How to Journal for Beginners! Setup & DIY Easy Ideas for Maximum Productivity!

Thank you so much this is so motivating! the one problem i have is when buying a pretty journal i dont want to "ruin" it 😭 also i LOVE you're journaling content

I started journalling more religiously ever since I got into a huge fight with my best friend at the time and she blocked me without hearing anything I had to say. That had never happened to me before, I've always talked through problems with people in my life until that moment. Well so I wrote out what I wanted to tell her in my journal. It felt so good to move on ( after cursing her a lot in there but still) Since then I've journaled every time I felt bad but also Ive journaled for memory keeping. Im an extremely sentimental and nostalgic person and I keep literally every scrap of paper from my life. So journalling helped me keep up these memories to look back on my life. I journal a lot when I'm feeling good or feeling bad or feeling bored, soo its pretty consistent because of that. 😂

Something that has really helped me so much is choosing journals that are already decorated inside with pretty pages/designs! Blank pages make me think i will ruin it and then i don't end up doing anything, which is actually crazy because this sounds like the opposite of what would be helpful for me, so maybe give it a try! Aliexpress has some GORGEOUS designs 😭!!! This is my 3rd year journalling with them ! I guess the decorated pages elevates what i have already done and it makes me enjoy flipping through the pages

Thank you so much for posting this video! I really am getting into journaling and I haven't been consistent either so this is so helpful! Thank you so much and I have been watching you for YEARS. Thank you Natalie and have a great day!❤ Edit: Thanks for the likes! They mean a lot!

personally i love journaling and it gives me a moment to myself in the evenings before i sleep (i usually journal at night before reading). i journal about many things, i sometimes follow some prompts relating to the time of the month (so like setting goals and reflecting on them at the beginning and end of the month) sometimes i do write about my day but only specific parts of it that either made me really happy or when something disappointing/bad happened it gives me a chance to accept that it happened so it helps me move on

Natalie I love your videos so much I’ve been watching your videos for so long and I want to say thank you for everything.

Thank you! I’ve been wanting to journal for years and I always give up. I actually just for a prompt journal and a wreck this journal to try and motivate myself. Junk journaling is the one that always interested me but it also seems like it is just art and not actual journaling. Maybe I can find a way to do both in the same journal. I just know..:pick one. 😂

I love the idea of a second brain journal, but just the thought of starting an aesthetically pleasing journal is so daunting to me 😂.

7:47 That also happens to me in Art. Like, I watch drawing videos and see someone’s art style better than me I start to doubt and compare my abilities to theirs.

So exited to watch this!! I love you Natalie!! ❤📔❤

Prayer journaling is definitely my format
