    I do this thing called morning pages. where every morning I write a minimum of 3 pages in my journal. I do 3 because by the end of the first page I'm really inside my head and I work out quite a few things. I usually do it when I first wake up too so I start the day with a fresh mind. thanks for this video I'm glad I'm not the only journal obsessed person around here :)

    For all those who don't always find the time but want to see their development over the years: There is an 'One line a day' journal which can be bought on the Internet. It's like a calendar over 5 years and it's got 5 boxes per day to write in, so after 5 years you can read one phrase of septembre 5th in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 e.g. It's great!

    OK. First of all, I have to tell you that you are so SPECIAL! And you're just a kid! I have got to follow you so that I can see how you turn out. You're talented. You're brilliant. You're a natural in front of the camera. You're sweet & caring. You're a shining star. It's 7 PM & this is the first time I've laughed all day. What am I talking about! This is the first time I've laughed out loud in days & days. Your video came up automatically because I was trying to find a good method of bullet journaling in order to be more organized - not your type of journaling at all. I went part-way through 5 or 6 videos before yours, & I was falling asleep in my chair. OMG, why are so many boring people, with nothing to say, who don't even know where to place their cameras, making videos??? And why are people watching them????? I am so happy that I found you, & I can't wait to see what you have to say next.

    my problem when journaling is that i hardly ever use the same notebook when journaling. I'll buy a new notebook, write on the first five pages, then toss it aside and buy a new one lol. I recently got a new hardcover journal that i've actually been loyal to, and it's the second hardcover i've used. i had one when i was 12-13 and every time i go back and look at it, im thoroughly entertained. I use my journals for diaries, song writing, and novel ideas. journaling is very fun to me, and i intend to get into it more.

    I’m 13 and I’ve been journaling since the start of 2016 and I’ve completed 2 big chunky books so far and will hopefully continue to write journals till I’m older, if you’re ever stuck on what to write about here are some journal prompts - Journal prompts ✨☁️ * write about all the zodiac signs. What they are like, have you met any, what they are in your life (best friend, friend etc) * Pick a year, maybe a year you/ friend/family was born find our important things that happened that year. The top song that played on the radio, the movie that won at the Oscars, any notable inventions? * Draw a alternative world. Maybe it’s the same current world but some of the people have horns? Maybe it’s a world in a hour glass? * Are you superstitious? If yes write/draw about your biggest superstition if no, write/draw about one that interests you. * Write/draw about how you feel at 3am. - Hope you find these helpful! Always remember that you don’t need to write about something “important” journaling can be about just letting your emotions out or making something creative it’s really up to you because after all this is YOUR journal and you are in charge just think of it as your space where you can express yourself however you would like! - If you’ve wanted to start journaling but want inspiration or even if you already journal I really want you to watch sosonia’s video on the channel “soulpancake” about journaling. whenever I’m out of inspiration or just want a creative boost I watch her journal flip through and it gets my juices flowing! I was on Pinterest the other day when I came across a paragraph about journaling and it really inspired me to get back to journaling when I wasn’t really feeling it so here is the paragraph! - I tell everyone this and I mean it. Buy a journal. Carry it with you wherever you go. And I mean everywhere. Write about your favourite moments, your least favourite moments, ideas, grocery lists, people you’ve met, strangers you’ve walked pass on the street, favourite quotes, words to remember, what the sky looked like at 7pm, new songs you’ve discovered and what they mean to you, your childhood, places you want to go to or places you have been, how you feel in the exact moment, draw out the mountains, scribble over the pages and then when it gets full, buy a new one. Reread it in 2 years, 20 years, when you need a good laugh, when you’re crying on the bathroom floor, read it to your children. You need to remember these moments in you’re life. They are so important. - Hope you found all this helpful and remember, all you need is a pen and a journal 😌

    I'm turning 23 and a part of me regrets not keeping a journal even though I tried so many times. Another part of me is actually thankful because I was very self destructive and severely depressed , and reading through it now would most likely trigger me. Watching this video I realized there are many types of journaling that I could have done that wasn't necessarily exclusive to internal thoughts and emotions. The kind of journaling I regret not keeping is definitely the lists and prompts and fanfiction and art and video game ideas.. You've really encouraged me to go back and start over. I love how passionate you are here, it shows a part of your personality that you usually hide with sarcasm. I hope you get to where you wanna go in life because you really deserve it (even though at the beginning I didn't get it and considered you to be just another privileged white person who has been able to do so many things in life but was still being a privileged white person about it. I understand it a lot better now, especially from your tumblr)

    This was such an interesting and unique video. I have been journaling sporadically since ~2007 on my computer. I just keep folders for each year and create word documents for each day. That works out really well for me because then I can go back and see how I was doing a year ago on that date. It's therapeutic because I can see how much I've grown and developed over time, as well as themes that have permeated my entries for years. When I was younger (age 8-14) I used to write in paper journals. I still have all those. They're painful to look at because I was going through hard times, but I'm glad I still have them.

    I keep a journal and I try to update it a couple times a week. A lot of it is just stickers and rants, but I also talk about my life. I try to doodle in it but it's a mess XD I actually really enjoy it, but for some reason I randomly go through a long period of time without writing in one and I just end up buying a new journal. I need to learn to actually finish them! And looking back at old journals is so fun for me because I was really weird kid lol...you never know what you'll find in there..

    I loved your video! You were so on point! I used to keep a Journal until I was about 18 years old, and then I stopped because I thought that I had nothing else to say. Now, I'm trying to pick up that old habit back. The scary, and most beneficial, part (at least for me) is that you really have to be honest with yourself and ready to talk through pen and paper. It's not easy, but so worth it!

    I LOVE THIS VIDEO. I have a lot of journals that I've kept since I was fourteen. I had more before then, but I think they were thrown away - we have moved a lot since then, I miss them, I wish every child to keep their most valued items like journals or a teddy bear because they're going to be upset later on. I needed that advice, thank you, I never write because I feel like nothing I write is interesting and stuff. I loved it. Also, with the art journalling - do it anyway. it doesn't matter if you're bad at art.

I only started journaling a lot since September 7th of 2014 but I love it! I love my journal even though it's not the happiest cause I have been going through some stuff right now but I'm still happy to write in it when I need to. I can't wait to see what my next adventure will be when I have to start a new journal. Its adventure that takes you so many places in you mind and is fun. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't start journaling. I loved this video. It should inspire more people to just pick a journal and write!

    I love your idea for having a journal to write down things you've learned. Im a high school student and I keep a journal where I write down everyday after school, what did I learn today? Sometimes I wrote down the title of each class I had then write down everything I learned in that class, like a summary. It's how I study because I go over my notes as a reminder and its really helpful since I started it I remember like everything I learn in school.

    I loved your video! I keep a journal too. I don't write in it as much as I would like to but you inspired to keep writing and perhaps search journaling topics as you suggested. I love it because it's a nice experience when you look back at what you have written. I keep two seperate journals; one is only happy thoughts and the other one is to write down my negatibe thoughts. I think writing in journals is therapeutic in expressing your negative emotions in a healthy way.

    I started writing a diary when I was 16/17, I was going through quite a tough time and felt like I had no-one to talk to so I thought it would be a good way to get my thoughts out. Writing really helped and now 6/7 years later, it is really great to be able to look back over what I was doing and what I thought. Apart from really helping at the time, I think it also puts things into perspective. If something is bothering you, you know you're probably going to think it was a silly thing to be annoyed/bothered about in the future. I still write in it now but not very often, although I would like to change that after seeing this video!

Now I'm into planning and I have 3 planners: my Smithsonian for appointments and important personal info; a Happy Planner for birthdays only; and a Happy Planner that I've been trying to figure out how to use. You have inspired me to use it as a planner/journal! Thank you for sharing about your journals. My #3 should have enough room to keep up with non-business events and to journal everyday. The boxes on the daily spreads should be perfect for writing down short notes about events or just random thoughts or grateful thoughts! Thank you so much!

So instead of killing the idea of journaling i decided to keep a dream journal and i can decorate it! also to me dreams are way more interesting because anything is possible. please leave a comment telling me what you think about my idea.

If you think something is cool, if you like the idea, go for it!! You will never regret trying something. And dont give up on journaling! My friend has dyslexia and ADD too, but she keeps a journal and loves it. Go for it, have fun with it! Write about your day. My own journal isnt interesting to anyone else, its interesting to ME because its MY life and MY thoughts. Good luck!

So if you do not spell something right or announce to your book that you aren't perfect guess what it stays in the book! :} Have fun with it and don't worry what others could possibly think about it. They can only know that you have it if you show them!

I'm so glad that you decided to show us your journals and talk about them really in-depth, which was something that I appreciate because they're so personal. Also, I'm happy to see that you love art and feed your love for it even though you don't consider yourself an artist. I've been drawing for my entire life (I'm eleven) and you just need to keep practicing. I've had gaps where I was little and kinda stupid and let myself become dis-encouraged by older and better artists. Just keep practicing :).

    Really liked this video :) I also have some journals that I never touched, because they felt too pretty to be tainted by my writing. This is primarily not because my handwriting is ugly, although it is not particularly nice looking. It is because after writing how I feel about something, looking at it kind of changes how I feel. So I put a lot markers akin to proofreading annotations and add/alter thoughts. The end result does not look pretty like it is seen on some videos. I sometimes also throw some of the pages away when the whole alteration process goes awry. It is for those reasons that I settled for loose white sheets that I collect in a folder. Some day I will have to have them bound. I suppose I am a guy, whose process is not fit for a hard bound embellished journal, who wants to journal anyway.

I have like hundreds of notebooks and sketchbooks that are just waiting for their purpose in life because I bought too many in the past hahaha. Right now I am using the Midori Travelers Notebook for my thoughts, personal advice to myself and a food diary. And I like the system so much that I have to find another purpose for the other notebooks that I own .. And I know the feeling of reading old thoughts of yourself. Sometimes I am even too embarrassed of myself to keep that old journal. But I like to get to know my old self too ;)

    I found your channel around December of last year (2015), and this video actually inspired me to start writing! (I've loved writing since I was a kid, but never really evolved myself as a writer) For now, I keep two journals, one personal and one that's basically what inspires me, list of things I like and whatnot ! I don't write daily, but I write about 2-4 pages when I do in my personal journal, and add things to my Inspiration journal when I can. I also bought an art journal, which for now consists of the things I've collected over the years (fortune cookie fortunes, stickers, random things I find). Thank you for the inspiration !
