Journaling has helped me so much! I am a power journaler lol. I go really deep and probe my mind when I write. I’ll pen 4, 5, or 6 pages. It’s so cleansing and therapeutic. It helps me to process things, to organize my thoughts. I essentially become my own therapist through journaling. I’m a big time advocate of the practice.

I started Journaling since May 1 of 2021 and I can tell you, It feels like you're talking to a person about your problem without worrying about them being worried about you:>

i often write negatively in my journal, that i sometimes forget to positively count my blessings and all my gratitudes! thank you for this video

"I am wonderfully and fearfully made." I'm agnostic, but that really resonates with me. Thank you for sharing.

I love that you mention tracking your triggers through journaling. Triggers can be SNEAKY and a journal can help identify what they actually are!

I literally just finished journaling. My therapist told me to get back intoit

Journaling helps me deal with my anxiety, and I also write about gratitude. Thank you!

I’m suffering from OCD and ADD and it’s ruining my work life...my mental state taking a toll so this is the first time I will do therapeutic writing I want it to work. I really want it to work

After loosing my dad this year, journaling has been a key way I’ve been working through it and I’m so grateful for this practice.

ive never wanted to hug someone so much in my life

“Talk about people. Talk about yourself.” 😂🥰

I asked for a journal just so I could pour my feelings out on it, it feels nice to do so because I don’t like telling people how I’m feeling because I’m fearful of being judged or being told it doesn’t matter

I journal for anxiety and depression, and find your videos very helpful.

i usually watch about 10 videos first to subscribe to someone but i just started watching you and i had to subscribe:) you seem like a really genuine and sweet person! i just bought a journal and want to focus on overcoming/controlling my depression+anxiety since it’s been too much to handle, buying a journal made me feel in control in some way since i keep EVERYTHING bottled up, i can actually let go unfiltered in a journal so thank you for these tips!💕

I recently started a " Mental health journal"( that's what I call it lol) and it really helped me alot and I would write down my honest feelings and it made me feel better and I'm so proud that I'm doing it every morning and it's the best part of the day 💜( y'all should start one too)

I’ve been doing this for 7 months and this has helped my mental health sooo much Thank you ❤️😊

Literally having the hardest time emotionally today. Came across your video and it has encouraged me so much. I’m a Christian, and I needed this video, so thank you. God used you to affirm what he wants me to do next! Such a blessing!

I’m going to try and start journaling normally I just keep everything bottled up instead thanks for all the tips! Your amazing I’m glad I came across your channel ❤️

hii!! i don’t have anxiety/depression but i tend to excuse my emotions and never take care of my mental health. i really think about writing down my feelings instead of yelling or ranting out loud.

i recently read my journal and i was shocked at seeing that pretty much every entry was the same and always negative, it also made it relatively boring to read. It made me see that i focus only on the bad stuff because it's easier to fill a page with negativity so now my challenge is to also write something fun/positive.

you have such a beautiful smile :)

I have been journaling to manage my anxiety. I feel it helps but I need to keep in hand tools to remember myself to self regulate. Sometimes as I write my anxiety spirals down to heavier, destructive and painful thoughts and leaves me feeling exhausted. I now journal a bit as usual, expressing my thoughts but after a page I go back to some CBT worksheets my therapist provided to analyze my feelings and thoughts and build a path to a more calmed state. That combination is perfect for me and it helps me to have a record of all my mental patterns for me to check later to discuss with my therapist. Thanks so much for the video!

Thank you! I really felt like this gave me some sort of “permission” to express. Subscribed. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

I was a little down and I recently started bullet journaling - the added structure combined with positive quotes, the artistic outlet (doodles), and gratitudes has helped so much.

I'm just starting the video so I don't know if you cover this but journaling is so hard for me. I get too caught up on my handwriting, my grammar, and paranoia about people one day finding my journal. I want to get into it, but idk how.

Thank you. I'm going to start journaling :)

I use to journal when I was 10 years old and did it until I was 16/17 and forgot about it. I need to get back into it because now that I am 23 and trying to figure out my adult life I know I will need to get my thoughts on paper! Thank you for making this helpful video. I’m going to start today

I'm an introvert but will vomit my issues if I feel comfortable with someone (cashier, mailman, Amazon driver, OMG) almost anyone who seems they care about what I have to say which is HORRIBLE. I'm in my 40s, a Stay at home wife and homeschooler who can't seem to find and keep friends. I'm starting to feel pretty crappy about myself and push it out on my husband which is no fun. I hope journaling will help me.

You talk so much sense in a language i can understand...not all clinical and doctorish (if that's a word!) 😊 thank you.

I have trust issues and depression and anxiety and journaling make me open up and feel more free of my problems this video helps a lot makes me feel like my own therapist 💜✌️🥺

I was recently diagnosed with several disorders and was told to try journaling but idk how to start but this helped a lot!!🤍

Thanks for the video! I enjoy answering self-love and self-care journal prompts after I meditate :) Both journaling and meditation has helped me a lot emotionally, mentally, and spiritually 💕

Yesss! I absolutely love this video. I’ve only recently started journaling again. One thing that helps me is to actually schedule time to journal. I use the Passion Planner where you can time block so I’ll block off one 30-min block just for journaling. I’ll brew a cup of tea, light a candle, and play some instrumental music then sit down and journal. I now look at journaling as self-care instead of wasted time. It’s super therapeutic.

I was just looking for therapy journaling tips, and found this video. I am so glad I clicked on it though! I’m always so afraid to write things down because I am afraid someone will read them and I’ll be so embarrassed. But your tips really encouraged me to just go for it. My journal is going to be my safe space. So big, huge thank you for posting this video. I am going to follow you on Instagram after I post this looooong comment! :) Thank you again! ❤️❤️

Thank you for this. I have an assignment to do for school and this video was super helpful.

I got bipolar and find journaling very helpful I’m also a writer and it helps with writers block too and I do picture journals too and yoga journal and meditation .. good video .. a lot more mental health problems around now with this pandemic so journaling is getting more common xx

Thank you for this video. I have never commented on any KZfaq video ever but I have been watching videos on how I can start journaling and never really seemed to understand the concept of it until I came across this video !!!!! Thank you thank thank you !!!! I have been dealing with depression and going through something really hard but I will start writing down everything to help me cope !

Thank you for this, I want to start journaling and I think you gave me a lot to think about. I'm especially interested in your second point so I think I'll try to start with tracking my habits and improve on them. Thanks again and wish you the best!

I'm so glad I came across your channel! I've been journaling for a few years now and I love the fact that I can complain as much as I want, without judgement and without bringing that negativity to other people in my life.

I love your positive vibe 😊

I just found this video and it helped me understand how to get started I’m a nurse who is off on leave right now due to burnout anxiety depression among other things I am currently learning my person triggers and I am just now starting my journaling journey this weekend I want to be write something I’m grateful for any problems with mood that day thank you for this video!

You are just lovely. Thank you for this video! Your honesty is refreshing and your wisdom is a treasure. May God bless you and this channel. I am positive it is helping so many. Thank you so much, beautiful girl!!!

I love how calming your voice is 😊

I know this is a late comment,but I just want to say thank you in advanced,I'm really going through a lot,and having to pretend like everything is "normal" and fake a smile to avoid questions being asked,and using self harm as a coping mechanism,this may really help me. ❤️

I love, love, love your journaling content. I haven't been feeling too great lately. I don't feel ready to see a therapist right now, so I wanted to try to journal and be with myself first. I've watched nearly all your journaling videos and am actually excited to work with the prompts. I subscribed and am looking forward to seeing more of your content. ❤️❤️❤️

I've started a journal since starting antidepressants and write my experience and how I've been feeling physically and mentally while on it and what other things that have happened in my personal life.

You are such an angel ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I started journaling about a year ago, but I lost track of my journal. I got a new one, and I need it for my insecurity and stress. I don't have a therapist but I talk my counselor often...she's recommended this... Thanks for creating such a great video.

Thank you so much for these ideas! I just started journaling in November and I’ve been surprised how much I am enjoying it. These are great ideas and very inspiring- especially how much it can help my mental health, almost without really even noticing it.

JUST FOUND THIS VIDEO AND UR CHANNEL. GREAT VIDEO SUPER HELPFUL!! LOVE UR IDEAS FOR JOURNALING “FOUNDATION” and or “STRUCTURE” WHILE ALSO HAVING FREEDOM AND FLOW. I AM SUPER STRUGGLING RIGHT NOW! Whew!! I LOVE WRITING JOURNALING BUT HAVE FALLEN INTO THE CYCLE VISCOUS CIRCLE OF OVERWHELM, CHAOS, STRESS ETC ETC...SO IM NOT JOURNALING, WHICH ADDS TO ALL THE ABOVE STRESS AND MORE, AND I FEE LIKE I “CANT JOURNAL”! “CANT WRITE”,, LIKE WRITERS BLOCK I HAVE “JOURNALING BLOCK!”

Thank you for this video!

I had my first session speaking with someone on Monday and journaling was suggested. I wasn’t sure where to start so this video was a real help ❤

I came across your video and this is really good pointers. I struggled with depression throughout portions of my life and after losing my father to suicide last Sept I had enough of the silencing of Mental Health and decided to start speaking up. Your video was very inspiring!

I am so excited to start therapy but also to start doing this by my own. 2021 really has been my breaking point and I need to start taking precautions because I'm struggling too much and I want to feel like myself.

You are awesome! Thank you so much I was like a mountain of tangled up yarn inside and I can't shake myself free....

Love your attitude Love the way you talk and sound, its nice Subbed✅

OMG! Thank you, I'll start journaling today. 😊

My friends were recommending me to try making a bullet journal and I was resisting for quite some time, but eventually decided to give it a try - and honestly, what you talk about in the video, it's truly awesome! It might be a little thing to keep a journal, but even little things can have greater a better impact than one could expect and that's sooo worth it! ♥ Also, gotta say that you are very sympathetic and with the topics you have in your videos, I just had to subscribe ^^ Thank you so much for talking about these things, it's really important and you're doing a great job ♥

I am so glad I found this video and that I found your channel. I’m going to practice some self-care and head to bed, but tomorrow.. I will definitely be watching all your videos. Thank you for already inspiring me.

Thank you sooo much for sharing! I am so glad I found your channel ❤️. I really would like to start journaling. I will definitely have to push myself!

Your video was sooo helpfull 💖💖thank you, you are amazing!!

Thank you for understanding and talking about, what i could not express by talking. Journaling and a little doodling about my pain and fears, helps and gives me something to do for myself🙏🏼

Journaling is a great start to figure out the root

I’m about to start an anxiety journal and this was the first video that popped up for me. Super encouraging. Thank you!

rashawnda you deserve more subscribers

Just found you and had to click that red button! Great branding, awesome thumbnails and I love your content! New friend saying Heyyy! xx

Thanks for this. I asked for a clear sign and your video popped up. I loved your tips at 4:25 and 6:28. I will try them tomorrow.

I dont have the money to get professional help, so I guess I'll start journaling to feel a little bit better.

Thank you!

This was a long time ago. I used to journal what I was feeling when I was a kid. Long story short, my sisters told me how mad they were on what I wrote about them. They were mean to me. When I told our mom, they got in trouble for reading my diary, while I was told how I shouldn’t say mean things about them. After that, I stopped writing in my diary, because I was afraid that even if I hid it well, they will still find it, and read through it again. We’re adults now, but it because of me not writing how I was feeling practically made me become an emotional wreck. I’m thinking about going back to writing in my new diary I got a few years ago. I really need this. Edit - I’m doing well in keeping my emotions in check at work, it’s just when I’m home and I have all of these negative thoughts going through my mind, then I let it out.

I hope this helps my OCD. i love you i love you, thank you so much for changing my life

Thank you so much for this, you explained very well and I love your attitude and smile. ♥😊

I just found out about your video and honestly this helps so much! Ps : you look really beautiful and calming

Hey! Can you show how exactly we can write about it? I mean, I understood, but a practical about that would be really helpful!🧡

I have done written, audio and video journals, since age 15 to my present 79th year. God help us from these evil demons, and I thank you. Use the audio voice apps and the recorder on your laptop etc. Thank you so much..
