I know you said not to dwell on the negative but the most important (and secret, my son has orders to burn it if something happens to me) is my B*itch journal. I grew up in an alcoholic family and after attending a women's workshop that was very intimate and private, several of the women commented that I seemed very angry. So now whenever I get really upset over something out comes Miz B and I lay it all out, bad words and all. I can get totally ridiculous and be wrong on my opinion (in hindsight and that is the key, I can now see that in myself) but it releases that valve and I can then let it go and not take it out on my husband or something else. It has been the best thing I have ever done and after two years of her I find I use her less and less as I grow into myself and leave all the abandonment issues and anger behind. Thanks for reading. Love this topic.

I consider both my journals and my books, my friends =) They're just always there when you need them...

I have what I call my Dr Martha, she is like the mentor but one who has helped process the deep hurts with postitvity in my art, writings and journaling. She can appear in many of my journals by starting with a silly drawing, then naming the drawings and writing about it. Most of them are silly monsters, it started about 3 years ago when I was going through a very deep dark place in my life and a way for me to not stay in the dark place is to bring light starting with a silly drawing🤗

I think your idea to categorize your journals is definitely a GOOD idea!!! I always felt one journal is enough but after watching this it makes sense to me to have more than one! Like you said, every journal has a use or focus and separating their purpose can definitely be useful for whatever mind set you are in. If your feeling creative then the art journal is the best one to use. Thank you for being so specific on the different type of journal “friends”! =)

I do the same with my Jesus journal- I love to put in my prayers and worries and when He speaks to me. This was such a fun video and gave me a great perspective on how we view our journals. Great job 🙂

I love the idea of the “ friends “ in notebooks. Also someone mentioned they named theirs and I super love that and will be doing that now 😅

[Chastyre]

I have my personal journal called 'my inner self' it can be weird to call my journal as that ...it is becuz I consider that as my own inner self which I can see through my words...that makes my thoughts tangible touchable and readable..that a iam seeing myself..my healing process!!! I love it! 😘😘😘💜💜

So...I'm really not crazy for having over 25 journals and 5 planners???

[loveniuk]

This was great, in fact, u helped me to realise something, that I was slowly getting use to. The idea of having several journals for different purposes, it's totally my thing <3 Thank you

I know I'm watching 4 yrs later but would like to say, I love your idea of treating journals as friends. And different types of friends. It never occurred to me but it resonates.

I have multiple journals that I use too. One has to have a love of writing, reading, & art to understand this. I 💖💖💖 this!

I’m the same way about color, font and how messy or how good my writing is. I notice when I look back I see my writing is perfect or not so. When I’ve painted I see, How I was feeling, what was trying to come through,

4:37 I absolutely love this block-colored piece

OMG the negative/gossip journal reminds me of Regina George’s burn book!! 😂😂😂

[emilyec]

I didn’t think I had that many journals but now I’m thinking about I guess I do😂
I don’t use all of them all the time I currently use 5 journals:
1. Thoughts/ feelings/ what I did today type of journal (this is my most used)
2. Gratitude journal 🙏🏻
3. Art/ collage journal
4. Bullet journal (of course)
5. A journal that doesn’t really have a name but it’s a composition notebook I’ve had for 5 years now that I write my favorite music in for each month 🙂

I think it’s cool to hear what journals other people use so I wanted to share too!

Writing literally helped me to save my life. It is a habit that I love and respect. I enjoyed and agreed with the fabulous way you introduced the topic. Muchísimas gracias!

[kelmar]

I'm new to your channel and so glad that I stumbled upon it.

This video was SO well done. I understand myself better because of watching this. I love planners, notebooks and journals. The guilt over having several at one time is over.

Thank you!
