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

the quality and the storytelling of your videos are just incredible. I'm honestly surprised that you don't have at least 100k subs yet your channel is so underrated, keep up the good work love the videos🙏

the cinematic experience in this video has left me lost in my own admiration :)

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!

Thank you so much for this, this has helped me so so much 💗💗

[maggie]

Love to see how confident you’ve become standing and talking in front of the camera 🫶🏼

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!!

Another super high quality and interesting video. Thank you!

Pisałam dziennik, od momentu, kiedy wiedziałam, że Jesteś...Warto zatrzymywać się na ważnych chwilach. Ważne są te chwile refleksji, wglądu...Kolejny dar ❤❤😊😊

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

Just found your chanel today when I was desperately needed a change. So happy 🎉 these videos are exactly what I needed

[priyalmewara]

You have the best channel in YouTube. It’s so comforting and motivating. Thank you for making this and I hope you grow to be huge ❤

[reykuadrat]

it's february and i really want to try journaling as part of my routine. i came across your video and wow it's really comprehensive i gained lots of insights!! thank you so much for making this video! love from indonesia <3

[JustWojtek]

I really like the distinctions you made between the different kinds of journaling! as someone not very fond of journaling I found reflective journaling too tedious and utilitarian journaling a bit too methodical for me, but I can totally see myself journaling ritualistically! Maybe something I'll pick up for new years :)

[mariekevandenhove]

wauw! I just wanted to start journaling today and wanted to see if you made any video's about it! Haha what an amazing coincidence! Thank you so much! Also I think this is the best way I can imagine starting it bc now I know exactly which style I'm gonna use!

[AV-yqgf]

The is very random but at 2:24 are you wearing jhumkas? They are SO cute! Where did you get them please?

also your channel and editing skills are incredible. Thanks for providing so much value, I keep falling out of my journalling habit. Can’t wait to see you go big!!

[KarolPlucinski]

I should probably give utilitarian journaling a go!
