Any tips on how to start? It really intrigues me but in the past Iโve tried journaling and I get too obsessive over how it looks instead of enjoying the process
moonchild no i'm the same way, it was always one of my mental roadblocks to regular journaling (especially bc i'd always see people with such neat organized journals while mine would usually look like chicken scratch lmao). i guess the best thing i can offer is go with your first instinct: you like it, put it in. you think it looks cool, put it in. you think it has some meaning to you, put it in. you eventually start to find other things that resonate similarly with each other, and all of a sudden you'll have multiple books full. it shouldn't feel like you're curating, more like scrapbook venting, if that makes sense lol. the best pages feel like arts and crafts vomit
el_ugh I see journaling as a way to declutter my mind and as one of the many processes of introspection. I like to imagine that my mind is a road full of autumn leaves and as I journal itโs like Iโm sweeping the leaves off the road. Also, I only do journaling when it feels right, I donโt think weโre supposed to force ourselves to do daily writing, it should come out on its own and then youโll find yourself writing tons of paragraphs. Itโs word vomit!! I also journal to do some checkpoints in my life cause it be going fast โก๏ธ
