Well, here’s mine! 🥰 Keep your fingers crossed for me please! 🤞🏻

I don’t particularly love my spread here. I feel it’s too crowded but we all have one of those days. 😅 It is what it is and I’m rolling with it. No one is perfect! 🥰

Journal prompt from The Coffee Monsterz Co

Ignore the bad handwriting, honestly I’d be kinda impressed if people can read it. Though I am working on it.

Anyone else journal in their planner? Or a binder type system. It makes it so easy to switch pages around and add more etc..

Hi all, I’ve been journaling for a couple of years now but my entries consist exclusively of documenting my day, daily plans, and talking about media I’ve read/watched (opinions). Whenever I mention my feelings I keep it extremely brief and vague - like I feel as though someone might read it despite living alone.

I want to start being more emotional in my entries as a means of venting so it’s more cathartic for me but I’m not sure where to start?

I’m sorry if this has been asked before ! TIA

The four big lessons from a decade of journaling.

1. Writing a journal is primarily about the act of writing. If all my entries were written in vanishing ink, I would still write. Almost all the positive-ness of journaling is in the act of writing things down.
2. Life has a surprisingly rich texture. One way to notice this is to learn to note and savour the texture through journaling. There are so many experiences worth noting. Family, friends, strangers, the weather, books, ideas, plans, longings, etc, etc, ad infinitum.
3. A journal is a place to store stuff. It is a reliable storage location for all sorts of treasures: stories, quotes, milestones.
4. A journal gives you a reason to get things right and care about details. Is the name McDonald or MacDonald? Did we ride a bus or a streetcar?

Just began my self-improvement journey. I'm also a writer. Now I'm not trying to break any rules here, but I'm thinking about documenting my progress and making it available to the general public. I'll include the up's, the down's and everything I learn about myself along the way. I won't sugar coat anything either. I think being honest and open with everyone about even the worst parts of myself might be a good tool for me to heal and grow.

I might also be a good read for those who are dealing with similar issues.

What do you guys think?

Does anyone have any suggestions or tips?

ya find some or one

I'm both excited and scared to destroy this thing.

I am setting intent and starting my day with my morning journal- about to grind beans for coffee put on some music and work on my latest manga story - today's my lazy day so I'll me nom nom Banana bread rice balls and sake and playing my games later on . But for now - i want to set intent. .. be grateful....and get a few things done. Journal is out of the way now and it always feels good to accomplish in the morning.

I now want...to also broaden my vocabulary and choose a new word each day that I don't know? - to practice and learn .

Any suggestions for today's word feel free to comment something I might not know yet? 😅 I'm open to hear some ideas.

Best wishes in your writing today everyone don't forget to write...even if just to say I don't wanna write today 😉

How can I make my journal look good and improve my writing in the journal.

Anyone else deep in their Saturn Return? Or in a major depressive episode? Me too!

Had a weird day and needed to get it on paper.

I’ll share the quote I ended with y’all since my handwriting is hard to read:

“We are humanity. We are the ride. And today we reclaim the lives that have been stolen from us.” -Pierce Brown, Morning Star

That quote just settled deep in my soul today. Rise up or die trying, I suppose. What else is there?

I kept losing motivation last year so this time im gonna try my best and write as much as i can

Hello. I just started my first journal and need some advice on my layout. So far, all I've done is used the journal as my diary to write about my day and and about how I am feeling. It's actually been very therapeutic and I am very glad I started writing. Also, I do list just a few long term and short te goals I want to achieve. The thing is, I want to do more than that, I want it to be place where I express myself. I just feel like my current journal is too bland and not really what I had in mind. Another thing is that I think the entire book is super unpleasing to the eye. If possible, I would like to add some colors to it or something to make it so that I an actually bear to look back at it. Any advice on these two things?

Hey! I've never done any sort of journaling, but I want to start as I'm a singer-songwriter and I've found that just writing whatever comes to mind tends to randomly result in some great stuff. I'm looking for something i can both write and draw in, unlined, sturdy, easy to write in. Preferably on the bigger side.

Would also appreciate some recs on pens on the thicker, marker-tip side that will write satisfying-ly. :)

Sorry for the poor handwriting and grammar… but is this what journaling is?
