    What do you struggle with most when it comes to journaling? (also don't forget, head to papier.ink/wesley or use my code "WESLEY15" for 15% off your own custom journal!!)

    "...when I turned thirty..." That was startling, truly. This is the first video of yours I have ever seen and I would have guessed you were twenty-two. I appreciate your Journaling suggestions and encouragement. I am currently writing in my Sixty-second Journal volume. ✒

    In journaling , what I struggle with most is always thinking I need to write long entries or I have to start new entries on a new page. I hope to overcome this so I can just write short entries when needed without feeling like I did it wrong. This is a great video, I love the releasing exercise you mentioned, to write down negative things that you want to release, very interesting ☺️ ✍🏻

    Great video (the intro ❤)! Thanks to you I went from « I should journal and write pages everyday » to « but I’m already doing it! » via planning and retroplanning, habits/mood tracking, gratitude… I feel better now 😊

    ugh...one of my fave topics...I have been journaling since the 5th grade - the corner of my closet in my parents' house is just storage boxes full of notebooks labelled TOP SECRET - and found that unstructured, unprompted reflective journalling worked best for me. when prompted journals/daily gratitude type books got really popular, I tried it and it made me hate the routine and put me on a long journalling hiatus (it felt like homework to me). but I see how my process, or lack thereof, really isn't others' cup of tea!
    also I need to know how long this intro took, SO AMAZING TALENTED BEAUTIFUL

      Totally agree, sometimes too much structure sucks the joy out of it. 😅

    I actually just started journaling and got a relatively expensive journal because it was pretty but the first entry I wrote in it was to remember that it doesn’t need to be perfect. There is beauty in the chaos and “ugly” parts. I have words crossed out , some pages “formatting” looks objectively bad but I also only use colored pens which makes things fun! This writing is a reflection of me and no matter what it looks like, it is beautiful because it is helping me reflect and grow.

    Great video, and like you, I use Day One as well as a paper journal. I enjoy both and sometimes I just put a photo from the day in Day One and that's enough. I also love stationery so also tend to like writing in my paper journal. I do find that typing is much easier however. Thanks for the video.

    For me an issue i have with maintaining a journal is i keep thi king i have to journal a specific way because ive been told it will really help me out. I have a disorder called dissociative identity disorder (multiple personality disorder) ive been repeatedly told you should journal cause it will jelp with all your headmates. Ive tried doing this and keeping a journal for each headmate but that was too annoying and i didnt write in it enough. I just gave up. Im thinking if i can change my intentions on what i want to write it will help me be much more consistent. I saw a commonplace journal where you write things like lyrics, quotes, scriptures, or insights that sounds easy enough to do. 😊

    • @jessicalingo4346
      @jessicalingo4346 Před 7 měsíci

      Maybe once i work on the commonplace journal i can work my way into the DID journaling which can improve my daily life

    • @WesleyAnna
      @WesleyAnna  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Definitely experiment with different kinds of journaling! All it comes down to is deciding what you want to document and figuring out the best medium for that. Good luck!
