"Journaling is spending very high quality time with myself" - that is such a good way to put it, so true, thank you, Jenn!

Do you read minds? I was thinking last night that I should start writing because I feel like I have built up anger and it’s effecting people I love. That’s not me 😭

Sammee!! Idk maybe AI have developed to the point they can read our minds to recommend us stuff 🤔😂

This is really helpful! Honestly, I've been told many times to journal to process my emotions but could not, for the life of me, get into it until I watched one of your older videos where you shared your morning journal prompts. This is way more in-depth but not overwhelming to me as you provide such practical advice that can be implemented easily. Also, really happy to see how much journaling has benefitted you over the years. Loving your recent self-care routines videos! They've been inspiring to watch.

Hiii, please can you link the video that you mentioned in your comment?

Jenn! Thank you so much for making this video and being vulnerable with us. As always, I really appreciate your authenticity. I've been trying to journal daily for a while now, and this definitely motivated me.

I've only recent gotten back into journalling, and you posted this at the most perfect timing. This is SO insightful and encouraging! I definitely used to do the typical "dear diary... today this and this and this happened" approach which never really felt practical or much fun to write. Most of the times, I can't even recall what happened and it all becomes almost a chore to try and remember the day, just to be able to record it down! I love the 'spotlight entries' idea. I love all your ideas! Thank you so much, Jenn!🖤

We are gonna always trust Jenn for feeding us with quality content. Thank you so much Jenn for this video. I've been journaling for almost 5 months now and I'm still inconsistent with it but I'm improving and I believe I will soon become consistent. This video provided the needed inspiration for me to never stop journaling. Lots of love to you ❤🍀

This video was awesome. I loved how you provided real examples of each type of journal entry. Your videos are always so thoughtfully made, and that’s exactly why I’ve been subscribed for years. Thank you Jenn! You’ve inspired me to start journaling.

i’ve been journalling for about a year now. i go thru phases of being super consistent and periods where i don’t journal at all. it’s such a treat reading back my old entries because i have a tendency to suppress negative thoughts. it’s also helped me rely less on others because once i’ve vented it somewhere, i don’t feel the need to repeat it. thank you for all the tips jenn! i still get intimidated by writing paragraphs so i will definitely be incorporating lists to capture all of the micro memories/thoughts 🫶🏼

Ahh, nothing like those days when you re-read your old entires! So happy that you've caught the journaling bug too! (:

After viewing your videos, I've started writing daily morning affirmations, and I find myself in complete agreement with every word in this video! Articulating and noting down my thoughts, anxieties, and aspirations has helped me in facilitating a deeper self-understanding and clarity about the path I should be pursuing. This habit also serves as a valuable personal log full of insightful data, which allows me to reflect on my personal evolution. I'm grateful for your endeavor to spread these helpful personal development strategies! Love from South Korea 😘

I've watched this video multiple times since you uploaded it because I'm SO inspired, but so lazy! Commenting here to keep myself accountable, my new journaling journey starts today. Thank you, Jenn, for being an incredible story teller. You always say the right thing at the most opportune times in a stranger's life 💕

i love journaling bc it has so many different forms: songwriting, diary entries, reflections. it helps me sort out what i'm thinking and explore why i'm thinking it. love u jenn!!!!

thank you jenn! you have really been a catalyst to my selfcare journey. your content has always been so informative and helpful. always happy to see new longform videos from you 💗

Journaling is indeed so powerful. I have been journaling since my early 20’s. I am in my late 30’s now and it still has helped me in different and very difficult points in my life when I suffered through anxiety, depression, and recently postpartum depression. I feel confident to say that I may be closer to the other side of my mental health battle and it’s cause of journaling, affirmations, meditation, podcast and counseling.

As someone going through a hard time, watching your videos help uplift me because you provide tangible advice that anyone can do at home. I've always had a passion for journaling to help process difficult situations and emotions. I also really needed to hear the scientific reason why it is hard to break old habits and how journaling helps us override these automated neural pathways we've created. Thank you, Jenn, for helping to heal us and for being an advocate for self-love & care

This video made me think a lot of things. But the biggest takeaway is: the courage, honesty and vulnerability you showcase in your content is awe-inspiring. Its so refreshing to see youve managed to keep it real throughout these years.

I just loooove your videos, and i've done so for 5 years approx. There isn't many creators that i've loved watching that much for so long ❤ thank you thank you for your work in these, the quality is crazy❤❤

I'm happy to see how you broke down the different strategies to journaling. I'm sure it will be very helpful for many of your viewers and I'm glad it has helped you with your self-growth. Thank you so much for putting together this thoughtful video and even sharing your personal struggles with journaling :)

Jenn I started journaling because of you years ago (still have that screenshot of 7 morning journaling questions in my phone!) thanks for creating all these quality content for years

Jenn! It’s affirming to hear someone talk about how truly difficult it is to change life long habits or behaviors- things really do become so engrained over time. I love the nine specific prompts about implementing a habit/behavior change. It makes it feel easier to actually answer and try to do. I’m going to incorporate this into my self care routines for the next few weeks and see how it helps with something I’ve been struggling with for a long time. 🤞🏽 Thanks for the unique and thoughtful content.

Thank you so much for this video, Jenn!! The ideas were very useful prompts for starting to write (as sometimes it is hard to find inspiration). The video was so well put together as well. You are a star!

This is crazy, I searched your channel for a journalling how to the other day because I could've sworn youd already made one! At a very transformative stage in my life right now, so excited to take this one board xxx

I love your work so much! So much work goes into your work, I love the more chill ones and the complex ones! I love your creativity, cinematography and especially storytelling! You are amazing 🤍

Dang Jenn! This is one of my recent favourite videos from you 🥰 Thank you so much for sharing all these tips. I'm now super encouraged and excited to implement them~

This was such a well thought out video! I especially liked the part about addressing issues as if you were talking to a friend you deeply care about! We’re always so hard on ourselves and that gives us a better lens for us to move forward with. It broke my heart to read your entries about how you felt about your weight, I knew it would be a bit factor in your life since you’re so visible as part of your work, but I really hope you feel more at peace with your weight because you’re absolutely beautiful and here I am wishing I could look like you!

loved this video and all the tips, Jenn! 💖 thank you for sharing such intimate details of what you were going through in your past, too 🥺

I just wrote down in my journal what I’ve learned from this video ❤ thanks, Jenn, as always for inspiring me! 😊

Who get exited every time Jenn post a new video?! I love her💞 Positive vibes to everybody here!!!

this cannot have come at a better time ❤❤❤ i have been feeling like i need to get deeper into my feelings thru journaling but not sure on the prompts i should make use of. thank you for this video jenn!

jenn, i been watching you for years now and although i took a break from your page. coming back reminded why i watch you. your genuine, sweet and so so real. we all can be a lil spicy and we all have room for growth. i just want to say how proud i am of you!!! your growth in many aspects is beautiful. keep going🫶🏼

really love micro memories and therapeutic journalling. thank you

hello jenn!! love your videos always ❤ thanks for sharing the joy of journaling. i have been journaling all my life!

It was so informative and inspiring as always! I wrote a diary as a kid and when I had my darkest times (it really helped!), and after watching your videos I’ve started morning pages, gratitude journal, a therapy and then suggested my friends to do it as well. Sharing is caring ❤

Thank you so much for these journaling prompts! I love how you're building a healthier relationship with yourself. 🥰 You be the best bestie you can be to yourself ♥

You’ve described so well what it always felt for me to journal 😮❤

omg you explain so much clearly. it really shows how smart and intelligent you are. thank you so much for sharing this video. will start journaling again.

Using journaling to become my own best friend is the best reason I have ever heard. Thank you!

I think I’ve been journaling my entire life just as a way to get my feelings out because I’ve never really had anyone to talk to about anything… I think it helps you to get to know oneself, it is therapy as Jenn mentioned… Jenn, you deliver such great content! I don’t know how you do over and over! I appreciate your hard work because being a content creator is not an easy job! Much love❤❤❤❤

Same, i am so grateful for journals cause it got me through so many heartbreaks romantic and personal in my early 20s. I had friends who would give me two word advices and I needed a friend who could see my pain and hold my hand. Journal was that friend and still is. ❤

I love your editing!!!! its really helpful and involves the listener so much in the video

I’m so happy to learn new tips and methods from your videos! 🤩 I’ve written journal entries consistently for over 3 years now, and I wholeheartedly agree when you say it’s the BEST form of self-care. Since I value deep, genuine connection in all relationships (romantic, platonic, family, and self) I find that this is the best way to connect with who I was, who I am, and who I want to be ❤ thanks for highlighting the importance of journaling to a wide audience Jenn 🥰 I appreciate the words you have to say! + I think writing journal entries makes a person more appreciative of words of affirmation, which is so important in a relationship with others and yourself! 🫶

Awww, I'm beyond thrilled to hear how journaling has impacted your life for the better too!

What great timing. This week I committed to getting back into journaling!

This is a wonderful video! Thank you for sharing the different ways you journal. I love a gratitude list 😩 It helps me stay grounded and develops the habit of finding the blessings in any situation 💜 AND I love your point on talking to yourself like a close loved one, especially when our minds run rampant with anxious thoughts. This definitely helps w healthy self talk. Thanks again for creating this video!

Thank you Jenn for inspiring and motivating me to start journaling again! I’ve always worried about grammar and structures but not anymoore! ❤

Wow the best journaling video I've seen! The neuroscience behind it all was so interesting. Thanks Jenn!!!

i literally was JUST thinking about starting to do journaling but had no idea where to start, thanks for this jenn!

Your videos just get more and more creative!! Love the good vibes you always have in your vids 🩷

Whilst growing up my mum encouraged me to write a journal (way before it became 'trendy') and it has always helped me to clear my head at the end of a day. I will admit i have fallen short and have been not daily as I have been, which frustrates me as i know and have had so many witnesses of the benefits of writing a journal. So i'm recommitting myself to writing my journal and this video has been insightful and cant wait to share with my Mum the notes I've made. Inspiring video ❤

Of course! Your video inspired me to start journaling. I like writing but I never know where to start. Thank you for all the tips and for listing the benefits of journaling. ✍🏻 I love seeing how it helped and is still helping you 🫶 thank you for your kindness and love from France

I'm so happy u finally uploaded this video! I've been journaling since very young, but it got more intense during college till now. The spotlight entries somehow similar to what I do, but I called it "Daily highlight". I used to write this entry when I do bullet journaling. It was fun! Journaling helps me a lot in different ways. Everytime read back my old writings, it brings back lot of memories and reminds me the person who I am now. Alsoo, this Asus Zenbook is hella amazing! Organize our journaling entries into one place sounds very good, LOL

Such a great video Jenn :) encouraging self love through journaling!!!

Journaling affirmations change my life, thanks for reminding me ❤

What a powerful message! Absolutely! I love writing, any and all forms of it ^w^

Hi Jenn! I’ve been watching your youtube since pandemic. During that time I was very depressed and lost my motivation…😢 But your videos really helped me! Now I finally found my pace and not depressed anymore!😁 Thank you Jenn and I always support you!

This inspires me to start journaling again 🥹 my mental health definitely needs it right now, thank you for this video ❤

Hmmm journaling as a way to become your own best friend. I never thought of it that way and it’s so brilliant. Thank you for this video. I’ve never been one to journal or to do it consistently but this new perspective is motivating me to have a go at it again.

i have an asus and i adore it! thank you for this powerful message. It's inspired me to also journal on my laptop when i just want to get my thoughts down NOW lol i type faster than i write. but for things that i need to cement into my pathways - I'll write it by hand.

Jenn your thumbnails are so pretty and pique my curiosity every time. Thank you for the “big sister friend” video vibes lately! 😊

i’ve journaled since I was 6 years old. my aunt gifted me a cute journal for my last day of school and I’ve been keeping writing logs for 19 years since :)

thank you Jenn, i was thinking i need to journal all again because my mind has been so clustered and felt like i don't have enough time in taking care of myself well and that makes me really sad and think about all the things i could've done and in a positive mindset that i follow through

Beautiful video and useful prompts , thank you. I will write them down in my commonplace book. I love journaling , it is everything ❤

thank you jenn! i followed you recently and benefited from your vlog a lot. 😍journal is a way to talk to myselft. i've been took buntch of self-notes on iphone-record or tweet or hand-writing, when i feel sad/anger/anxious, i will write down the thought, feeling and THE WHY. i realized i got a ability for being friend with my emotion and pull myself out when i was sinked into negetive thinking.😃looking forward your next video

This video really came at the right time for me, thank you!!

oooh, loved this video! ❤ so helpful & insightful~ thank you jenn!

Love your fun and learning content ❤❤❤

Girl, your videos. I love them. Everything about them. 😍

Loved this format of video!!

Journaling really changed my life, maybe I also need to share my journey of course I can’t create masterpiece as yours but I have something to tell❤️

aww this is great timing for me, thx for sharing! i just had my birthday vacation & was more so just chillinn & vibin, so to speak lol. i felt a lil guilty for not doing as much productive/reflective activities such as journaling but i did LIST my fav memories in my planner 💕 & now that im back to reality im definitely in the mood to journal & remember my vacation state-of-mind hehe 🥲

I have been journaling for the past 3 years of my life, and I believe this is what truly changed my life 🌟I hope everyone could understand the power of journaling and practice it daily. Everyone deserves to live their dream life 😌🙏

Hi Jenn, I really appreciate your videos x

Thankyou for making me be more excited about Journaling. Its nice to know that when im journaling, now i have like a clearer picture of what kind of Journaling im doing! Uhhhhhh Thank youuuuuuu 🥰🥰 And i just Loveeeee your videos ♥♥♥

I have published many op-eds and essays-- and I think this video on journalling and writing is very comprehensive and relaxing! Writing is a great and productive way for people to make sense of their thoughts. Some of my more performing arts writer friends prefer to orally record their thoughts and leave an app to transcribe (I don't say my thoughts aloud much so I dont know as much about this method, but it seems useful). Thanks for this video. :)

Hi Jenn, Your videos are inspiring and the best! 👍🏼

Amazing content Jenn! Thank you!

I love your thumbnail 😁 love your advice. You've motivated me to start journaling now.

more journal content i love this

I love journaling cause I overthink and whenever thoughts are piling up, I'll just write my heart out and it helps me so much. Sometimes when writing the strong feelings, it can turn into a poem and that's when I think that I'm align with my thoughts.

Journaling is one of the most effective ways of keeping a reality check in the form of self reflection

I love all your content but I really loved this!! 🫶🏻

This was my favorite video of yours so far! I can't tell you how many videos I've seen where they spoke on journaling and I'd be inspired but not enough to go into action. You truly have sold me, with your thorough explanation, and super-detailed tips. I'm stoked to start my journaling journey ;) I have to give you some major compliments - the way you articulate and share things I adore and appreciate. I think you'd be a great book author that I'd actually read. (another habit I'd like to adopt from you) :P I lost my crap when you were talking about neurons and then how they talk to each other then the "those Jeans (genes

I love this video so much! I really needed it.

Thank you for sharing. It's impressive so , I'm gonna write journal

Jennn!! You should do a podcast!

Literally was thinking about this!

Journaling has been the best tool in my healing and growth, and yes more people should start because its free and freaking effective!!!

Ur such an inspiration ❤love ur content ❤

It’s the way you spoke right to my virgo moon’s heart

Really loved this video! Thanks for sharing your wisdom

I got back into journaling years ago because of you, Jenn! It really does feel like free therapy and I started off each entry with the daily questions you shared before

Thank you Jenn❤

Thank you for these tips these will help me out a lot I hope ur having a great day😊

You sound really great! You sound like a broadcaster. You are well spoken. ❤😊

This was a great reminder of different journaling tactics to try out. Have you considered starting a journaling or writing club along with your book club? Reading and writing vlogs are also great to play in the background.

1) Emptying my head 2) What I learnt today 3) Listing ( gratitude list, to do list, micro-memories) 4)Venting ( this helps in anger management) 5) Habits ( things you want to change, trackers) 6) therapy 7) self- awareness ( helps in self introspection and improve personality)

you always motivates me:) thank you so much!

I love the idea of a self-awareness tracker - genuinely such a smart idea. I used to do something similar in relation to toxic eating habits I had that helped me track progress and eventually limit those episodes! so extending that to how we interpersonal carry ourselves makes so much sense. thanks jenn

Not me thinking her video editor added perfect paper lines in the background behind Jenn to maintain the theme, but her wall is actually just horizontal slats 🤣 Love this video Jenn!!

I use your videos for self improvement and learning English, so helpful ❤

I Just love this vid. I think throught my life i will Come and watch it a few times.

The thumbnail is a mood

Ironically, I’ve been searching for a typewriter. Remember how record players and LPs resurfaced five/six years ago? I’m expecting the same thing for typewriters 💭. There’s just something about them. Wish you had credited the make and model used in your intro- it’s perfect. Great video 💙.
