I've been journaling since summer 2018, and my favorite thing to look back at right now are "currentlies". Every couple of days, I will write down a current read, current favorite song, a tv show I am watching, a food/drink I am enjoying. It's so fun to look back at what I was enjoying at a certain time!
I have a dump journal that I write whenever I feel super anxious and is literally shaking. I also don't have expectations and writing is a mess. I like it because I don't hold back so much and it's better than telling people.
i have one of those too omg, tho i dont use it that much anymore because im in a better place now. Now i mostly use it for processing grief bc those thoughts are too sad to be in my pretty journal and i dont want that grief being in my main journal haha
I use to journal when I was 12-13 and i loved writing in it especially because it helped me during the toughest time of my life. but my stepmom found out and read everything in it (i was traumatized) and shed use the things i wrote in it against me. im 21 now and i still have a hard time writing now but your videos are really helping me get back into that mindset so thank you so so much. btw i recently found out about your channel and i can't stop watching your videos. love your content!
Me watching this video *suddenly has the urge to pick up the journal I haven’t touched in months and journal all my thoughts* The universe knew I needed this video! Thanks Reese!
In Nov. 1976, I started keeping a journal. I have done it since then. I just use standard spiral bound, 200 page notebooks ....yep, like used in school. I number them. I have never written ever single day. Once in awhile, weeks go by w/out me writing a single word. I have no rules about journaling. Keeping a journal comes in handy sometimes when I can't remember when something happened....it can jog my memory. One thing I've always done in mine : I write the date , day of week ,& time of day. Even if I write in the morning, then write later in the day, I make note of the time I'm writing that entry. And I make sure I put the year ,,...if I'm using the same notebook when the new year starts, I'll put the new year at the top of the page. Journaling is very personal & individualized. There are no rules. You won't be tested or graded on it. Do it the way you feel comfortable. The one thing I think is important......handwriting. When you write by hand, emotions show in your handwriting.....& it will change as you age. That's interesting to go back & see ! For a short period of time, I typed & printed out my journaling. SO regret that !! Remember, there are no Journal Police. No one is going to correct your grammar , punctuation, or sentence structure. 😄 📘🖋
I do both. First I write it in my notes app because it's easier to type everything I feel and think because it's faster, and when when I write it down in my journal its just understanding more of my thought process and then I let go after it's on paper
I did a "journal for a month" challenge for december, which is probably not the best way to start because it puts a little pressure on yourself, but since then I journaled baisically every day with only one ore two interruptions! I just needed the little pressure to start because I already knew that I am going to like it. Another tip I have for everyone who wants to start: I also practice my cursive handwriting when I journal. That means that I do 2 things at a time and that also helped me to keep going and make it a beautiful habit :)
You just embodied everything about journaling and why its so positive! I've been journaling my whole life, since I was a child, and obviously its been very messy and I have tons of diaries. I love the message you put in this video: journaling is for yourself and only for yourself! 🤍
I started journaling when I started to hate myself more, this was before COVID. There were so many bad things happening in my life that I hated myself for all of it. So I started journaling to get it all out of my mind, and it helped get the negative thoughts out for a bit. I usually write about all the awful things that go through my mind and my life. I’m scared that if someone reads my journals that they’ll see how much I hate myself and have me sent to an asylum to get me to like myself more. I’m going to a therapist now, that’s also on the down low. But I’m scared if the wrong people find out about any of it, they’ll use it against.
i really like your outfit in this video! i’ve been journaling for about 3 years now and i’m so happy you find it helpful too!! i use it as a way to put my thoughts on paper and to kinda time stamp certain periods of my life. it’s so cool getting to go back and read old entries because you get to watch yourself work through situations and grow. i’m happy you discovered journaling and find it helpful too!
The way i was waiting for you to say something, and then you said exactly what i was thinking/hoping you would say, was so satisfying! I liked that someone agreed with how i journal and someone who understands how i feel like with brain dumping about a bunch of different things bleneded into eachother, or like just about my day bc i want to remember it even if its kind of insignificant. Ive been watching a lot of journaling videos latley because i was curious to see how other people keep their journals, and theyre all so neat and organaized and colorful with collages and pens and markers and whatnot, so i absolutley adored when you reasurred that a journal is like whatever i want it to be yk, i dont have to make it a certain way for it to really be a journal. Ive never seen someone think just exactly like me on the topic of journaling so i LOVED this video :))
This is such a great video you went into amazing detail on the different ways you can approach journalling and what you can achieve with it, I love that! If I'm ever in any kind of bad mental state and I can't identity the cause I go straight to journalling and just write a prompting question like 'I feel down because..' and from there just write with no conscious thought about what I'm writing, usually the truth comes up.
Thanks for explaining. ❤ You made it calm and helpful as advice for journaling

I started journaling in January after months of seeing you do it so often. I had been trying for yearsss to get into it, but it never worked, but for some reason, watching you do it make me want to do it, and I've been doing it everyday since then ♥️
If you need to hear this: Dont care what you write. Want it to look nice? Do it. Dont want it to look nice or dont feel like doing it? Dont. No ones telling you how, and you can always stop. You shouldnt do it because “its part of the lifestyle” or something, just do it to help yourself. My mom has written in journals for more then 5 years at LEAST, and she wrties whatever she want s and lives with the mistakes. Dont throw the mistakes away, make them better.
Hi Reese! I loved this video, I’ve been journaling for years. Lately I’ve been writing down three things I’m grateful for in the morning and 3 good things that happened that day at night. It’s a good way to focus on the positives in life 💗
Thank you for making this! I love hearing about all different kinds of journaling approaches; they're so inspiring and helpful. The journaling breakthrough that got me back into it after taking a two year break: using multiple journals. I found that I kept stopping when I wanted to change my approach and wasn't happy with what was in my journal, so I started keeping a bunch of journals at the same time, each with a different approach, and I rotate through them depending on what I'm in the mood for. The result was a handful of really lovely, organized journals that I am so proud of and excited to write in! I use some more than others but being able to easily switch it up has been super motivating for me.
Thank you so much Reese for this video! I'm always on and off with journaling, and because I have some perfectionist aspects, I feel like I fail with not journaling every day, but thank you for normalising it and stating how it's a personal act for yourself when you can do it ❤️
I personally have multiple journals for different things. I have one strictly for manifesting and gratitude lists. I have one specifically for the 10/10/10 worksheet form tik tok (which I definitely recommend) and then I have one for to do lists. I love this video and it helped me look at journaling in a different way
i love that!! i also just started a separate journal for my manifestations because i feel like they needed a separate space to give my attention to :-)
I've first had all the thoughts you talked about in middle school. I was so lonely that I just started writing all my emotions on my notes app as a coping mechanism and by doing that I wasn't sad during the day, because it all felt finally clear now that I got all in front of me. In a messy way, just as I like it. Like I did share my experience with friends, when it was just me and myself. I was basically journaling without even knowing it was a thing!! I would suggest doing it to other people and they would look at me like I was too mature for my age, which was true but I've always been lonely and the only reason I didn't breakdown often was because of journaling. No one told me to do it, I just took my notes app downloaded wattpad wrote whatever was in my head. I still have those first notes saved in a wattpad private story, and I still do it today (I'm thinking of switching to a physical journal though, experimenting if it works for me!)
this could not have come at a better time thank you I love this ❤️❤️ I’m going on 3 months of journaling soon, love you have a blessed and beautiful weekend ❤️
This was really needed Reese . There are Many times I wanted to start journaling but after some days or say I lost urge or interest in them this really help me . Hope this time I'll maintain a journal ❤️😃 Love you always Kanishka ❤️
thank you for saying journaling doesn't have to be profound 😩 I feel like in so many other videos people seem to talk down on just stream of conscious journaling or just recording life events (whether they intend to or not) and it makes me feel dumb (which I shouldn't let it but always working on that...) but sometimes that's literally all I need. Profound growth and revleaions don't really come to me while I'm writing In a book but rather when I'm experiencing something or spending time in prayer. I'm so glad journaling is a place of growth and revelation for others, but that's really not what it is to me and that's okay! there are no rules to journaling! just write! ✍🏼
Hi just wanted to say that i've been on and off with journaling for a couple of years. I always saw it as something that people did aesthetically and made it look so pretty and etc etc. This video really helped open my eyes a little bit more on that subject. Cuz now i write poetry very very frequently and even formed a club. But just wanted to say this video was really helpful so thank you
Trying to write a story about journaling so thank you for your video! Took notes as you were talking😅 anyways have a wonderful time journaling beautiful
im 2 pages away from finishing my first journal and ive seen so much change in myself maybe its because of covid swell but i overall feel so much happier within
I really wanna start journaling expect my journal isn’t about me.I’m actually writing it where I insert myself as my one of favourite characters and write the story as if she is writing it
I used to have a journal I would right In but I don’t write in it much anymore but I do have another journal where I put pictures of stuff like celeb crushes and stuff I like I can’t really explain it. But I want to actually write again too!
Through out the past 3-4 years, I would journal then stop and then get back in to it. The last time I journal was a few months ago. I love journaling but I can't stick to it.
I've been journaling since 2014 (i was 14 back then) and it has literally helped me come out of depression when i was 15 . I cannot emphasise it enough how therapeutic it can be to just let go of your thoughts that make you miserable.
Social media has created this image that journaling has to be pretty and aesthetic and i think that's something that stops a lot of people from starting. It doesn't have to be like that! Just write! Write in book, in a notebook, at the back of your grocery receipt! Anywhere! The point is to empty your head and take it all out! Just start and i know you'll see a difference!
I used to journal and had someone who went thru my stuff, took it out my bag and read it.. they told everyone things about me I didn't want anyone knowing. I want to get back to it but I feel like I have to be someone how I'm not and write with the thought someone will get a hold of it :( and I only feel comfortable writing in a physical book rather than a document online
Thanks for a great video! Can you post a link to a journal book with -- hard cover, large size, thick paper, college ruled, journal book on amazon?? I'm not having any luck finding one. Thanks
I loved this video! I’ve been wanting to expand my journaling beyond brain dumps and this was so helpful :) ALSO I’m curious what your sign is...I’m getting Aries/Virgo energy from you but maybe I’m just saying that bc I’m a Virgo sun Aries moon lol
I kept a journal when I was 10 years old. I wrote my inner most secret thoughts in there. I hid my journal as I didn’t trust any of my family members with these precious self-sharings. My mother found my journal and openly shared the contents with other family members and outsiders ! Not a good outcome!
do you journal in silence or with music or something on in the back? sometimes I feel like journaling but also don’t feel like turning off Netflix lol and obviously like you said there’s no right or wrong way to journal, but I’m just curious what you do when journaling🤔☺️
I've been journaling since summer 2018, and my favorite thing to look back at right now are "currentlies". Every couple of days, I will write down a current read, current favorite song, a tv show I am watching, a food/drink I am enjoying. It's so fun to look back at what I was enjoying at a certain time!
love that!! i kinda do that with my lists, i’ll write a list of all the things i’m living recently and like you said it’s fun to look back on!
This sounds fun! I should include that in my journal
this is such a fun idea i can’t wait to incorporate for myself! thanks for sharing 💘
I love that. Might do that too
Thank youuu for this amazing ideas
me, who’s journaled every day for the last year: how ✍🏻 to ✍🏻 start ✍🏻
hahahhahaha
Sameee
Same; sometimes these types of videos have messages one can forget after doing it for a while
i’ve done it for 6 years but all of these videos are about how to start but you can always learn something
I’ve been journaling every day
it's hard to start but once you do there is no coming back
literally
I've been journaling since I was 5 and I've never stopped. Literally don't know life without it
Omg that was 3 years ago. Happy to say still journalling to this day hahah
😂😂 yeah i have a hard time continuing and to do it often
I have a dump journal that I write whenever I feel super anxious and is literally shaking. I also don't have expectations and writing is a mess. I like it because I don't hold back so much and it's better than telling people.
i have one of those too omg, tho i dont use it that much anymore because im in a better place now. Now i mostly use it for processing grief bc those thoughts are too sad to be in my pretty journal and i dont want that grief being in my main journal haha
same!!!
Great idea 💡
journalling has taught me to enjoy being alone and connecting with myself. I would love to know how journaling has helped you!
sameee here🤍
same here it helps organized my thoughts too
I use to journal when I was 12-13 and i loved writing in it especially because it helped me during the toughest time of my life. but my stepmom found out and read everything in it (i was traumatized) and shed use the things i wrote in it against me. im 21 now and i still have a hard time writing now but your videos are really helping me get back into that mindset so thank you so so much. btw i recently found out about your channel and i can't stop watching your videos. love your content!

I used to journal like crazy, and sometimes I do have moods so I type those on my notes app, but this year I am definitely going to jump back into it.
I do both. First I write it in my notes app because it's easier to type everything I feel and think because it's faster, and when when I write it down in my journal its just understanding more of my thought process and then I let go after it's on paper
Journaling is life changing! After I journal, I feel like I have just said a prayer.

I think this is the realest and most relatable journaling vlog

Thank you. This was really helpful.
I loved this video! Thanks girl ! Dani Dee Journals on Amazon are cute and cheap! They're about dreams and gratitude!
omg hi i was just reading your blog post
Through out the past 3-4 years, I would journal then stop and then get back in to it. The last time I journal was a few months ago. I love journaling but I can't stick to it.
it’s okay! i was the same way for years until i really started picking it up
Got this notification whILE I WAS WRITING IN MY JOURNAL !😂

can you talk more about shadow work
do you journal in silence or with music or something on in the back? sometimes I feel like journaling but also don’t feel like turning off Netflix lol and obviously like you said there’s no right or wrong way to journal, but I’m just curious what you do when journaling🤔☺️
i usually journal in silence but sometimes i journal with like meditation music playing!
i like journaling with netflix on lol idk why
Iv’e been journaling. Everyday since 2nd grade aka 3 year’s ago
i been journaling since 2017
Hello, @basicallyreese
Where do you purchase your journals?
Do you still bullet journal?
i do! i have a separate journaling for my “to-dos” and planning - it’s not as artsy as i used to make it though, it’s very simple
Awesome
Every time I try to journal my mind goes blind.
sometimes i just start writing random, nonsense things until my brain finds a path or topic and just goes with it
my grandfather read my journal and the worst part was that he thought I was writing a book and that the traumas in it were not mine 😐
I want to start but my life is so boring so their is nothing to journal about I do nothing except go to classes
that’s okay!! write about literally anything, doesn’t always have to be about your day
@@basicallyreese thank you am going to try it for a week and see
