a journal go to the very last page and write on the top “Important Dates” and leave the rest blank to fill in as you go
(I’ll give an example on how to use it)
Say on May 21, 2020 the love of your life asked you out, you write that entry out and then go to the “Important Dates” page and write “May 21, 2020/ LOML asked me out.”
So that way you can find your favourite memories A LOT faster
Wow! I always admire people who are journaling! For me it doesn't work, I always get stressed out, cause I want it to be perfect and then I'll write something down, hate it afterwards and never write in it again 😩
today is the date, how is it going in your may 21?
wejdy b that’s what i was going to comment 😂😂
Such a great tip!! Thank you!
thats so clever wow
Just before I get into the video, I wanna put a disclaimer for any young impressionable teen or kid who wants to journal, fancy supplies and pens are nice, but unneeeded. Literally just a notebook, regular pen or pencil is fine. A journal is a place for all your messy, crazy, weird, fun, sad, exciting and most defintely emotional needs. It's not supposed to be perfect, let the words bleed on to the page, free your mind, shut off that judgemental brain because it's not an A,B, C conversation, C those judgey thoughts out. Let it be just you and the page!
Idk why, but people in comments seem so nice, helpful and supportive, and real life people are... meh.
Right
Needed to read this. Thank you! 💖
@@techno3834 It's because like-minded people search for like minded stuff. Everyone here has searched up prompts on how to journal so its kind of expected that we'd be peaceful, nice people that want to help others out since we've gone out of way to help us find peace within ourselves.
Definitely agree! When I was a little kid growing up in the '90s, schools pretty much had everyone get a composition notebook and a regular number 2/HB pencil or cheap ballpoint pen - and that was pretty much all anyone needed for writing assignments and journalling. ^^
I prefer psychical journals and I seem to have one for everything, I need to get back to being more consistent with my journalling.
@@TheBlissBean I just have to keep my journals close and set aside time to use them.😀
Definitely recommend carrying them around with you and/or try out micro journaling (which is putting down entries in bullet point form/short paragraphs, if you don't have time to write out a whole page). Also, definitely recommend going easy on yourself and not treating journaling like it's a chore (speaking as someone that sometimes journals and draws sporadically, but doesn't try to force it as a daily thing since it would make it unnecessarily stressful).
More power to you though if you can consistently journal regularly! ^^
I'm going to give journaling a shot, I like the idea of putting my memories, thoughts and feelings down. Almost like looking into my soul and learning things
How’d it go?
I use journaling not just as a way to put my thoughts on paper but all to practice cursive! Not sure if it's for everyone but it's a nice experience for me!
I start my very first journal this year- 2020- we all know this year is catastrophic. The covid 19 makes us bored. So I decided to write a journal until the end of 2020 and following years. I'm 20 and I'm so proud of it. Having a journal it keeps you motivated and boost your mental health. ❤❤❤
That’s awesome! I started journaling more in Covid 19, solely because I had more time, and surprisingly, I had way more to write about!
I want to start journaling but...in my target language :) I may use a language I'm fluent in when I need to write down something extremely important or quickly, but I think it might be a great way to practice languages. And it would be so cool to fill up notebooks as I learn more languages throughout my life. I have a really tight schedule so journaling in my target language will give me the benefit of processing my life better while also practising a language at the same time.
Sounds cool I was thinking this too. I was going to try to add at least one page like that in there. I hope it went well
i did that while learning English! it's fun to read back and see all that i've improved. You should definitely give it a go!
That's a great idea! It's probably also a good way to help keep a journal private (in case it ends up in the hands of someone that doesn't respect privacy/boundaries). That way, if someone else looks at it, they can't read it (assumedly if they don't know the language).
This has inspired me so much to keep journaling. I was considering stopping. Then I saw this video and I realised it really is worth it.
*the other night I read my really old year 6 diary. it was soooo funny I almost died from laughter!*
i kept all of my diaries from primary school and it is sooo much fun to look back at them and laugh at my younger self
Omg I know I have been journaling for 4 years and I’m 11 it’s funny to see 7 year old me secrets😂
i've always wanted to get into journaling, but honestly the moment when i realized how much i wanted to do it was when i found my middle school journal. i forgot about it but reading it made me so emotional and nostalgic. ever since then i've been completely consistent with journaling because i'd love to have that feeling again in the future
This editing is everything!! I love how informational and aesthetic this is, too. LOVED THIS!
im a beginner in journaling and im just soooo freakking inconsistent like whenever i plan on writing one day i would go on filling 3-4 or more pages and then i would open it after maybe 3 months or something :(
Try law of attraction joirnaling
This doesn’t work
Try to stop journaling for the day b4 u feel like ur finished
Same 😂
you remind me of rory gilmore
The ultimate compliment
omg yesss
I really like the practice of journaling because it allows me to remove the anxious thoughts that are in my mind, even though I am not always well and wanting to write.
Great tips! I love journaling and how it can give me more peace of mind and clarity. Will def check out your promts! A video suggestion: I'd LOVE to see your stationary and reviews on what kind of pens you like using. I hear a lot of Tombow for example and I'm interest to hear about your favorites!
I've been using day one for almost 2 years (the free version) and I don't journal on It cause I prefer physically writing 😍 but I use it to upload pictures and go back to old memories through photos 😊
You just made it so detailed about digital journaling vs physical journaling 💕💕
i’m starting to journal more when something on my mind i dump all my secret on my pages because i do not want to tell nobody about them
Queen Unlimited SAME HAHA
yl X i will journal tomorrow it’s late i do have more on my mind
Yess go for it queen
yl X thank do you journal
Thank you so much for the idea of including your cycle day! This is genius! I have a very rough period (emotionally and with migraines) so this will be a big help!
AHHH YOUR ROOM AND VIDEOS ARE SO AESTHETICALLY PLEASING I LIVE
Your description box is everything, so organized !! i love the video thank you
you come across as such a bright & bubbly person. & thanks for this video!!✨
I tend to find journal prompts help as well. Also journaling nightly with my DAY HIGHLIGHS
Your videos are always so interesting and bringing so much positivity! It's really nice listening to you and watching your videos. I really like the way you edit. I love how much you get into details so everyone can figure out what works best for them. I'll definitely should start journalling at least at nights so I can get things off my chest before going to bed. Thanks ✨
This is seriously amazing. The cycle thing is sooo smart
I personally prefer square gridded hard back journals, I like how durable they are and the grid really helps when I stick photos in or use highlighter. :)
Love the idea of putting photos in your journal!
Hi there! Loved this video! I love journaling and I know that not all people feel like writing about their day and that different personality types journal differently (go look at mbti/journaling! *data nerd too here*) and some people don't enjoy journaling at all. I personally rarely write about my day, but rather on subjects or projects that I'm passionate about, and deep inner conversations about what matters to me in life haha. I also aim to journal every day but I really find it important to never force yourself to journal, I agree with you : it shouldn't feel like a chore. Some days I'm more inspired than other days. Anyway, thanks for this video, I really enjoyed it!
TOTALLY LOVE YOUR STYLE! What a NICE effort in your work ✨ totally love your channel 💜
Love your channel came across it about a week ago and have been binge watching! I’ve been wanted to blog for so long and your website is so nice and the niche I was thinking of. Thank you!!
Your editing is very pleasing :)) and you actually provided useful information. I've been journaling on paper for a while, but I am thinking about switching to use the app instead.
Thank you for the ideas, i am dedicated to my journal time, and was feeling stuck, your ideas helped. I recently got the artist way and some new brush pens to try!
Great video I’ve tried making journaling a habit but it’s hard I’m going to use your templates and that’ll help so thanks!!!
Thank you for the much-needed advice! I just found your channel this afternoon, and I couldn’t be happier about it. One of my biggest journaling struggles is my sense of obligation to write absolutely everything that happens in my life, down to the detail. I have OCD, and I’m also a perfectionist -two separate issues- and I’m really harsh on myself about every word I write.
It’s spoiled many journaling sessions for me, as I end up simply filling up several pages with pure recap of moments from my day - without any of the emotional benefits of just exploring my real feelings. I typically end up abandoning my journal for months from the frustration of it all. So, I’m really grateful for your advice and I’m definitely going to keep in mind your words and try not to obsess so much about every detail :-)
For people that want to journal digitally you can also use ipad and apple pencil (or any other tablet) and you can use apps such as goodnotes or procreate and still write them with your handwriting, in goodnotes you can create a notebook with lots of pages and also search up your own handwriting :)
That sounds awesome! Searching your handwriting sounds sooo useful
i used to do that with my summer journal and i dropped out. for me with paper and pen is so much better
This was very helpful. Thank you, you're amazing! ❤
you *deserved* so many more views and subscribers ✨✨ 💜💜💜
You helped me alot. Thank you❤️
Thank you so much for this video 💙
Thank you for sharing these!
this is what I really want to do since then and this video motivates me to start. By the way your so cute❤
Thank you for the worksheets!!
Of course! so glad you like them :)
You are my inspiration
I just found this video and I checked your content and I love it ❤️ subscribing right now
love , im trying to get into youtube and i was wondering what good apps you used because i love how simple
I am so glad I found your channel
Hey, just found your channel and like this video. Checking out other videos tonight. Good stuff!
New subbie and the video hasn’t even started on my end yet.
I love all your viedos
Okay but imagine all the historical data we're gonna have in a 100 years about covid due to all these people journaling in 2020. You'd be dead and your journal may be a very important piece of history - or imagine after you pass, your granddaugher finds your journals and starts reading them, learns more about your teenage years. Or maybe old you reads your middle school diary and laughs at how your biggest struggles were that math test and how Stacy was trying to hit on your crush. Just a though, to keep you motivated /if that's what motivates you, if that scares or or something - sorry /. I personally really like rereading my old journals, I've been journaling since I was 7 but I've only filled up 2 journals /Im on my 3rd one rn/, because there were times where I'd skip months or even a year or smth, I would sometimes not write cuz I was anxious of my family walking on me journaling so I'd only journal when they're not home or something but as I like to think - it doesnt really matter when you finish a journal, it matters that you did.
One con to digital is also the fact that some people might just keep going back and changing and fixing stuff. Even like while they are writing it they can edit it and idk to me that just changes a lot
I loved this video! Thanks girl ! Dani Dee Journals on Amazon are cute and cheap! They're about dreams and gratitude!
Oh my gosh, you're so high functioning!! Future employers/clients would be lucky to have you. Glad I stumbled upon your cannel.
Saying hello from Seattle!
-R
I like to write my full name at the top of each entry.
Thank you so much for this video ❤and Btw you're so BEAUTIFUL ❤And lots of love from INDIA ❤
A lot of people journal about there day. But I personally prefer to journal more on how I’m feeling, my emotions for the day. But I started to journal by writing about my day.
I really like your videos :)
Journaling is one of my most favorite self-care activities
your handwriting is weird and i love it ! ^^
We have the same journal lovely!📔
I do a dream journal.
Here I am again. Checking out your cool youtube videos :) But, did you know over time that highlighted ink can fade? Sadly, it has happened to me, but it was on receipts actually. I had highlighted on them for income tax reasons. So maybe it was just the receipt paper type? Take care!
I’m a writer it helps a lot with planning out my comic book through insightful entries
i have a diary for my writing and songwriting
What for habit tracker do you use?
The link in description is not working
Where is u got this journal notebook
You remind me of Goodenergiii here on UA-cam.
she's super woman of organization. wish i had that discipline
What app do you use for habit tracking? Also, the link to the journaling prompts is broken.
Hi! New Subscriber. The link for the journal prompts or book doesn't work anymore. Can you share the link another way?
I can’t open the worksheet link
Copy and paste it. If not, google search for her blog, the bliss bean, and use her navigation system on her blog website to find the worksheets.
i have three different 1, a diary that’s got dates already on all the pages that i write in everyday 2, a stream of conscious i can write 100 pages a week or not at all for 2 months just any emotions or thought i need to get out 3 photos and keepsakes no writing just photos and dates
Those all sounds awesome! I think a photo/keepsake diary sounds really cool 🤗 do you print the photos?
Ye and keep like other small things like piped balloons and recites
The download link doesn't work!?🤔
Won't let me download the worksheet
The link for the worksheets isn’t opening
For everyone that is saying that the link doesn’t work....there is space in front of the word “journaling”. You have to remove the space in order for the link to work
You look so much like Rory from Gilmore girls!
You're beautiful :) Thanks for the tips btw
The link to your worksheet doesn't work

THANK YOU!
Great Video! But Most people type faster than they handwrite ???? I guess I‘m not most people 😂😂😂
I loved this video but im only a little distracted by the camera not focussing on you :( makes you look blurry
Hey, so wanted to say the link isn't opening smh
The side of a book is called a Spine.
Pencil does fade.
hi! does anyone wants to give me a tip.... i wanted to start journaling of my thoughts plans etcc, but its just that when im about to write them, my thoughts are gone, you know when you suddenly thought of something and wanted to write it but when im about to write it, i cant because i forgot. hehehehehe. does anyone have some tips on how i can improve the things that i want to write on my journal and on how to be more organize hehehe
i tend to do stream of conscious, so for example, "im siting at my desk writing this, its raining outside and the window is open but im feeling to lazy to close it. But i guess its fine since i read that you live longer if you spend more time in the cold. I wanted to write down this idea but i forgot it, i wonder hwy im always forgetting stuff as i sit down to the page, maybe its because... bla bla bla..." at some point thoughts become more cohesive and you figure out what it is you want to say or muse about.
@@nadiabairamis3854 thank yoy so much for this! hopefully i'll learn to s my thought more openly on my journal. im getting there, thank you!!!!
Forwago plans really helped me achieve progress on my physical and mental well-being. You should check it out. It might help you too.

Just a little disclaimer:
You have to sign up with your e-mail to get the 50+prompts
Here is the working link:

Okay hear me out, every damn time I see her WHY DOES SHE LOOK A BIT SIMILAR TO BILLIE EILISH TO ME???
I really liked your video 🤩 but you were not sharp ☹️ that made it a bit less nice to look at...
Personally I write a journal on paper every evening before going to bed. And I just write whatever pops into my mind ✨
So where are the prompts? This feels misleading.
Can't find them behind the link either, only found an older article with 75 prompts at www.theblissbean.com/blog/2018/6/18/75-journaling-prompts-for-your-best-life
I guess she wants us to sign up for her newsletter, as many bloggers/UA-camrs do :-/
The amount of time we spend believing we can't is more than enough time to learn how you can. The Forwago program helped me to realize that I can achieve almost everything if I just try it hard enough. Believe in yourself :)
I was stuck in life, playing games all day and doing nothing, and then a friend introduced me to this program called Forwago. Now I'm on a clear path forward and enjoy every day.
