if anyone has trouble getting started with journaling, i'd definitely recommend having an intro page and a list of prompts at the beginning of your notebook. it gets rid of the first page anxiety.

i love writing in my journal in the way artists doodle in sketchbooks. process the world and what you think about it. sit down with your brain and process these things together with pen and paper. make connections with arrows. think of follow-up questions that you then seek answers to. be in tune with yourself!

♡ I made this journal spread during the pandemic. I listened to a lot of visual kei in that time + occassional vocaloid/utaite content. I wonder what my playlist may look like now...

A year of journaling, a year of Moleskines. I was steady about journaling this year. In harder times and better, I wrote long entries, but in between, I kept entries shorter. In the past, I’ve used 6 journals for a year, and this year I used 5, including my chunky Japan travel notebook, which I saw as a win. I hope to collage more in the upcoming year—I did a lot of “scrapbook” style but not much creative collaging, which I love and used to do once a month. I already have my big Moleskine for our Australia trip, but I’m actually starting the year off with a cute wombat journal gifted to me by an Australian pen pal who I’m finally going to see again this March after more than 20 years!

Life moves fast, but self-reflection is timeless. Journaling is a transformative tool for stress relief, personal growth, and creativity. 🖊️✨

Here’s why you should start:

• Reduce stress by expressing your thoughts.

• Boost emotional intelligence and self-awareness.

• Achieve goals by writing them down.

• Unlock creativity through freewriting.

Try these techniques:

1️⃣ Gratitude journaling: List 3 things you’re thankful for daily.

2️⃣ Reflective journaling: Dive deep into meaningful experiences.

3️⃣ Stream of consciousness: Let your thoughts flow freely.

Your journal is your safe space for growth and discovery. Start today—your future self will thank you! 🌱

My Reflection Practice

Daily morning meditation

Reflection Planner - every morning I journal whatever is on my mind. I also log my mood and my morning habits.

Gratitude Journal - every morning write down 3 things you are grateful for, followed by weekly affirmations

Weekly check-in: Recovery Planner

I usually complete one on Sundays to set myself up for the week.

Reflection questions:

What is taking up space in my mind?

Where have I been selfish, dishonest or afraid? What can I do differently?

Do I need to fix something? Do I owe anyone an apology?

What have done well? What victories can I celebrate?

How can I help others or be of service?

Monthly: Spiral Planner

I am looking for a new way to track my monthly goals and intentions. Right now I'm using a physical planner, but I am looking to incorporate Notion.

Reflect on my goals from last month

Set goals for the month

Set intentions for the month

Note bill dates

Note important meetings

Journal Suggestions if you don't know where to start:

Bullet Journal

Answer shadow work prompts

Manifesting Journal

Career Journal

Junk Journals: What exactly are they?

This post, I want to explore a different type of art. I want us to look at junk journals and see what they are, how to make them, what to do with them, and why you should have one. We cover all sorts of other types of art information on this blog and you can reference a few here and here and here.  Now let’s see what all the fuss is about these junk journals. Have you ever even heard of them…

Go Small and Show Up (Day 17)

I’d like to think I have grown up a bit since my “Go big or go home days”, but I know old attitudes die hard. However I have learned a thing or two in my years here on earth. One is the wisdom in today’s prompt. I hope you will find something in it for yourself! Continue reading Go Small and Show Up (Day 17)

- Opening curtains in the morning

Will literally brighten your day!! :) As someone who used to avoid doing this I can confirm it really does make a difference and makes you feel more energized ♡︎

- Scrapbooking

To let your creativity flow, while also reminiscing at the same time ♡︎

- Listening to your favorite song

And you can make a new playlist as well! ♡︎

- Lighting a scented candle

For a scent maybe vanilla cupcake, strawberry buttercream, caramel swirl, or fresh cut roses (these are yankee candle scents!) ♡︎

- Tending to a garden

It can be very therapeutic, and satisfying to watch your garden grow! ♡︎

You can try to bake brownies, cupcakes, or cookies ♡︎

- Bubble bath

And using scents with essential oils like lavender, rose, or jasmine! ♡︎

Even just a 5 minute walk can help you feel more refreshed ♡︎

Find something that catches your eye ♡︎

You can paint anything on a small canvas ♡︎ Or draw on paper!

what i started doing as a beginning writer was write to my friend who died. then eventually i got over it as i found out he may have raped me while i was black out drunk. then, my best friend jackie deleted me from her life. we used to journal together (in real life diaries~we scrapbooked with glitter and poetry in them too.)

i contacted her dramatically through tumblr multiple times after she forbade our friendship, and she said i was harassing her.

but she still has her tumblr up and i check it maybe once a week. she still journals and shares her life. she knows about this tumblr. i sent her an apology and well wishes and just didn't want her to think i've abandoned her. i will always be here.

so ~~~ when i write i imagine writing to a best friend.

I would like to write to you but... will I disturb you? Would you be annoyed? Will I be wrong?
