    Weirdly enough, I finally kept up with journaling when I started to do it in English (which is not my native language), somehow having to focus more on my words but also less (cause I don't feel the need to make it as "pretty" as I do in French (my native language), so for people who struggle that might worth a try :) I love that you mentioned that we should journal the way it works for us, just setting priorities in the morning is journaling already

    I never actively thought about the language I journal but now I see a pattern. When I am really really down and trying to process big events and traumas (like losing loved ones) I write in my native language. Every time I am trying to write positive plans and goals that I am excited for, all my writings are in English

    I finally got consistent when I focused on my love of classical literature, poetry, history, and philosophy. I gather ideas, make connections, reflections, incorporate quotes and eventually added a section for one sentence per day prompt "what did I learn today or this week" that may or may not be related to literature or art. It's a joy, never heavy or burdensome. I don't have a set time, but keep it nearby. When I'm not home, I might make a note on my phone or paper, then add to my journal (more commonplace book, I suppose, than journal). Now I'm ready to experiment with prompts. Thanks for sharing!

    Once again saying lots of things that make a ton of sense but that never would have occurred to me! The idea about using prompts until you build up the practice is particularly insightful -- it makes me think of how after going to a bunch of yoga classes I got to the point where I could jam out solo without having to be like "this feels weird, am i doing it right?" which is a point I'd like to get to with journaling. Thank you!!

    i liked how you delved into the different forms of journaling as well as the mediums through which they can be done. i'm going to experiment with them during this month ❤ i feel like having these different approaches/mediums would make journalibg more accessible depending on your energy/mood/specific way you want to express yourself on that day etc. i think one thing that helped me with daily reflective journaling was noting down the mundane. things you noticed/heard/saw, a doodle, your fave song that day etc become small brush strokes painting the canvas of that day imo the blank page perfectionism thing is a pain tho lol so hard when you want the journal to look cute too hehe

    Very well presented Daria. Despite being passionate about writing, I find reflective journaling about daily activities very redundant as a lot of days our daily activities are repetitive. But whenever I visit a place or experience something new, I make a journal out of it and keep it as a souvenir. How do you journal about a book? I mean just your opinion about the content or summary points. Totally admire your tips about consistency. Will certainly try lighting the candles, especially in these winter months when the energy level already feels down.
