⋆ ˚｡ new to journaling? START HERE! ‧₊˚

want to journal but have no clue where to start? no worries i got u! 😏💭

i've been journaling everyday for years so i thought i'd share some tips i used when i first started!

❥・1.) pick a journal (or notebook) you like!

• make sure it's pretty or exciting so that every time you pick it up for your journal sesh it gives you a burst of happiness! (i usually get mine from honestly a bunch of places; five below, amazon, walmart, books a million, etc)

❥・2.) get a pencil case (for your pens & washi tapes)

• if you don't have a designated spot for your journaling getting a pencil case to hold all of your favorite journaling stuff will make journaling wherever & whenever so much easier

❥・3.) stickers, stickers & more stickers!

• make it fun! sometimes i go onto pinterest for journal spread ideas & i put my own spin on them! you can also use sticky notes in ways that you probably wouldn't have thought of before

❥・4.) just start!

• there's literally no wrong or right way to do it it's all about your preference & what this is for you!

Journaling is a wonderful way to express your thoughts and feelings, and there are countless approaches to make it a fulfilling practice. Firstly, choosing a journal that resonates with you can significantly enhance your experience—consider a design that brings you joy. Additionally, organizing your journaling supplies in a designated pencil case can make it easier to maintain consistency. Explore using various decorative elements, such as stickers and washi tape, to personalize your entries and make the process enjoyable. Research shows that visual elements can prompt greater engagement with your writing. When you begin journaling, remember that there’s no perfect way to express yourself; it’s about letting your thoughts flow naturally. Take inspiration from journal prompts available online, or simply write about your daily experiences. By prioritizing authenticity and enjoyment in your journaling practice, you’ll find that it becomes a cherished part of your routine. Embrace the creativity, and let your journal become a canvas for self-discovery and reflection!
