Journaling without any kind of reflection or inciting experience leads to a kind of external rumination where you go over the same issues plaguing you day after day. Try journaling after meditating, exercise, or after going out with friends. The insights you collect in those experiences are more likely to stick and be integrated when you put them on paper.

I've been journaling lately, and it's been such a game-changer! It's super simple – just grab a notebook or even an app on your phone. The best part is, there's no right or wrong way to do it. You can write (draw) about anything that's on your mind, from daily happenings to random thoughts and feelings.
It's a great way to clear your head and get in touch with yourself. Plus, it can be really therapeutic to see your thoughts on paper (or screen). You might find it helps you process stuff and even spark some new ideas. Give it a try

I see a lot of people trying to make it more complex for themselves with things like journal prompts, only to end up doubting themselves on what they're writing, forgetting the initial purpose which is, displaying thoughts, leaving empty journals along the way.

instead i keep a notebook in my bag and write down anything that strikes me as interesting: something funny a prof said, a lyric and why i like it, an interesting dream, a recurrent thought i've had for a few days... helped me a lot more than journaling and i make it fun by diversifying it, which the journaling format lacks kinda? i mean, doing sketches and planning website pages and writing down thoughts abt a book i just finished and making editing decisions blablaboablabla ANYTHING U EVER THINK OF! that helped me uncover patterns and common themes in my life way more than journaling but ig it does amount to the same concept 😓

I’ve loved Aaron Powell’s solo project for a few years now - Dragonchaser and Captain are two incredible records which both grabbed me initially - and the further I delve into his back catalogue I still find amazing gems like this lofi slowcore piece.

I discovered this song on one of the saddest spring nights of my life and let it play as I tried to go to sleep. For some reason it always makes me think of extremely bright moonlight on oak trees. Principal songwriter Rick Alverson went on to direct The Comedy with Tim Heidecker and Entertainment with Gregg Turkington.
