    Wow, I don't know if it was a predetermined statement, but it felt so casually profound I had to pause the video and mentally build a shrine for it.

    YAAAAAASSSS! So excellent! When I was in high school, my creative writing teacher introduced me to "free writes." That opened up the WORLD to me, via journaling. Because THERE IS NO WRONG WAY TO DO IT. There's only NOT doing it.
    I love the meta-cognitive process you describe. I find myself doing the same thing. I'll have conversations with myself, in writing in my journal. In fact, I had a long talk with myself earlier today and identified a pattern of assumptions I've been operating under that are just FALSE and judgmental and unhelpful. So I made messy art about it.
    Looking forward to your next video, as always!

    I really like how you said that it's not instant gratification like social media is. I think that's what I expect most of the time when I go to journal, and of course it can never hold my interest long enough without that reward.
    How do you bring yourself to 'show up' when you're so used to getting that instant feedback/reward/outcome?

  • @annathompson3034

    She answered my question! Thanks! This video and you as a person are inspiring. I really like what you said about acknowledging the inner critic, but not letting it effect you or your journaling. 👍🏻

    OMG a two-parter, hooray!!! This was so awesome! 💜✨ I was laughing out loud when you said if you get too many journals you feel like they're haunting you and you kind of whisper-sang, "Tiiiinaaa..." 😂👏🏼😋 I SO relate!! And oh wow: "Keep showing up for yourself" and "You are worthy of being a hot mess" !!! Put that on a tshirt! So much love 💕💕💕💕

    Thank you for all your positivity and sharing. I lost my journal this week. There has been a hole of sadness since realizing it is gone forever. Your video cheered me up and I look forward to getting a new one. Cheers!

    Your views about perfectionism was awesome and reaaly so inspiring...I just want to be messy in my journal...I too love to write straight writing! And that's awesome! Being messy is good!!

  • @Jbstan7

    I used to try copying all the handwritings I admired. Which books do 'they' read...what ever it is as I raised myself and as a loner book worm, I see YOUR handwriting and the even style page after page and now when my hands do not work anymore? well my handwriting is awful and in your videos I am reminded what' is me is me and by now I have other things to do than copy others. Thanks for reminding 'us' all that if journaling is our jam, then just write! Great Q&A! thanks

    BIC still makes those pens!!! I just saw huge boxes of them at Office Depot (or is is Max these days?) last weekend. They came in black, blue, red, and I think purple too, see thru barrel and all! 🖤💙❤️💜

    I just discovered your channel so this comment is much too late, but the pen by bic that you mentioned also used to be my mom's favorite and I'm
    currently journaling with one of our last few of it.

    have you ever thought about using a fountain pen? I recently got back into using mine and I'm totally loving it! I love how smooth the ink feels on the paper and for some reason my handwriting has also gotten better with it aswell :)) Really enjoyed the video!

    Lately I've been wanting to journal again but I'm having a hard time getting inspired I started really getting into journaling a few years ago and then I stopped for a while how do I get back into the habit of journaling?

  • @abbyhiggins8684
    @abbyhiggins8684 Před 5 lety

    This is really late, but I would recommend Zebra pens (they have BP and F.30x with the x being a different number for each style on them). They are really light and refillable

    Ahhhhh Tina, I am sorry if i ask too many questions lol, but, I don't know what to write on the first page of my new journal! Iv'e never had this issue before, but I feel like it has to be something special or something. what do you write on the first page, do you have a specific thing you do?
