9 JOURNALING TIPS for beginners | how to start journaling for self-improvement + 70 PROMPTS

Thanks for sharing these tips! Writing is a significant part of my life, as I maintain a journal to document my emotions—be it happiness, sadness, or anger. Consequently, I frequently find myself buying writing journals from Palatian Creation, an online source I greatly rely on.

Love From India 🇮🇳

Have always wanted to journal but was super confused as to what to write.
I really like the point where you mention that it doesn’t have to have your deepest thoughts or insights written as if it were a book.
I’m sure to begin journaling now

Thank you

Carry frozen water bottles to keep cool on your skin, and for fur babies, and to give to others.

LUST IS NOT LOVE

The s is silent in Illinois

Queretaro would be cooler for you.


I am a brown woman born in 1942 Chicago, and you are correct. God will take care.I left the USA in 2021.

Move to Mexico. Work online on retirement income.
YOU still must be ALERT to deadly criminals in all occupations.
My parents and Chicago showed me how to survive in an honest way, and be moral and responsible.

I love you.

I live in Mexico, and I did buy emergency pesos, when i came here in 2021. Starting July 13, I will use my emergency pesos to pay rent for the next 5 months. My rent went from $673 per months to$874 per month for the same apartment, that I love. It does include all utilities, wifi, maid and security, and 100% beautifully furnished. My pensions comes on a USA debit card, and ATM fees are refunded. I always stock up on 6 months preps.

I paid $1900 per month for everything when i left the deadly and expensive USA at 79 in 2021. I do not want a Mexican banl account for it would be hard for my American family to get my savings.




Queretaro, but always be alert anywhere. Merida is too hot, and Acapulco had too many earthquakes.

Over 60 years coming to Mexico, all USA states., and all over the world on my own dime,

Allah u Akbar. God is great.

RIP everyone around the world.

The dollar is falling in Mexico, so rents are higher each month.

I was born in Chicago in 1942, then Oak Park, downtown, and last to Waukegan, before moving to Queretaro in 2021 at 79.

Queretaro works for me. Safe, Cool, and I have local friends.


Singaporean laws. Send all criminals from top to bottom to Ukraine and Sudan. Fentanyl tablet for all killers and rapists. Shave heads of males and females with felonies.


Leave the USA.

I worry about nothing, but that is how I am. I am retired, and at the age of 79 I do not need money from anyone, for I am a giver to non beggars, so they can help themselves. I do not like beggars, or scammers asking for loans or donations.

Keep your USA income, and just visit the different countries on vacation time. Never depend on donations. Help non beggars help themselves. Do not use any drugs. Trust only GOD. Keep written, audio, and video journals. Be married, even if you have separate homes, if you want sex and a baby after 35 for women, and 45 for me. You need your own space.

Queretaro works for me, after over 60 years visiting and living part time, and WORKING in the USA, Live where you can afford, and you are happy with the climate, safety etc.

Send all criminals from the supreme court on down to Ukraine and the Sudan,

Karma never loses an address. YOU will reap what you have sown.


I moved to Queretaro on 11-2-2021, and I am loving this city, and have lived in the same beautiful apartment, since day 1. At 79, I will stay here, until I die, and I will never take a test, pills, or injections, for I know my body. I am too old for visa runs, and I do have a highly recommended man, that will work for me. to get the temp retirement visa.
The people here have been super kind and respectful, and I am the same towards them. I do not have to walk, for I have many new friends with cars.

I wish the best for both of you, and so happy, that I worked from 7-70, and my pension supports me much better , than in the USA and it is safer, cleaner, and $850 less per month.
Mexico has been my favorite place, since I visited in 1962 at age 20, and fell in love with Acapulco, but not the 6 earthquakes, that I have experienced there and one hurricane.

I do speak Spanish as a second language. I love my own chicken wings etc. lol

All for now, and stay blessed and safe always.

I can live anyplace in the world, but since I am more familiar with my next door neighbor(Mexico), i am comfortable here. I am USA Muslim, and Africans are everywhere.
My DNA is African, First Nation, and Scottish. (grandfather). God has been great to me, and I am so thankful.

All lives matter....

Let go and let God always.

Thanks buddy❤

What to do with filled diaries when you don't want your family to read it

A lot of people say "journal at the same time everyday" but personally what works best for me is taking my journal everywhere and writing whenever and wherever I feel like it

I am starting journalling starting from today but i have no idea what to write. Maybe about the daily events?

how does this have so many views. just right stuff down.

Hello The Bliss Bean. How are you doing? I wanna combine journaling and painting 😊 After if i know what journaling is😂😂 i never journald before and i started writing things down in my a5 bamboo note book

Helpful 🎉

The point is: for those who may be in trouble but who are motivated to sort out
their problems , journaling will not make any difference ; for those who cannot change their lives despite years and years of therapy because of traumas, resentment ... In this case, also, keeping a journal will not be of any use either.
Journaling can only be a support for studying , exercising writing and improving style._ it is not a theray for a tortured soul.

I've journaled since I was probably 10 years old. Certainly not every day, but in fits and spurts filling up many journals.

What worked for me is:
-unlined paper
-experimenting with journal sizes until I found what works
-getting a journal that feels nice and/or looks nice
-the first and last entry is a summary of my life and the characters I might be writing about. This way, each journal stands on its own as a summary of my life at the time, and I can introduce family and friends all at once, so future hypothetical readers know who I'm talking about and I don't have to give all the context every time I introduce them (although I often do little introductions every time anyway).
-using my journal both formally and informally
-taking it everywhere
-doodling, adding stickers, ticket stubs, post cards and letters
-drawing what happened in my day sometimes
-writing notes from church, or writing whatever thoughts I don't want to forget.
-spend time formally recording my day, or whatever emotions I need to process, or whatever lesson I'm currently learning or pondering. I am not formal every day like this, but at this point in my life I can feel when I need to, and I'll also make time for it several days a week when the mood strikes.
-I like signing off my journals or having a little gimmick. I wrote one journal that was a series of letters to a fictional friend. Currently, I end journal entries with a media recommendation.
-journals do most of their work in the writing of them. Don't worry about whether you have anything to write. The act of writing is what matters. And after you've finished a couple journals, you might find that old shopping list, or that rant about your feet being cold, to be the most endearing parts. You don't know yet. You're capturing a sort of essence of your voice and you're life. Visiting younger you through these books can be incredibly satisfying, and more real than a picture album.
-finally, I like occasionally letting children draw in my journal, or letting my peers write in my journal like it's a yearbook. This feels less awkward if you do it on a vacation, or before you separate from people in some way (like moving). Having pieces of people you love in your book is a treasure, perhaps especially if those friendships drift apart, and you can fondly remember that friendship.

Do you guys think digital journals are better?

Love your room! And thank you for this video, really great❤

When she said that"This journal is purely for you no one is gonna quote it" I remembered about Anne frank 😅 she thought the same but now we al are almost familiar with her journal 😅❤❤.

What if somebody read my journal i'll be exposed 😢

Amazing video - thanks!

Thanks for the tips! I journaled for a year once, but i became too overwhelmed with exams to continue. After a year of not doing journaling, I decided to get back into habit, since it really helps me sort out my thoughts!

These tips really help me out because i tend to over complicate things, but now i see no reason to not start a journal again

Wow, these journaling tips are absolute gems! I especially love how the video provides 70 prompts to get those creative juices flowing. Journaling has truly been a game-changer for me, helping me stay focused, grateful, and motivated. It's amazing how putting pen to paper can bring so much clarity and positivity into our lives. Dear friends, have you started journaling yet? What are you waiting for? Let's take that first step towards self-improvement together! ✨📔💪

Are you a bts army

Qué lindo!! No se imagina donde a llegaría..... Que no se hacía tatuajes para no arruinar su piel... Menos mal..😂 cómo lo echo de menos......😢

Ok I saw ur video now and can I send you my LinkedIn profile to review

I was so nervous about journaling and struggling to write in it. You made me feel so comfortable with it. Thank you so very much ❤

Also me, hiding my journals. 🥲

Thank you for reminding us that we don’t need to record every single event that happens in our life and that it’s not a big deal if you want to leave things out of your journal, I needed to hear that.

😊 what's that reminder app? Looks really cool

I journal throughout the day, inbetween tasks 👍

Not the 50s music 😐 i feel old now

a therapy notebook makes the sessions way more worth it for what you pay,because you can then read everything that was said again and again and internalize without needing to hear those same words again

I just don’t understand the point of journaling.

Could I write two journals

One for my karate goals and one for my everyday tasks and goals.

Thank youu really loved it
