Low Energy Journaling
When you just need to calm your mind down or you’re too overwhelmed or not in a place to be creative. My favorite low energy journal spread is just washi tape, sticker, or paint swatching. You get the therapeutic release of crafting without having to worry if you’re feeling creative or not! Try it out.
Low energy journaling is a great way to unwind and process your thoughts without the pressure of traditional journaling. By using materials like washi tape, stickers, or simple paint techniques, you can create beautiful, expressive art that soothes the mind. This type of journaling is ideal for those who may feel blocked creatively yet still desire an outlet for expression. It encourages mindfulness and can serve as a relaxing ritual in your day-to-day life. Plus, you do not need to be an expert artist to engage in this practice; the joy comes from the act itself rather than the end product. To enhance your low energy journaling experience, consider setting a calming atmosphere. Play soft music, have your favorite snacks nearby, or try journaling outside to take in nature's tranquility. Incorporating these elements will enrich your journaling sessions and help you feel more connected to the process. Additionally, consider sharing your spreads on social media or within your communities, like #junkjournal or #crafts, to inspire others to join you in this calming creative practice. Ultimately, low energy journaling is not just about what you create, but how it makes you feel and the peace it brings during challenging times.
Once all my orders finish arriving and I can organize everything by color - washi and stickers are next to be swatched for me too. Do you remember where you got the green luna moth one in the background?
