my first video in this room! dropping my first week in nyc vlog this friday đâš so much to update u on!! what's new with you??
Woooo so excited!
yayy can't wait to see nyc from your perspective~ I just watched this vid and it got me excited about journaling again (I have been in a 2 month journal-slump eek) so thank you Leah!!
Hi Leah! This is a little specific but Iâd love to hear more about your experiences growing up with a single mom. Whether it be through a video around that topic or whatever medium you see fit.
My sister is a fairly young single mom and Iâd love to get some perspective to help support both my sis and my niece in ways that arenât so abundantly clear to someone who didnât grow up in the situation. Especially since sheâs in Singapore (v career driven place that still unfortunately doesnât see single households as being equal for the most part).
hi leah
@@MaelysCha she's visitng nyc
I wrote up all the questions from this vid :)

I'm a super lazy journaler and on the days when I don't feel like writing at all I draw a picture that shows how I felt that day. Like a small doodle that sums up whatever I was feeling. Doing that helped me build the habit of journaling!

Obrigado!!
lately i've been spirling into not doing anything. It really feels like I can't do anything but quick pleasure stuff (playing video games, youtube, Instagram), so it was actually difficult to click on ur video case I knew it would calm me down. It feels like my brain doesn't allow me to. After this video I have the intention to clean my room, journal, and go to sleep early even though it feels like my body won't allow it.. Weird feeling. Thank you for your video, it was really what I needed. I hope I can take it into action now... Lots of love
I feel you, it's the same for me... sometimes I try to avoid watching Leah because I know she's gonna make me reflect and be mindful of the things I'm not doing for myself.
Felt this! Thanks for sharing
integrating your artsy traits make your journals look like an aesthetic diary, I love it :)
I find it so insane how a seemingly insignificant event in early childhood can have such an impact on a person for the rest of their life. It has made me reflect on my own triggers and how theyâre connected to deep fears and trauma that arose during my childhood and formative years. Iâll definitely keep this in mind when I have my own children and be aware of how my actions may impact them into adulthood.
WAIT, can we just talk how GORGEOUS AND BLOOMING is Leah in this video?!!! â€ïž
Rightt her outfit and make up đ„ș
blooming, I love that adjective so much.
needed this! Have been resisting my journal recently, but found that starting with some positive affirmations or thought exercises helps me get into the journaling mood bc I'm not expected to 'come up' with anything (just writing the same affirmation over again a couple times before I jump in makes the transition to deeper journaling easier). Really like your monthly moon idea, bc it gives some structure--my morning pages are more loosey-goosey, so getting some fresh ideas is motivating~
yayyy glad this was helpful! cant imagine how beautiful ur journal pages must be đ„ș
i've been journalling since i was a kid, my mom encouraged me to do so cos she also does it. i used to write every single day, but since i get a lot of days where not a lot is happening, i only now write when i want to ruminate on something, or some events have happened and wanted to give a life update. i don't really do prompts like in the video; i treat my journal like a secret best friend who i can just rant off too and won't judge me for my actions. i also use it to self-reflect, and it helped me realize a lot about myself. i also try to have fun with it by adding little drawings that reference my entries. it's fun to read my previous entries, since i'm essentially looking back on the memories i've made, mostly with my friends. it's like taking a little trip down memory lane.
I was watching your old videos from 4 years ago and they give me so much comfort. you are basically a baby in those vids. i have realized that you have grown and changed so much, but you've kept the spirit âšđđ
đ„șđđ
In fact, I have a playlist that I call "comfort calm" more than anything, I add the videos that calm me down so I don't be shipwrecked on CZcams, and leah's videos are 60% of the total. Thanks for sharing â€ïž
Leah got me out here taking NOTES âïžđ Seriously, this video came in such a good timing. I'm feeling a bit stuck so having watched this I feel motivated to be my best self.Thank you so much for sharing, love your videos! Take care đ
Re programming questions :
1.What is this situation triggering inside me?
2.why is this emotion being triggered? What do I lack?
3.what is this emotion telling me I need?
4. Where in my life have I needed this the most ?and from who?
6. Can I trace this back to a memory where this was very apparent?
7. Why do I shrink or stay small in this area of my life?
8. How can I give myself what i need?
ALL MY LIFE, i have strUGGLED with journaling. For some reason i never keep up with it, or go back to it, then i lose track, get bored and quit. Journal or not, iâve never been organized. This is a very interesting take on improving habits and lifestyle by journaling. Thank u bestie đ„șđđ
awhhh gotchu bestie đ©đđ« i believe in you!!!
I graduated in 2020 but we were sent home for an "extended spring break" before quarantine started, so I never got to say goodbye to my school or any of my friends. I was sort of just... unceremoniously dropped back home and soon realized I no longer HAD any friends who weren't literally hundreds or thousands of miles away. So at the start of 2021 I started journaling/asking that my life would be filled with strong female friendships in the coming months. I can happily say that as of today, I've made 3-4 really strong female friends in my area (which may not seem like a lot unless you're an extreme, hermit-like introvert like me) and have strengthened several of my long-distance female friendships. Call it an answer to prayer or manifesting or the law of attraction--either way, I find it pretty neato :)
the little (bunny) drawings are making the video really lovely to watch :)
these are great!đ in the evening iâve started to write a letter to my morning self, so i can bring it with me around the next day. i usually write about things iâm proud of from that day, some affirmations and reminders. anything i think tomorrowâs version of me will read and have a better day. it works really well, so i wanted to recommend it
I have been telling myself I need to get better with journaling lately, so I'm gonna make myself try these prompts ! Thank you Leah, hope you're doing great :) â€
Whenever I hear the first notes of the intro it feels like Iâm coming home
I havenât picked up my journal in so long and this is the kind of motivation i neededđ„°đ„°âš thanks leah for always inspiringđđ
I loved this video! I love the art, colors, and writing mix of your journal, very inspiring đżOne thing I can recommend as a âpromptâ is: What three things can you do today that would make you happy, I do it almost every day and find it to be really helpful
Hello Leah! thank you for sharing some journaling prompts, I just finished doing one of the prompts you shared after 1 year of not being able to write down my feelings, and even when I did want to, I just felt lost because I didn't know where to start and what emotions to unpack, so I always end up not doing it. It felt good to have a starting point and let the words just flow out of my head. Thank you!
your vlogs feel like a warm blanket
wow you have such a calming voice. i could listen to you for hourssss its so soothing. this is the first time ive taken notes from a youtube video. anyways ilyyyyy im so excited for your new york vlog!
just finished journaling using one of the prompts! and wow it was amazing. I definitely did not expect to write so many pages after not being able to write even a sentence. so it was quite liberating, I'm glad I came across this video. thank you.
omg recently I've been doing journals because I really want to be productive just like you, Leah. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. I LOVE YOU, MY INSPIRATION
i'm in a journey of spiritual awakening as of right now and everything is out of my control.. and you helped me, again :')
thank you ate leah, sending you so much love. je t'aime!
I love that you mentioned how important exercise and diet is! Exercise is so important for everyone and you donât have to stress yourself out with it either. Taking your dog on a walk everyday or something like that can help so so much
IM REALLY THANKFUL FOR THIS VIDEO đ the way u shared ur childhood story makes me realize that I actually have a 'childhood trauma' even though my parents were rly nice compare to other's parents... but now I can relieve it thorough the journalling methods u shared so thanks agn!!!
It is generally so hard to confront childhood trauma and get to working on it effectively. I am really trying hard here too. Loved this video! Rooting for you too...and really nybody who is trying...
hi this upload made my week
wishing u so much warmth, you bring so much light to my life
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain and give examples of journal prompts. Sometimes starting is the hardest thing to do! đđđ§ââïž
whenever I find myself in a really low spot, your videos somehow always inspire me or help me move forward. thank you so much Leah
this video feels like a meditation/therapy session
Started this in an evening and did most of the evening prompts and I feel light(and it's been a hard day). I often journal but rarely with prompts and the nonjudgmental audit is great because I'm very judgemental towards myself. This helped have a real look at my day with the good and bad. Writing all prompts down on cards for later. Would love more journaling content and journal reading/flipthroughs... Explaining the trigger exercise was super calming and insightful, need more of that â€
Thank you for sharing these prompts Leah -- I've uncovered and found the reason and traumatic situation behind almost 20+ years of social anxiety. This is life changing
Love seeing someone else who uses a blank journal as a journal, to-do list, sketchbook, schedule, etc. People have told me I'm crazy for keeping it all in one but I find it cohesive and fun!! Also love love love muji pens, they're the best for journaling bc the ink keeps up
I started writing right after this đ this might be a Christmas miracle, greets from an inconsistent person đ€
digging myself out of a depressive slump and this was exactly what I needed today thank u leah
iâve moved to south korea 3 weeks ago and been journaling since then and i love it. It became such part of my daily routine and itâs really fun to look back and see what Iâve done each day and what Iâve achieved đđ
I have been trying to better myself lately! Itâs been very hard to dig deep with into my emotions, but this video and comments have made me feel less alone in my journey! Thanks for your encouragement through this video â€ïž It makes me feel close to you even though I donât personally know you âșïž
you're so comforting and calming
iâve been trying to journal more so this was perfect for me! coming through at the best times as always
It's so informative for real. I'm def going back to journaling tomorrow with your ideas and the reprogramming part it's what I needed for my therapy sessions i'm doing in france. I feel I need to find answers or think about them before going to meet my therapist â€ïžđđ Thank you Leah đ„°
thank you Lea! this video really came at the right time when i was feeling down. so i picked up my never-started notebook and wrote down these prompts to remind me there are ways to let go of my thoughts. hope i can make it somewhat of a habit. thank you!
omg the doodles in the video. i love. listening to this while getting into a warm bath~~~~feeling very proud of taking care of myself this way â€ïž thank you Leah!
leah gives makes me feel like i have an amazing big sister that i can turn to for advise or just a break from everyday life
this video is a sign for the great things that gonna happen in this DECEMBER , đđ âïžâšâš love u always Leah and i love this community so much, yâall so cuteeeeđ€đ€đ€
Literally spent the whole video taking notes, i am so excited to try all of this methods, thank you Leah
I never leave CZcams comments but I did the reprogramming journal questions and I can honestly say I am shocked. I don't usually use prompts, but I've been super overwhelmed about a project I'm working on so I thought I'd give it a try and... wow. I've made some realizations about myself that go way deeper than the surface situation I am dealing with, and I never would have consciously connected these things otherwise. Thank you so much for sharing
Aww that makes me so happy to hear! So proud of uđ«đ€ thank u for sharing!
omg such a timely video since ive started journaling this year too đ€ thanks for this leah!! love all your videos~ đ„°
This specific video is just what I wanted. LEAH TO THE RESCUE. THANK YOU FOR THIS. LOVE YOU AMD TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF
Leah you really is a big help to me. Again thank you so much for the teachings, i learned a lot to this video, and its very helpful to me. We'll do your prompts
always right when i need it đ„ș bless u leah
we appreciate you, Leah!! SO MUCH
youâre literally my comfort person
DEF NEEDED THIS SM THX SM LEAH! even though I don't rlly journal, these questions just helped be reflect deeply on myself, which is something I haven't done in a while ngl lolllll. ANYWAYS, I also wanted to let u know HOW GORGEOUS U R. I love how open u r to change and reflections and u look gorgeous every day but YOU LOOK SO CUTEEEEEEE!!!
time for me to reflect and improve on my journal!đ
Thank you for this video! I do journal really often, but it's always good to try new ways of journaling ! I even made a Notion page for journal prompts ! Added all the new one from this video !
Sending you lots of love ! x
Thank you Leah for existing.
u inspired me to keep goin w my journal, ilysm leah
i started writing when lockdown began in 2020 and basically just wrote about all my feelings, what was going on and looking back a year later is so crazy, seeing how much I've changed and basically feeling like a different person. i don't really do prompts so ig its more of a diary but it really did help me so much
needed this so much rn i canât even explain. amazing video as always ilyyy
the reprograming prompt is exactly what i need rn! thank u doe sharing
leahâs videos are literally my rest and comfort
neededdd this vid its been such a crummy month/academic quarter. thank you for posting!! definitely gonna start journaling again~đđ·
this feels like a hug from a big sister đ„șđ
I never felt like journaling helped but this video has completely transformed this idea and has motivated me to start again!
i am so so grateful forthis videoo
i just got back into journaling so this was so helpful and grounding, thank you so much leah!
this video was so needed for me right now, thank you so much for sharing your light! always feel so warm and comforted by your content!!
also, my personal favorite method of journaling is gratitude journaling! I write down at least three things I am grateful for at the end of every day, I've been doing it for a year or so and it's been so transformative!!
i love you leah!! very interested in journaling so this video is perfect
also ty for being my comfort person
these videos make me so motivated to have a happy healthy and clear minded future. thank you
I love this human . So proud of you đ«đđ
This is the best vid Iâve EVER watched on this topic! And I found a wonderful new CZcamsr in the processâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
absolutely love the vibe of your videos and you! some voices stress me out but yours doesnt so I can listen to it and it actually relaxes me
A great 'how to' guide. Thanks for this. I love the view from your window (greenery) and your hair slides. Looking forward to your NY vlogs.
Omg leah i love these prompts! Have you thought of making them into digital version that we could use or print out?
You really are a comfort person. And I discoveres about you just few days ago-
Leah... when you put yourself on blast, I cried because I feel exactly the same whenever I had to say bye to a partner or anyone in my life. I still donât understand why or how to not be so volatile when it happens... But Iâm gonna try this prompt!!
This is absolutely amazing, thank u sm đ the way you explain how to journal with your healing process makes me identity with your emotions. Maybe because I'm a spanish speaker I didn't catch all the ideas to set times for it but I'll try anyways. đ
BTW, you are a strong person and you inspire lots of people. đ
I love these and definitely will incorporate some into my routine! Oftentimes id only journal until shit hits the fan but I forget that journaling is also a form of preventative care! I also wanted to note I was the same and would always cry when saying bye to my significant other even though I would see them again in a couple days. I was able to heal from it since then and realized that it was my abandonment issues too haha
Omg Leah your beautiful skin is glowiiiing! đ±đ€©đ„ș
I love you and your chaos i think. Very soothing to listen to
i tried betterhelp a couple months ago, and it helped soooo much
you talking about how you don't think you had any childhood trauma because your parents were nice and didn't do anything bad, i was like "same!!" but then you started talking about moments that stood out to you in your childhood, and that made me reflect and my mind is blownnnnn.
my therapist and i were trying to find out the root of my anxiety (we didn't end up reaching that "aha" moment), but this is very eye opening!
Aww thatâs awesome! Yah BetterHelp definitely was my gateway into analyzing about my own behavioural patterns and finding practical solutions but I found journaling after feeling triggered in the moment has helped so much with slowly finding the root moments!!! I hope these prompts can help too đ proud of u!!!!!!!
thank you for sharing these leah (and your beautiful journal art ofc)!! i bet itâs really late for you right now, so i hope youâre getting plenty of rest
yayyyyyyy miss u sm!!! calming and curing as it always is
Thank you this was exactly what I needed! By the way, I love your lamp!đ
You're such an inspiration âĄ
Literally just bought a journal today and came back home to see your video
I am so thankful for this video ! đ
this is the perfect video i always loved the part in your videos where you talk about journaling and mental health
Omg.. can we take a moment to appreciate the doodlesss so soft and cute
thank you so much for this Leah! ALSO UR OUTFIT IS SO CUTE
Also I love the top you're having it's so kyuuut đ„șâ€âïžđ It looks like a fluffy little cloud
Hi, Leah! I usually love your videos because I really enjoy your vibe, your editing and the topics you talk about, but this specific video resonated so much with me that I felt like I had to comment. IÂŽm very inconsistent with journaling because I feel like everything has to look pretty, but I never realized that these kind of prompts might be better for me instead of everything looking aesthetically pleasing.
I also felt SO relieved with your talk about the separation anxiety, because I feel that way with my partner as well and it makes me feel very small, kind of like a "toxic girlfriend", so seeing your point of view and how you started to fix this and reflect about it has really helped me to see that it's not that there's something wrong with me, but I can also work around it this way like you did and use your conclusions to help me as well. Thank you so much for doing these kinds of videos, I really enjoyed all 17 minutes of it.
ohhhh leah are you reading my mind.. i wanted to journal but was stuck not knowing what to do
And here you posting this video... thank you and love you leah đ€
YAS LEAH HERE FOR IT!!
