What are your favorite prompts and questions to answer in your journal? Especially as we get to the end of the year, how do you go about reflecting and goal setting?

I am always afraid of pouring out my feelings in my journal, for fear that any of my family members might peek when I’m outside. I want my journal to be my safe space but this prevents me from doing so. How do you deal with this?

The last few holidays where I have been able to spend it with family (close friends and family) we had a great time, chatted or played games into the night, woke up and run errands together/rally kids for the planned activities etc. Despite my plans to, I never can seem to find the time to journal (or have time when my energy is drained so I just want to sleep). I dont want to cut into the social time with people I love and barely see, but I also feel a little bad about all the blank pages.

I will put in mini photos afterwards, but it's nice to have the writing to accompany it...

Do you ever have such a bad day that you don’t want to journal it because you don’t want to be reminded off it?? XD

Some days, I just like to drive somewhere with my cat, sit in the car, and journal while he watches the birds

I started journaling when I was 16, but I can’t maintain it and quit for a while. Recently many problems happened and I want to back to journal to keep my mind with positive things

trying to do more fun things in my journal! recommendations are welcome. i wanna spice it up

Not quite end of year wrap up but it always does feel good to close out a journal near the end of the year.

Finished the last journal just 1 month before the new year so had to start it. Items Pen: Parker Vector Rollerball Journal: Muji A5 Grid Open Flat Notebook

Please recommend any new year or new journal prompts Wish me Luck!!!

I’d like to cut the cans I have and insert them into my journals (or store them all together in a little box), but when I cut them, they obviously stay curved and are impossible to attach to the journal or store them together. How can I flatten them? Also, if you have any ideas on how to deal with the sharp edges, it would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: they are soda cans!

And I did get a mental breakdown from studying.

whenever i study, i have thoughts that i'm going too slow or not doing things right or procrastinating etc. i've used my journal to write those thoughts down and why i think i'm having them and what i can do to help stop them, are there any tips or prompts that you would also recommend?

It's December spread show off day guys. Everyone please post yours. I'm tired of looking only at the picture perfect ones.

For some reason, my december covers are always pretty.🤭 At least for me. ;)

I was dating this person who 3 months into dating read my journal & then confronted me about the things I wrote in it & demanded I apologize or they’d break up with me. I ended up apologizing for writing in my journal & we moved on. She, however, told all her friends & parents what I had written in my journal. She ended up reading my journal AGAIN & getting mad about what I wrote in it. And then for the months following, anytime she was mad she would bring up what I had written in the journal to say I was putting her down or that I can’t be trusted. I ended up breaking up with her…what would you do in this situation?

Does anyone here travel journal? I’d love to know what you guys do. I think I’m gonna have a journal section and a scrapbook section for my travel journals because I never know how much to write and where to leave spaces for train tickets, post cards and other little keepsake things. I’d love some inspiration!

I often find myself using my journal as a means of processing and expressing things I would never actually tell that someone. In the past during frustrating work meetings, I’ve used writing to release the distaste and to relax my visibly horrified face. Recently while in a newer relationship, I commonly feel triggered with attachment ish… writing has been fairly helpful. A big part of this process is letting all my thoughts out, regardless of how mean it is. I’ve been working on this defense of using my words to cut people and believe writing has minimized my tendency to verbally destroy when feeling threatened.

I am a mental health professional and am very familiar with things like “the letter I’ll never send” but this has felt slightly different. I was hesitant at first because I don’t like expressing this side of me but I think that it has been overall helpful. Does anybody have any similar experience or suggestions with this style?
