  • I spent the last 30 days journaling to see if it could really help me get my life together. From doom scrolling and procrastinating,I needed a reset and to get off my phone. So I bought a notebook to help me step by step get my life back on track. In this video, I talk about the pros and cons like why it feels weird to journal in public, and how it made me feel authentic again along with the benefits of doing a digital detox. i also developed mental clarity, motivation/self discipline and i broke bad habits. i recommend buying a notebook :)
    Finally posting. I just wanted to post anything to get back on track. hope you enjoyed :)

    i've learned that in order to experience life in its fullest, you have to give up the idea of "cringe." it can be hard, but i've experienced my greatest moments of joy and improvement when i decided to stop caring about the meanless ridicule those less happier than you tend to throw your way.

      Hei, thank you so much for imparting this message. I'm currently trying to fix my life, restart from the beginning. One of the things that is hard to ditch during this journey is my perfectionism. Your comment hits me so much to let my perfectionism aside by being "cringe".

    I think I might be broken. I have no qualms busting out my journal or sketchbook in public and had never thought twice about it before, but now you have made me wonder if everyone in the coffee shop thinks I am a weirdo 😅

      Nope you're not broken. Before smart phones we read books and wrote in notebooks anywhere we wanted to, without fear of who might be judging us. I'm likely never going to run into any of those people again, so why care about what they think?

      They are more likely to be jealous of your carefree nature, being scared to do it themselves. Cafes and other public places are a great place to relax if you like the background noise of other people moving about with their lives ❤

      Not broken. I’ve never thought twice about it either; I think it comes down more to whether or not you’ve learned to judge that behaviour (e.g. think it’s ”cringe”). That has to be unlearned for some, but many of us never picked up that judgement in the first place

    At age 54, I commend you for the wise actions you’ve taken to find yourself and discover your motivations and passions. These are skills that I still use today as age brings wisdom but the underlying undulations of our lives continue. Goal setting, planning, and self reflection and awareness has made we wealthy, healthy, and more in touch with how to solve the internal and external challenges of life. Play on sister…play on.

    Funny I've always had a notebook or sketchbook out in public and i love it when people look. Usually its with curiosity and like "wow Id like to try that". Its been very rare ive had even a bad look and even then i just think its funny. Like "oh no im writing on paper and you dont approve. Whatever will I do?" lol makes me feel like a rebel

    Now get yourself a fountain pen! For starters, I can recommend a Lamy Safari, Kaweco Sport, TWSBI Eco. So many people journal and urban sketch. There are tons of communities. Be you and do your thing. Don’t be one of many.

    Hello from America, Audrey! I'm old enough to be your Dad (and maybe even your Granddad), but I've recently come to many of the same conclusions you have. I'm trying to wean myself away from digital devices by using pen and paper to take notes and keep a journal. Keep using your notebook to get your life back on track and plan to do the things that YOU want to do, not the ones that everyone else says you should do. Do the things that make you genuinely happy. Keep playing piano and making flower arrangements, if that's what you want to do. If "Fear of Missing Out" (FOMO) hits, just think of it this way: It's not that you are missing out on the cool stuff your friends are doing--it's that THEY are missing out on the cool stuff YOU are doing! The description for your channel says, "I'm not an expert." I'll let you in on a little secret: No one is. We're all trying to make our way through life, trying to figure out what works for us. I'm glad you've found something that works for you. Keep doing it! Cheers!

    I’ve been journaling, off and on, for over… 40 years! 😮 When I got back into it in my mid-20s, it was jarring at first, but my life became much more peaceful and enjoyable. And while it’s hard not to after a while, collecting journals and pens (or other things to journal with like watercolors, washi tape, etc) can become a form of procrastination…

    I'd like to compliment you on your wisdom.

Even for me - with quite a bit more life experience than you - you are an example

Right now I'm watching a video from a laptop with headphones and I listen to your voice with my right ear, and the background music with my left.
