Comment below if you journal!

Don't make journaling a chore, you will get tired of it easily. You can be creative with your journal too like making collages, making a playlist or movie list, or even tickets and receipts like a scrapbook. Don't feel pressured, just do anything you want in your journal. You can also use quotes or bible verses to start your entries. Just do whatever you want because a journal is something where you can really express yourself without any judgement

I don’t journal everyday, but I do it when I start thinking too much. It helps me to clear my mind and process my emotions. The voice was therapeutic❤

My diary is entirely written in verses. It's filled to the brim with rhymes and stuff. It's been about two years now and I've improved in poetry a lot that way

I usually do the stream of consciousness and gratitude journaling, but once a year I write letters to myself. Once to my past self and one to my future self. It helps me highlight what challenges I overcame in the past year and think through how I will navigate the coming year. It's fun to red the previous year's letters

OMG. The voice is so soothing and calming. Thank you.

That animation is so cute!

Ok let's try! Bismillah✨ 1. Intention setting journaling & Dream journaling 2. Self reflection journaling & stream of consciousness journaling 3. Gratitude journaling & Future self journaling

I don't journal but I do write, something I've been doing since I was a child; I started as a means to deal with emotions surrounding my home life. Even in fictional settings I was able to use it as a means to steady myself. Writing, whatever the means, is a very cathartic experience.

I started journaling in 2003 when I lost my daughter my only child. I think the type of journaling I can relate to in this video is probably the one about the future. When I lost my daughter she was just 24 years old and a very dear friend of mine gave me a journal a beautiful journal and suggested that I use it to try to cope. She had started to journal when her granddaughter died and she said it was a big help. My way of journaling is a little bit different than what most people think of when they think of journaling. I wrote letters to my daughter. In the beginning of course in those letters I would just tell her how much I missed her and what I missed about her and I wrote every single day for months and gradually I wrote her maybe once a week and eventually once a month. Doing it this way allowed me to monitor my healing. I am a firm believer that this is not all there is to life...... that death is nothing more than a temporary Interruption of life. So much of what I wrote in the journal I expected my daughter would be able to read those letters one day when we are reunited based on the Bible promise at John chapter 5 verses 28 and 29 "the hour is coming when all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". When my sister died in 2021, who was my best friend, I started another journal and did the very same thing writing letters to her. I just wrote her about normal everyday things that I would talk to her about if she were still alive and we could chat on the phone or text like we did every single day. I often talk about things that we will be able to do in the future once we are reunited..... sort of pick up where we left off so to speak. I still miss my daughter and I'm still adjusting to life without my sister but the journaling has definitely helped me to keep a positive attitude and to continue to heal. I don't know if it would work for other people but it definitely has worked for me 💟

I never realized how cathartic writing in a journal about stuff on your mind or involving your day was.

journaling was one of the main reasons why I was able to juggle my mental health, especially during the pandemic. it's sooo effective if you're overthinking, anxious, and overwhelmed by everything. even now, I still journal and it really helps me get through with my emotions and anxiety

As an older person, I do self reflective journaling. I like the dream journaling thing, I might try it 😊. Thank you for sharing this. God Bless You and stay safe 🙏 ❤️

Remember, the most important aspect of journaling is consistency. Make it a habit, and you'll start to see the positive impact it can have on your life.

I’m involved in a lot of music events at my school, and I always future self journal the audition process everyday for a week or so before the actual audition. It always helps with my nerves and is just a great way to prep mentally. I also write down 3 daily gratitudes every morning before I start my day. Helps with motivation

1.Conscious journalling 2.Grattitute journalling 3.Future journalling 4.self-Refliction journalling 5.Dream journalling

I do bullet journaling, which allows me to become more organised during the day and keep me focused on the tasks I need to do. I include setups for daily wins (what was my little win today), things I’m thankful for, and goal tracking or life goals. So I sort of encompass a few of these styles all together! I’ve only done this properly for a year and a half, so still learning and finding my style but it’s coming together!

Welcome back dear Amanda. I missed your voice. And since some months already I started journaling again after 12 years and it helped me to fight back a big depressive state. Without even knowing I was practicing all the techniques reported in this video. I usually do journaling while listening to uplifting music, like the one by Bob Marley and Peter Tosh. They were a true positive Force of Nature, writing down my thoughts and feelings while listening to them is really a medication. When I feel bad and I share that suffering with myself, putting it on paper helps me to feel better. And when I'm good, putting my best thoughts on paper helps me feel empowered. If only I didn't waste so much time of my life talking to others instead of talking to myself, today I would have felt much better and more confident!

Let's grow together.

The animation of this video is so cute and the narrator's voice is so warm and calming. Like a blanket keeping me warm in a storm.

I do almost every type of journal but last one was new to me. Journaling has changed my life over past 2 years. And I'm really grateful for starting it that day.

I’m Georgia from autistic very high on spectrum and the animations really helped me to understand a lot of things that I usually don’t understand and really helps me the channel gives me a lot more. I didn’t think I know so thank you for helping me understand a lot of things I usually don’t

I started my journaling when I was in highschool and I got bored and cringe so I stopped. When I was 17 I read it and find it relatable, funny and helpful. So I started again and I have specific note for every yr. since I like art I sometimes draw on it, put stickers, decorate it and use a lot of coloring pens. I really like how it helps me understand myself, my emotion and grow with it. Tips to add to your journals... MOOD TRACKER, BIRTHDAY PLANS, UNFORGETABLE DATES, YOUR FAVORITES IN THIS YEAR, MESSAGE FOR YOUNGER AND OLDER SELF, NEW THINGS YOU LEARN THIS YEAR AND MANY MORE.

Whenever something bothers me, I go on my laptop to write a journal entry of my thoughts until I feel satisfied and once that is done I review what I wrote to reflect on my feelings as well as the state of mind that led me to the entry. It really helps because if you don't feel comfortable telling others what's on your mind or you want to understand your feelings better than doing a journal helps you express yourself to understand yourself.

I poetry my life. Both happy and nothappy emotions and/or happenings. It changed me positively. Now I notice weird details about life and can still remember a lot of them (for example what clothes she weared during our date 2 weeks ago and what colour plants she picked). It also gives me a feeling of pride when I read them back. Like ye, I created that piece. Especially when I show them to some friends and they wow'ed or smiled (feels amazing to me because then the emotion that is put inside was delivered). Also the best thing, my poetry doesn't have to be good.

Recently I had started journaling and had no idea how to start journaling. Your video is beneficial. This video contains everything you need to know about journaling.

I want to share that before as a child I always wanted to write a journal but it didn't work out; but it was during the pandemic when I decided to do it, because I couldn't stand the confinement, nostalgia and a lot of other feelings: putting them on paper helped me a lot, to relieve myself and bring out everything inside me, to connect with myself when I have no one to talk to, it felt good.

I've kept a journal since high school, I'm 43 now. I have an entire backpack full of old journals!

Remember the key for journaling is consistency. But don't beat up yourself if you forget it 1-2 days and it's okay write it freely don't make it chore.

I used to keep a dream journal. I don’t think it helped solve problems, it did make me happier though because my dreams were so awesome and became more vivid. I also remembered my dreams much more often because of the journaling. This was before I started having night terrors, fortunately that has generally ended. I don’t have a gratitude journal at the moment, I often Do say to myself what I am grateful for, or when something happens I am grateful for I proclaim & feel it. Thank you!

I have a five-year journal. It's nice to see how far I've come even in just one year. I'm recovering from a burnout, so seeing how much better I'm doing now compared to a year ago is a relief.

the animations are amazing

Not gonna lie, I'm doing my journal when I received a notification from this channel. Coincidence? I think not.😊

0:06 NOT THE AMUGUS!

I love journaling! I usually just write for about 15-30 minutes each morning. I start with gratitude journaling and then freestyle. By the end of the session, I feel so good!

Today's animation style was soo cute. Well to be exact, kinda like cartoonish. It was really amazing. You guys make soo kawaii animations. I just love them soo much♥️🌸

I do a prayer journal in the morning and a gratitude journal in the evening! 🙏🙏🙏

I am writing from many years and today I realise, I'm journaling of all these 6 types without even knowing them, It is nice!

I actually journal every night before i go to bed, it helps ease my mind to sleep better. Its usually about things that happen during that day with a mixture of other thoughts. I do have affirmations that i read after i finish journaling at night to keep speaking positivity into my life.

I love journaling, but I was basically doing stream of consciousness journaling only, but now, after those tips, I think it can be more effective for me!

I do a monthly journal (not that much regularly now 😢)... in which I create expense tracker, weekly planner, habjt tracker. It starts with a theme .. and I design all the pages according to it such as feuit, flowers, coffee or things I love. I also do journalling about my work experiences because I'm at the beginning years of my career, so I especially wanna record how I managed and responded to situations of mistakes, stress and what could have been done to make it better. ❤

I'm already 1:48 seconds into the video can't finish it because the animations are the most emotionally stimulating animations I"VE EVER SEEN!

I do a lot of journaling to free up space in my mind. I write about things that bothered me and things I realized/learned from having experienced them. I may consider incorporating gratitude in my entries.

Love the know art STYLE

I use to journal but I stopped when I got "better". I think it's time to pick up the pen again. It helped so much in the past and kept me on an even keel and kept me in check. Sine stopping, I noticed one by one I stopped doing all the things on the checklist e.g exercise, not mindlessly scrolling, eating properly, etc. Due to a few life set ups, I definitely need to pick up my pen again. Thank you for the reminder, love your content ❤

I used to have a gratitude journal, it was really helpful for me to calm myself down and feel inside peace. It was powerful.

I'm starting self-respection journaling :). seeing all of these techniques makes me want to try all of them but my therapist reminds me to take it slowly, so i just have to choose one for now. maybe after 3 months, i would add one more :). I'm curios with gratitude and dream journal, but every one of them makes me curious now!

This is the first time I've heard about dream journalling, I will try 🥰

Unpublished author here, writing has really helped me through some tough times. Even if not journaling. Just shutting the door, closing the blinds, turning on the AC, and getting to work on google docs is very relaxing. There have only been a few times where the situation was too stressful for that to distract me even a little bit.

While I was writing my bachelor thesis, I discovered a journaling technique called „morning pages“. Every day before I started writing I set myself a 10 minute timer and wrote down everything that came to my mind even if it was „I don’t know what to write“ until time was up. This helped me a lot with getting into the flow and clearing my mind. I think maybe I should start that again.😂

I love writing in my journal. Journals make great friends ☺. I used to write 10 pages a day when I was younger. I started one at age 12. Now at 55 I can't write as much as that..but still love it lots.

i largely do self reflection journaling at the end of my day. intention setting is just tracking my habits but i do give my friends weekly reports. i also do tarot readings for myself in the morning just to give myself an idea of things, it all depends on the spread i'm choosing lol

the animation is literally so adorable omg 😭❤️ tysm, anilzeah for your work!

❤ this!!! I started journaling everyday in 2021 and it has truly changed my life!!!

I have watched so many of your videos, and I really appreciate your efforts! much needed in today's world. I have been journaling for almost 9 yrs now, I can say it is the most rewarding habit one could have. Thank you 🤍

Esse é um dos canais mais maravilhosos e abençoados que já conheci. Sinto-me renovada todas as vezes que vejo um novo vídeo. Muito obrigada a todos vocês.

OMG THIS STYLE IS VERY CUTE!!!! ❤

I bullet journal a lot and thank you for this ❤. Happy Friday everyone

Thank youuuu, I need this thing so badly.

Thank you❤. I do journaling but inconsistent. I will try to be consistent ❤

I don't know why but this video leaves me with a smile 😊❤

Just listening to your soothing voice alone lowers my anxiety ❤

"You matter" or "I matter" should be written in journals and said more often.

I have two types. One for the awful entries and another to record the good days. I did this bc having the good and bad memories intermingled made me regret looking back, and then eventually i stopped journaling altogether…. My feelings and thoughts got all “constipated” and resulted in some slight regression. I also keep a daily bare-minimum planner separately. No boxes for checkmarks- looking back and seeing how much i “failed” to do was not healthy. I just carry over the most important tasks. Thanks for this vid ❤❤❤❤

I like journaling, when i was a kid i journal a lot, now i express my creativity and use like a therapy, i create junk journals, collages etc.

I LOVE the voice of the narrator❤

Thank you for sharing this chat. I love to gratitude journal. It helps me give thank for the small, medium, big things in life. I enjoy journaling it helps to go back and see I am continuing to grow. I also like journaling about celebrations🎉

I've recently, like last week realized how therapeutic bullet journaling can be. I kind of do whatever I want to do or I will do whatever I want to do I have a lot of stuff staved on Pinterest but I tried to highlight the good parts of my life and look toward the future, but I also include bits and pieces of the negative to remind myself what I'm moving forward from. So far I can see this working better for me than when I only did stream of conscious journaling which was a lot of negative. I think it's maybe something about stopping and putting effort into highlighting the positives that makes it stick in my mind more

I journal when I am overwhelmed. Helps a lot.

For Lent i give up and gain something....i usually give up drinking and i add writing 3 things im grateful for daily....The gratitude list was so helpful. IT WAS LIFE CHANGING!🙌🏾

You are awesome, a beautiful voice , important information, and lovely paintings

The animation is so innocent love it

I’ve never journaled but I want to try🤧

Thank you, guess I just need to open the journal up and write, lots of great ideas here 🙏

Love the animation !!!!

Hi, One other type of journalling could be based on Gestalt Therapy. Journalling the imagined conversation of two or more people and writing the dialogue for all of them.. including oneself and whomever one wants.

My diary contains my emotions including some pages on which I wrote some situations which are felt by most of us in our life . I just love writing it but I need to make it a bit more personal and focus on my emotions in place of the combined emotions of all.

I used to as a teenager! I wish I could go back in time to find those old diaries of mine, because I have no idea what happened to them! It would be interesting to know what my younger self was like! I will attempt to start journaling again! Thanks Amanda & Psych2go! You keep us motivated in countless ways! Bye!

Hello Psy2go 👋. You always say in your videos🎥 that they are for educational propose only 🎓, but I don't know why, I find them more useful than beeing with my friends 😞. Watching your videos is taking my lonelyness away and I thank you for that. I think the animation keep me from the world and it's better like that 💐, I mean those little guys in your videos... . Thanks for all your effort making videos ! ❤️‍🩹🙏 PS: sry for my bad english I'm french 🥖🇨🇵

I quite literally expressed interest in taking up journaling to my friends yesterday. Thanks!

I like to journal it helps 😊❤️

The animation is so cute 🥺❤

I would definitely write journal for clearing my mind. Nice information

I keep 2 journals, 1 is my dream journal and 2 is my journal for feelings

Thanks for the sharing the different kinds of journal we can write about. Putting them into categories makes it easier to focus on certain aspects of life. The dream journal is very interesting too! I should really write one because I dream a lot and I can remember a lot of details after I woke up. Some of them could even make nice plots for a novel or movie haha. My subconscious must have liked daydreaming so much 😆

I used to journal my dreams frequently when I was in my 20s. I used to have several books completely full of dream recounts. I also believe, and still believe, that dreams have a deep spiritual meaning, and I would often interpret them as I wrote about them. Of course, my dreams were always incredibly vivid and complex. Eventually, I stopped, because I listened to what others told me. My family doesn't see dreams the way that I do, and they would tell me that they didn't have any meaning, making me feel like my dream journaling was pointless. In fact, they didn't like the idea of me even just journaling my thoughts, I guess because they felt like I should just talk to someone instead, although when I'd try to talk about my thoughts and feelings, no one would want to hear it. Funny how that works. 🙄

I really love this channel so much

i use digital journaling and i couldn’t do it any other way, i’m not friendly with a piece of paper and i’ve been doing this since April, it has been a blast please do more videos on journaling

never really considered the thought of doing journaling until now, it wouldn't hurt to try it out plus it sounds fun!

Love the animation 😂❤ so cute!😊

Dream journaling sounds like fun! I think I should try it!

I usually write in my journal whatever is on my mind, it helps me clear my mind and thoughts, I really recommend it😊

I love journaling my day-day happenings, feelings and dreams, then I can look back on what I wrote and say 'yeah okay, today was better then yesterday or last week'❤

i have a journal and started last September. i was writing everyday and it was always with me through my life because i thought it was be nice to look back at all the fun times i had whenever I'm old. i chose a great time to start too since it was when my life started to become the best section of my entire existence. 4 months later though, let's just say... I'm greiving a breakup and even to this day I've lost motivation to continue. i still write, but only for the really big ups/downs. i want to journal more though, so how can i encourage myself to be motivated in these hurting times? thank you in advance, stay strong and remember you're not alone in life!

This video is thrilling and its techniques are really useful.❤❤ Also, I liked the animation and the characters are amazing.

I started gratitude journal but i don't write it, i say what am grateful about when im meditating and it makes me feel so positive and good but now i will try to write them down and see how it goes. Thanks psych2GO :)
