@@Ash-rx9ljooh that's great 🤗 I'm afraid of carrying around such a notebook with me, what if someone else gets their hands on it 🥹 I need to start journalling regularly. I only do it once in a while, but I think regular journalling would definitely help me
I agree! Ive been more self reflective because of journaling. When I have a bad day I journal. Why do I feel this way? Why do i have these thoughts? Are there past trauams? Listen to her. Journal helps 🤍🤗
Ive been journaling since I was in Grade 3. When my mom allowed me to buy a journal (its the journal with lock and key and i find it so cute and she bought it for me ^^)
yesss!!! and one of the nicest things is coming back to old pages and just seeing the whole evolution, especially if u started therapy. It's such a nice process!!!! super recommended! 🎉
i have been journaling since a year now and as a busy student i try to journal at least 5 times a week and i tell u its the best thing i did in my whole life......
I personally don't think journaling helps me. I've loved Journaling as a kid and it kinda got boring after a while because i truly hate talking / mentioning anything i do. But now that I'm a student as well I don't have time to journal much but i do love planners, making planners, and just planning in general it's basicly like a journal but i get shit done lol 😭
I filled up my A5 journal in 107 days since I started in January! I'm a quarter of the way through my 2nd one! I MUST journal daily in order to maintain my peace and sanity!
I can’t even be honest or better said write all my thoughts etc. into the journal, for that I prob need to move out or be good enough in Korean to make full sentences and being able to express myself. Spanish would be cool to learn too, but anyone can translate it easily, because the letters are most likely the same. I made a Journal with different sections: about me (fav colour, fav book, singer, hobby, friends etc.) just to see if it changes over times. My dreams/goals, training plan (structures), rating movies or books, strangers talking, my dreams, creative pages, things I am grateful for (little things), happy jar notes. I made little positive notes I did fold once and glued on the page, so if I should feel down, I can open one and close it again, recipes… In goals I reached all the things I wrote for now if I remember it correctly. I didn’t write my biggest goals yet (I don’t dare to take the step yet and I also stopped journaling for years) the last time I wrote was when my cat went missing. I opened my journal and came across the goals/dreams page and realised that all I wrote came true, so I prayed and wrote that my cat comes back as I was crying and had barely hopes. But I was trying to manifest it and think positive, just this time, for this moment I will give it a try and believe it, as I wrote it down. And my cat came back. Didn’t write again after that into my journal, but I was so happy and I think writing it down helped me and gave me hopes. You can create a journal the way you wish, there are no limits, you can be creative and that’s very cool. But I lost motivation and don’t have time for that at all. But it’s nice to have it, to look once a while inside. I might start a new one, if I feel like it again.
My only problem is the commitment and the many thoughts that burst all at once. I would like to journal, but I wish there was a book I could buy that has thought prompts in it and a guide for how to journal.
Same!! I also started journaling recently and it's so hard to compile all your thoughts and put them into a couple paras. Like I'd take a few hours to jot down all my thoughts 😭
idk why this made me cry, but... it did and its so important to talk to yourself. to spend time with yourself. to sit with every single emotion and thought as hard as it may be sometimes. and i've been gonig through such a hard time and this is something i think i needed to hear :') thank you ♥
Another good thing is that you can go back later and see how you've grown, if you don't write I down it's difficult to see your progress which can be an amazing feeling
I have been journaling on digital diaries from 1990s and even on a paper journal. Now i just started yesterday journaling on a digital journal casio sf-5590sy 128kb. That thing is so amazing it just wants to be a planner. That is my first digital journal that i am properly journaling on. I had one more digital journal few months ago but i did not properly journal on that. The journal i had was sharp el-6690a 64kb.
i love u and Ur whole channel thank you for existing 💘. I'm going thru a really tough time because of hs and college admission prep. I hope I can get in somewhere good 💯
i love u sm. and i’m so sorry to hear that. i remember that was one of my darkest times since I was so focused on my college apps. but now that i’m 4 years in college, let me tell you this. it really doesn’t matter where you go as long u work hard 🩷 i remember people telling me this back then but i didn’t believe them. and the expectations people set on you can be so suffocating as well. but at the end of the day, your happiness and well-being is what matters the most. where you go to school does not matter in the long run. i love u sm 🩷🩷🩷
I just journal to safeguard my memories and look back at them when i grow up , and well yeah it helps process thoughts aswell and say things I can’t say to anyone Its like my happy place where i can create a mess however i want ^^
I've been journaling for almost 3 years now and ofcourse it's amazing. Journaling helps me knowing myself and I can record everything. Even if I die atleast my diary will keep me alive ❤️😊
Started Journaling last week writing several pages a day its been rl helpfull. If youre scared of someone reading your journal you can just write more personal details in vigenere cipher with a good key.
Yup I agree with her. I've been journaling for years and it helps as you can let your emotions out and don't feel that you are neglecting your emotions. So start journaling, it helps
my handwriting is a mess too but w practice u can get better! theres a lot of handwriting practice sheets so if it bugs u a lot try those, u can improve ur handwriting 💗
I just journaled this morning through the notes app on my iPad mini. I agree with your advice! My thoughts were filled with anxiety and stress that it was irritating, but when I typed it down I felt so much better. I don’t do it constantly but when I do, I’m better every time
Maybe it’s just me but I feel like the best way to start journaling is find a notebook that matches or aesthetic or whatever I find myself being more attracted to things that are pleasing to the eye like my phone case or my phone in general and you don’t have be so serious about it whatever comes to your mind write it down and see where it takes you 😌
For sure! Too many people fret about what to write. It doesn't have to be a published work, just write what's on your mind. I agree with via here, it's just about trapping your thoughts on the page.
As long as your not afraid of having it stolen from you it can help with anxiety cause it helps reduce the load on ur brain Which makes easier to think things thru Like drawing sketches and links and stuff It’s kinda like how tried to teach us it but failed miserably
It's exciting to see someone so excited for journaling! I read HARRIET THE SPY ages ago and that inspired me. Hope is this video inspires many people in the very same way. THANKS!
personally idk if this is just me but i LOVE journaling but as soon as i start a new journaling book thingy i just want to stop like i hate getting a new book to write in i just want my old one to spawn new pages😭😭😭
Pro tip: use a composition-style notebook, not a spiral notebook. This makes it a lot harder to rip pages out, whether they be blank pages for use elsewhere, or journaled pages that you want to get rid of. And if you can just casually rip pages out of your journal, then that signals to your brain that your journal is trivial and unimportant.
guys I would actually love to do this, but it’s hard for me to get motivated and I start out eagerly but I just push it off after a while and never touch that journal again
For me, my journal is the only place where I can be me, my non perfectionist self and truly reflect my personality it’s calming bc I don’t have to hide myself, my safe haven
I totally agree with you but I’m doing a diary. I don’t know what is the difference of a journal and diary tbh. Since I do diary, sometimes I feel like I HAVE to write what is going on on about my day and it feels like a burden and I wouldn’t have the mood to write abt my feelings and what I want to express. (1)
(2) bcs I feel like I want ppl to know what I’m going through so I tend to write my life like a movie that’s suppose to have a happy ending. idk maybe I just need reassurance that it’s ok or better to write abt my feelings. Bcs idk if writing abt my feelings is the right way to journal/diary. I want to feel safe and write abt my thoughts and feelings in my diary but I’m not sure how to.
Writing how you feel or think or want to remember or to leave behind like dreams. Don't cogitate so much on it. Diary Journal Common Book Notebook. Yeah, they're so fraught, keeping people from doing simple things like a diurnal gratitude list. Go For It. Call it what you will. Enjoy. Peace!
“Nobody but you is going to read your journal” My siblings: “Hey [insert my name here], where’s your journal I’m bored” (I always tell them no but they find it and write insulting things in it like I was talking about someone that was really tough for me and they scribbled all over it and wrote “WHO CARES”)
Subjective classes are tricky, they sound easier than objective classes but the measure is capped to an individual's expectations, your teacher's. Which could be a NEBULOUS measure than if it was fixed. They might be light graders or the second coming of the third Reich concerning grammar. I did find though, they're easier to "haggle", I saw students who were good at debate bump their grade up just by talking and also redos like you did, I tried it once for me and a friend and I got him an A and me a B. I mostly find they're mostly softer on people who take their classes serously, NEVER show disinterest or sleep, sit in the front row and participate best you can. Be engaged. If you think about it, it sounds like heaven to students, but pretty offensive if people expect your life's achievement to be nap time. They've been there for years before and after you leave, they know the rumors better than you. 😂
Whoelse is following her face throughout?, like a baby's, so cute😅🥺☺️☺️ Awwwn look at her eyes and lipss😅🥺🥺🥺☺️😩 You rarely see an adult that's so cute like that 🥺
Hi Stargirll, that's a lot of journals :) Sounds like you already know how to journal. But if you're looking for inspo, my fav things are 3 things to be grateful for 5 minute stream of consciousness on a prompt (I have tons if you want any) Recall a beautiful moment, a delicious moment and a hilarious moment. Feel free to leave a comment on any of my videos if you need more help :)
Omg one of my friends was like do you not trust me enough to let me read your journal? And I was like but- and they just started reading it and they gave me the side eye for the rest of the day and I wanted to disappear
I wanna journal so bad but I cringe so hard every time I try, like it's so embarrassing even though I know nobody is gonna see it 😭 I just cringe at my own thoughts
I have the same problem!! What helps me the most is not setting a goal at all (let yourself journal whenever you feel the need to). Journaling is supposed to be ralaxing and (for me at least) assigning it a goal makes it a chore instead. But if you do want to set a goal for yourself, set one that is so minimal it's nearly impossible to fail at first. The point is making it *very* specific and countable in a way, this will make it easy. For example, not "I'll journal once a week", but "I'll journal for 5 minutes a week" or "I'll fill half a page of my journal notebook per week". You'll build up confidence this way and will be able to make it harder as time goes on. Also, make it realistic. Don't go all in at once, you'll burn out. Start small. Also also, bring your journal with you everywhere!💖
which journal are you using? or is it just a random one. bc ive been considering buying one since i started watching your videos. ive also been wondering if you journal every single day or is it only when you feel like it?
Hi there, not Via but I might be able to help: If you're a beginner, buy an A5, plain notebook from the office supplies store. You can also journal digitally too which is cool because, if you're like many people I know, you carry your phone around with you whereever you go. re: when to journal, there is no rule to do it. When I started, I would just write whenever I had an idea or a thought I wanted to mentally unpack. And then, at the end of the month, I would review my thoughts and pick out things to develop more and discard the rest. However, over time, I have a more regular morning and evening journalling process. Hope this makes sense. Feel free to leave a comment on any of my videos if you need more help :)
Hi Alyssa, that's a great question. Journalling is so free-form that there are no have-tos or shoulds. Though this can quickly become overwhelming for a beginner. Here's what worked for me when starting out: I installed a simple notepad app on my phone (I used Jota for Android) and, anytime I had an idea or something I wanted to chew on, I just wrote it down. Literally, an unfiltered dump of what I was thinking. And then, at the end of the month, I would scan through this log and pick up the things that seemed useful and discarded anything that wasn't. With practice, you develop and intuition for this so don't be too precious with this. If you want more of a structure, I would say start writing down 3 things to be grateful for in the morning and, in the evening, think about what went well, what could be better and what could you do smarter tomorrow. Phew, long comment. I'm actually creating a beginner's course on creating a journalling habit. Just comment on one of my videos if you want to know more. And best of luck to you!
Nosey parents 😂 I don't live with my parents anymore, but I still enjoy journalling digitally. I think it's great from a variety of perspectives. If I ever need to write on paper, I might leave it for a day or two then transfer the useful parts to my digital repository. Hope you're still journalling despite your nosey parents!
@@lowkeyayokai yea i used to hide it in a place where i thought they wouldnt find it but then my mom started asking me stuff that i had only mentioned in my journal- so yea thats when i got to know she read my journal... now my journal is in a safe space but i dont journal anymore cuz of what happend..
I’ve been journaling for years and I wholeheartedly agree with you 😊
I started journaling yesterday and it really helps my mental you’re right💜
How's it going? Do you journal regularly?
@@Ira.1 I only write when I feel emotional or when my feelings get intense so i pour all of my thoughts to journal.
@@Ash-rx9lj that's great
Do you use a special notebook for journalling?
@@Ira.1 no i just use a little notebook so i can carry that with me🥰
What about you ?
@@Ash-rx9ljooh that's great 🤗
I'm afraid of carrying around such a notebook with me, what if someone else gets their hands on it 🥹

It's awesome to see so many people journaling. I turned my journals into books; keep writing!
I can’t even be honest or better said write all my thoughts etc. into the journal, for that I prob need to move out or be good enough in Korean to make full sentences and being able to express myself.

I have this fear that others might knows what I'm thinking. 😅
And that's why I'm afraid to journaling
i started journaling in a serious way since 2018 and its the best decision ever
idk why this made me cry, but... it did and its so important to talk to yourself. to spend time with yourself. to sit with every single emotion and thought as hard as it may be sometimes. and i've been gonig through such a hard time and this is something i think i needed to hear :') thank you ♥

Thank you so much! I didnt know how to start one. May God bless you!❤
Hope you got started and are on your way to journalling joy!

So true! Writing it down validates the thought. Writing stuff down always gives me a clear head and lifts the burden off my shoulders
this is the most convinced i’ve been thus far tbh
Literally be truthful so true dudeee
I just made my first journal entry and I actually feel lighter and better 😊
I just journal to safeguard my memories and look back at them when i grow up , and well yeah it helps process thoughts aswell and say things I can’t say to anyone
Its like my happy place where i can create a mess however i want ^^
do it!!! I've been journaling for 10 years and it helps me so much!!
I was thinking of jornaling since the start of may , I will definitely look into it
Thank you i needed that!
Thank you for sharing

Ive been journaling since about 8 and i fill about 15 + journals a year
Definitely my sign because we have the same journal 🥺
I be journaling in my iPhone note app and I be typing for hours so I need to get me a journal book 😅😂
I just journaled this morning through the notes app on my iPad mini. I agree with your advice! My thoughts were filled with anxiety and stress that it was irritating, but when I typed it down I felt so much better. I don’t do it constantly but when I do, I’m better every time
I am starting to journal today 🥰

Like drawing sketches and links and stuff
It’s kinda like how tried to teach us it but failed miserably
Totally, I find drawing and scribbling to be really calming
I‘ve been journaling for 5 yrs now and i do it, bc i dont want to forget any nice days and i wang to vent about bad days
Oh damn, i needed to hear this
I started journaling in February, it's feeel sooo goood
It's exciting to see someone so excited for journaling! I read HARRIET THE SPY ages ago and that inspired me. Hope is this video inspires many people in the very same way. THANKS!
personally idk if this is just me but i LOVE journaling but as soon as i start a new journaling book thingy i just want to stop like i hate getting a new book to write in i just want my old one to spawn new pages😭😭😭
Pro tip: use a composition-style notebook, not a spiral notebook. This makes it a lot harder to rip pages out, whether they be blank pages for use elsewhere, or journaled pages that you want to get rid of. And if you can just casually rip pages out of your journal, then that signals to your brain that your journal is trivial and unimportant.
I’ve been journaling for a year and a half, I love your page I totally agree with how you should be super honest and open
Journaling this year finally started thanks its cause of you Via 😊❤
That's 💯 exactly my fear: someone stealing my journal. Or dying and someone finding it :(
Yesss❤
Thank you so much for this via and I have been journaling for at least a year now.
It helps me
guys I would actually love to do this, but it’s hard for me to get motivated and I start out eagerly but I just push it off after a while and never touch that journal again
that’s it…! im going to start journaling!!! i’ve had enough of my brain !! ❤
Me having my journal and diary on my phone Cuz someone always steals it plus it gets lost😂
For me, my journal is the only place where I can be me, my non perfectionist self and truly reflect my personality it’s calming bc I don’t have to hide myself, my safe haven
I have been journaling for one year and i havent really been able to do these things. Ty, this really helped
"No one is gonna read it except you right?".....my little brother was literally reading aloud everything I wrote 😢
Yeah Journaling is pretty fun and healthy learning.
Sooo true
I love it too ❤

Omg wow😱😱
I am!!! but I just lost interest bc am studying for my finals so I don't have time 😔
the realist advertising advocate for journaling
She: No one's gonna read your journal

If I could be 1/20th the Stoic Marcus Aurelius was, then I would gladly allow everyone to read my journals :D
You have excellent taste, my friend!
Thank you.
im starting today
“But through Journaling, it's like You accept your Thoughts.” - *VIA LI*
Im scared someone might accidentally stumble upon my journal and read all of my demons XD
“Nobody but you is going to read your journal”
My siblings: “Hey [insert my name here], where’s your journal I’m bored” (I always tell them no but they find it and write insulting things in it like I was talking about someone that was really tough for me and they scribbled all over it and wrote “WHO CARES”)
Bummer, that must be pretty frustrating!
Have you tried journalling digitally? That's my preferred method but physical has its benefits too!
venting without judging
Whenever I try, I try to make it perfect and keep tearing pages out 🙃 pov: 2 days later the diary quits
Subjective classes are tricky, they sound easier than objective classes but the measure is capped to an individual's expectations, your teacher's. Which could be a NEBULOUS measure than if it was fixed.
They might be light graders or the second coming of the third Reich concerning grammar. I did find though, they're easier to "haggle", I saw students who were good at debate bump their grade up just by talking and also redos like you did, I tried it once for me and a friend and I got him an A and me a B.

do you stay consistent or whenever your feeling it🦟🦗🦟🦗🦟🦗❓
Whenever your feeling it ....depend on the person tbh 💖
My brother read my journla. I have no privacy... 😭but thanks for the adice! ♥️
😂😂😂
Same 😮😅
Whoelse is following her face throughout?, like a baby's, so cute😅🥺☺️☺️
Awwwn look at her eyes and lipss😅🥺🥺🥺☺️😩
You rarely see an adult that's so cute like that 🥺
No one is going to read except me!!!!! No girl my mom and brother read it and laughed a lot on me .....I stopped writing it
Sorry to hear, Harry. I'm sorry they did that. Have you considered journalling digitally instead? That way it might be easier to secure.
I finished 5 but I was writing things I didn't really achieve so I don't know how to journal guys like what you write into it
Hi Stargirll, that's a lot of journals :)
Sounds like you already know how to journal.
But if you're looking for inspo, my fav things are
3 things to be grateful for
5 minute stream of consciousness on a prompt (I have tons if you want any)
Recall a beautiful moment, a delicious moment and a hilarious moment.
Feel free to leave a comment on any of my videos if you need more help :)
Ahaaa , my strict parents read them years ago
"No one's gonna read this except you right"
*Indian parents enter the chat *
Omg one of my friends was like do you not trust me enough to let me read your journal? And I was like but- and they just started reading it and they gave me the side eye for the rest of the day and I wanted to disappear
I just can't

My stupid younger cousins keep stealing it so im trying to find a hiding spot
I am scared to give up after like 3-4 days like almost everything I am doing lmao, any tips?
I have the same problem!!
What helps me the most is not setting a goal at all (let yourself journal whenever you feel the need to). Journaling is supposed to be ralaxing and (for me at least) assigning it a goal makes it a chore instead.
But if you do want to set a goal for yourself, set one that is so minimal it's nearly impossible to fail at first. The point is making it *very* specific and countable in a way, this will make it easy. For example, not "I'll journal once a week", but "I'll journal for 5 minutes a week" or "I'll fill half a page of my journal notebook per week". You'll build up confidence this way and will be able to make it harder as time goes on.
Also, make it realistic. Don't go all in at once, you'll burn out. Start small.
Also also, bring your journal with you everywhere!💖
@@simonalapinskaite4731 thank you so much for your answer and explaination !! :D
❤
Can I please have the link to this notebook?
which journal are you using? or is it just a random one. bc ive been considering buying one since i started watching your videos. ive also been wondering if you journal every single day or is it only when you feel like it?
Hi there, not Via but I might be able to help:
If you're a beginner, buy an A5, plain notebook from the office supplies store.
You can also journal digitally too which is cool because, if you're like many people I know, you carry your phone around with you whereever you go.
re: when to journal, there is no rule to do it.
When I started, I would just write whenever I had an idea or a thought I wanted to mentally unpack.
And then, at the end of the month, I would review my thoughts and pick out things to develop more and discard the rest.
However, over time, I have a more regular morning and evening journalling process.
Hope this makes sense. Feel free to leave a comment on any of my videos if you need more help :)
@@thefulcrum thank you so much!
Is it better to journal in an actual notebook or would it be the same to journal in your notes app?
Hi, do we have to journal everyday? So does that mean we have to have few books for journalling for a year?
Hi Alyssa, that's a great question.
Journalling is so free-form that there are no have-tos or shoulds.
Though this can quickly become overwhelming for a beginner.
Here's what worked for me when starting out:
I installed a simple notepad app on my phone (I used Jota for Android) and, anytime I had an idea or something I wanted to chew on, I just wrote it down.
Literally, an unfiltered dump of what I was thinking.
And then, at the end of the month, I would scan through this log and pick up the things that seemed useful and discarded anything that wasn't.
With practice, you develop and intuition for this so don't be too precious with this.
If you want more of a structure, I would say start writing down 3 things to be grateful for in the morning and, in the evening, think about what went well, what could be better and what could you do smarter tomorrow.
Phew, long comment.
I'm actually creating a beginner's course on creating a journalling habit. Just comment on one of my videos if you want to know more.
And best of luck to you!
Not My parents seeing any book in my room. And reading it
Nosey parents 😂
I don't live with my parents anymore, but I still enjoy journalling digitally.
I think it's great from a variety of perspectives.
If I ever need to write on paper, I might leave it for a day or two then transfer the useful parts to my digital repository.
Hope you're still journalling despite your nosey parents!
After finishing one jounal should I throw it away? Or what should I do
i used to journal a lot but then i stopped since my parents literally read them.. and it was so embarrasing
@@lowkeyayokai yea i used to hide it in a place where i thought they wouldnt find it but then my mom started asking me stuff that i had only mentioned in my journal- so yea thats when i got to know she read my journal... now my journal is in a safe space but i dont journal anymore cuz of what happend..
That sucks. BUT it DOES let one know SOMEONE DOES CARE!
once i live on my own ill journal , my parents do not care TOT
Are the results permanent?

Fo you journal day or night?
Morning and night :)
Gratitude in the morning.
A reflection of the day and planning the next day in the evening
:D
How about you?
