10 REASONS WHY YOU NEED TO START JOURNALING NOW!!!! 

She reminds me of Miss Honey from Matilda.

Despite me only being 14, I have over 120 filled journals. Not all are the type of journalling you are talking about, I mostly just write stories and fanfiction to deal with anxiety and other issues and I strongly advise anyone with mental health issues to write in any form. Whether it be journaling your feelings or days or writing stories and poems, it really really helps. 😁

My family reads my journals. They use the excuse that I'm "such a great writer" to justify why they dig through my stuff. That's why I no longer journal.

you remind me of Hannah Baker's mom in 13 reasons why

I’m 13 and I’ve been journaling since the start of 2016 and I’ve completed 2 big chunky books so far and will hopefully continue to write journals till I’m older, if you’re ever stuck on what to write about here are some journal prompts - Journal prompts ✨☁️ * write about all the zodiac signs. What they are like, have you met any, what they are in your life (best friend, friend etc) * Pick a year, maybe a year you/ friend/family was born find our important things that happened that year. The top song that played on the radio, the movie that won at the Oscars, any notable inventions? * Draw a alternative world. Maybe it’s the same current world but some of the people have horns? Maybe it’s a world in a hour glass? * Are you superstitious? If yes write/draw about your biggest superstition if no, write/draw about one that interests you. * Write/draw about how you feel at 3am. - Hope you find these helpful! Always remember that you don’t need to write about something “important” journaling can be about just letting your emotions out or making something creative it’s really up to you because after all this is YOUR journal and you are in charge just think of it as your space where you can express yourself however you would like! - If you’ve wanted to start journaling but want inspiration or even if you already journal I really want you to watch sosonia’s video on the channel “soulpancake” about journaling. whenever I’m out of inspiration or just want a creative boost I watch her journal flip through and it gets my juices flowing! I was on Pinterest the other day when I came across a paragraph about journaling and it really inspired me to get back to journaling when I wasn’t really feeling it so here is the paragraph! - I tell everyone this and I mean it. Buy a journal. Carry it with you wherever you go. And I mean everywhere. Write about your favourite moments, your least favourite moments, ideas, grocery lists, people you’ve met, strangers you’ve walked pass on the street, favourite quotes, words to remember, what the sky looked like at 7pm, new songs you’ve discovered and what they mean to you, your childhood, places you want to go to or places you have been, how you feel in the exact moment, draw out the mountains, scribble over the pages and then when it gets full, buy a new one. Reread it in 2 years, 20 years, when you need a good laugh, when you’re crying on the bathroom floor, read it to your children. You need to remember these moments in you’re life. They are so important. - Hope you found all this helpful and remember, all you need is a pen and a journal 😌

more flipthrough journals, please

I still hate the thought that someone could come along and read your thoughts

I've been reading my journal. It's funny how different I was last year. . . Ugh journaling makes me happy!

This is so beautifully put together! You are extremely eloquent and inspiring!

You can write down the super awesome things God has done for you that you can go look back on when you're discouraged!!

I love the way you talk! I was feeling burnt out for a long time and I stopped writing, but after seeing this video I think I can sit down in front of the white pages of my notebooks again without getting frustrated. (And maybe I'll start a personal journal as well) Thank you!!

I started journaling ever since I was 12 and now I'm 17. It's really fun to do.

I start journaling yesterday for the first time and I am in love!! You inpiring to start. Thank you!! ( sorry for my bad English I hope you understand anything of my comment haha )

Writing has saved my life so many times! Every time I journal I get to know myself better and I am learning how to manage my own emotions better. It’s a real life changer. And it's actually great for becoming more emotionally intelligent as well. You can process your emotions in a constructive way and learn something out of it. ❤️❤️❤️

1. Memory keeper and life story 2. Tool to figure yourself 3. Help to heal mental health issues 4. Increase writing ability 5. Release emotional issues 6. Safe space for yourself 7. Helps discipline yourself 8. Helps connecting with your dreams and ambitions 9. Ultimate selfcare tool 10. Makes you more creative Regards

I’ve been journaling daily for almost five months and it’s amazing! I had a lot of trauma built from my childhood and it’s given me a lot of anxiety and depression, journaling just makes me feel so much better. I now believe that everyone should keep a journal!

You've sold me on it. I'm going to start one tomorrow, the day after my 38th birthday. It's never too late. If you ever read this, which you most likely won't, do you know of any or have you read any famous journals yourself? I have and read Sylvia Plath's but I'm really keen to read others, especially other writers.

I'm 13 now and I want to start journaling like NOW! I've never seen a human who could inspire me that much in such a short time, so big thank you ! ❤😊

hey. i have this tiiiiiiny problem. i usually leave my journal at home and whenever i feel like writing my day i always end up summarizing my day and not going more deep. but then again when i bring my journal, i always forgot it's with me and i always feel like i'll lost it if i bring it with me LOL i am so torn idk what to do

I’ve been writing a journal since I was 12 years old! I still do it to this day I just keep thinking if my future self and how happy I will be to read them when I’m 30-50 years old

You've made me become obsessed with journaling. Thank you for that.

She's the reason why I started to be serious in journalling right now 🥺.

I started journaling years ago and I did find it to have benefits, it soon became a beautiful habit. I have though been slacking on it lately which I feel in time you feel the effects of that like a build up of emotions and thoughts. I also came across my first journal I started with and was such an awesome walk down memory lane and the fact that I had it written on pages and in my hands my partner and I were reminiscing how far we've come, the changes we've made and yeah I was happy I started! I'm happy to have clicked on your video, reminded me of the power of journaling daily. Was a beautiful boost, thanks 💖🙏

I've been journaling since I was eleven. Now I'm fourteen and the only thing I regret is that I didn't start sooner. Deciding to start a journal was one of the best decisions I ever made, and it was such an on-the-spur decision that it almost scares me how much those two seconds in which i decided to write my first entry changed my life. I can't say enough about how much I love journaling... It's beautiful, it's creative, it's sentimental...and I don't know where I would be now if I dropped away from it...

This was really inspiring. You're really a very positive & compassionate woman. ❤👍 Life's just good when people like you exists. ✨

another thing about journaling that made me want to start is that it can be a tool in therapy. what i mean is that you can get things out on paper and then later tell a therapist what you wrote (if you feel comfortable). this is especially important if you struggle remembering how you feel in the moment like i do.

I journal and I still watched this video. I literally wish you were my teacher!

Whenever I am in a journaling runt, I come to this channel and I am out of my runt 😁 thank you Tina!

This is a really amazing video, I love the fact that you didn't spend forever talking about each point like most RU-vidrs do. Ever since I was little i've loved to do writing assignments and I was always writing stories. When i was 6 my father got me a diary and I loved writing in it. A couple years later I stopped, but 2 years ago I picked it up again. It honestly really helps me put my mental clutter in an organized fashion, for whether I'm sad or angry. Point is: I enjoy wtiting, and great video

I honestly needed this. I don't have anyone to talk to about my emotions mostly and I guess this will be of great help.

You voice and your words are so soothing. I have tried to journal my entire life and always ended up getting frustrated and throwing away my journal. I just bought a new journal and I'm excited to start! Thank you for the inspiration.

One of the best things about journals is being able to check exactly when some things happened in your life if you've forgotten the year or date. I've written journals since age 6 and it feels weird to think that I'd stop one day. I was/still am always excited to write it down when something big happens, as if you'd wait excitedly to tell a friend. I am a born writer and when I don't have inspiration for fiction I must write at least something so I write journals. I also start to miss handwriting if I only write on my computer

Thank you for your valuable and inspirational insights. I follow the famous KISS Principle (Keep It Simple & Short). Before retiring each night, I journal by answering these 3 questions: 1) Today, what am I grateful for? 2) Today, what did I achieve or accomplish? 3) Today, what negatives took place (egs. problems, stressors, worries, frustrations, etc.). It takes only 15 minutes or less and is very helpful.

All youre videos are so inspiring! You and youre videos made me fell back in love with journaling. Only i would love to learn more about selfdiscovering through journaling. What kind of topics do you know i can write about to learn more about myself. What helped/ helps you to write about youre feelings, your dreams ect? God Bless You 💖

I'm convinced! (plus I did buy a mini journal which I haven't touched in a while) subscribed! ☺ Thanks for the video and have a nice day. x

Hey, love the video. I am a creative person “Photographer” and I always wanted to start a journal but coming from a family full of men I got a lot of negativity about journaling. Now that i am older I am trying to get into it. The reason why I am writing you is because I have this big problem. I want it to be perfect so if you were to go into my office you would see a bunch of 1/4 filled books and then I would run to the art store for another. I cant keep this up and wanted to know how to overcome this.

When you mentioned journals as"archive of life", it reminded me of my client, an elderly lady in nursing home who wrote journals her whole life, like since 9 or 10yo. When she moved to the facility, she took them with her but after a while they "got lost". Most likely they ended up in trash or idk. I cannot imagine this would happen to my journals, it can be really something to deal with... so yeah, just to say that these archives of life can get lost sometimes.

I'mma start naming my journals Jiminy Cricket

Yes!!! I want to jump up and go to my journal! Peace friend ✌️

For about a year I always played with the thought of really starting a journal but never REALLY started one that was just a journal for myself and nothing else. This video gave ke the final spark to pick up a notbook and just start writing. Thanks !!

Just loving your words, I'm so impressed with the way you talk about journaling. Thanks!! I'm going to write again, just listen to you and I'm feeling inspired to do it one more time

Thank you so much, I am happy that you got all of us to journal out everything!!!♥️

Oh my god, you are amazing! Thank you so much! I journal for two years now and you gave me so much motivation to don't stop, insipration and so much good energy. Love you 💕

Your videos give me peace... And journaling has helped me grow as a person so...... thank you for getting me into it

Tina I agree I agree with your last statement completely. I work at a job that's vary uninspiring most days so when I get home I create beautiful pages to let my creativity flow

Lovely Tina, you're always so chill and awesome and informative! Thank you for this!

I sent this to my daughter! I love this! I’ve been journaling for a long time. Thank you for this! 🙏🏻

Excited for a new one! I was keeping myself occupied by playing your journal playlist just because I like listening to them and you have a really soothing voice.

Thank you so much. I hope it'd bring the boost in my creativity. Writing 4-5 hours of day is my schedule now. After watching this I'm just that inspired. Keep up the good stuff.

💜💜💜💜💜 this video was so beautiful! i'm behind on your vids and SO needed your gentle and loving presence tonight, thank you for what you share here!! it is such a blessing, tina! I've been journaling since I was 7 and I LOVE this video. Isn't it incredible how journaling never gets old? 😍😊

Your expressed convictions regarding journaling is clearly seen. Inspirational.

This is awesome! I journal everyday, am a writer, and you just inspired me to a whole new level. Journaling brings me peace no matter what's going on in my life. It's my personal problem solver and my best support. It's lovely to see another's passion. It's beautiful! Thanks!

I've started journaling a few days ago and this video really motivates me to continue journaling. Thank you so much!

Very well said! I journal myself, and have found it to be very beneficial. You do such a great job of explaining its advantages!

love your energy, passion, and clear voice. Im inspired to re-visit my dormant practice of journaling. Most of my journaling has been in form of mind maps for learning and reflecting.

Your sound is soothing my soul! I will start Journaling now.

It's my first time on this video, but I already fell in love with your spirit. You remind me of a friend who used to give me such advices. I enjoyed every freakin' second listening to you. Such passion in your words, your eyes told me how much you love what you're doing, and honestly, that's my favourite thing about people. When they talk about what they love. Even though my friend is far from me right now, I could feel her presence in you. It's like I'm having two versions of her and that makes me happy. 💗😻 I personally love journaling and I started writing in a diary since I was 9. I love art, I have tons of sketch books, journals and diaries. They mean so much to me. They are a part of my soul. 💗

I paused the video and grabbed my journal that I usually open up to once a month or so. I have been putting it off for a while and when I watched this I was just so inspired that 40 minutes went by without me even noticing! Thank you! I will try my best to journal everyday 🙌🏼❤️.

This is so true! I look back at when I first started writing and my writing skills have improved also my thought process improved. Sometimes I felt so much anxiety from no one to talk to and so much to say and now I dont feel the need to socialize like I use to I'm okay with being alone. Life changing

This is wonderful and beautiful advice that is so true and I'm going to show this video to my mom (I've been trying to convince her to start journaling)!

I love you cause you seem like a calm and peaceful person ILY❤️

Appreciate you keeping it concise and to the point mate, thanks. Good motivation to start

Writing has helped get me through a bunch of Point in my life whether I was doing really well or I had falling into a slump journaling always has a way for me to express my feelings in a way different from any other. This video is very inspiring and helpful to keep writing and no that is very important thank you.

Loved the video! I'm starting a journal today :) thank you for all the tips!

Hey Overall Adventure, thank's for this inspiring video. I used to write a journal a few years ago, but then stopped it completely. For some months now, I had the urge to write down what bothered me or just memories I want to be able to remember for the rest of my life. Your video was a huge incentive, so I just got on my bike to buy a journal and some other stuff for decoration (of course ;D). I think it will really help me in the next months. So thank's a lot again for making this video!😊

i started journaling like a month ago, and i can feel that everything you said is true

I have seen a lot of youtubers suggesting on starting a journal, and this video really inspired me to start writing a journal of my own 😊 thank you for this 💜

Went and bought me a journal today and looked up journal videos and came across your channel im so in love im literally going through all your videos so i can start my journal journey soon

Loved this video! Thanks for the points. I started keeping a daily journal recently and it's been helping a lot with my clarity and stress.

I've just discovered this video☺️I love your passion for journaling! I use bullet journals personally but I want to incorporate journaling with it! You've inspired me to do that. Have a great day! ☺️

Initially I was a little skeptical as I usually am when it come to anything that I am not comfortable with but after listening to your convicted summery of why journaling is important I agree with all of the points that you have made. Journaling is a free space for one to express themselves and to find a FREE environment to completely express yourself is hard found in this day and age. To have a physical record of your thoughts is an indispensable asset to the understanding of ones history and personal development. Cheers! keep doing what you are doing and thank you for the video!

I have been journaling for years and I love it.

you seem like a spiritual and positive person. i subscribed immediately

Thank you greatly for this it soo awesome I've always wanted to start journaling because right now I'm just currently experiencing anxiety and it soo difficult. I'm so happy that I found this video. You voice is soo calming by the way.

Thank you for the lovely video. This summer I just lacked journaling because my depression got so bad and it just held me back from doing anything. But after watching just a minute into this I just grabbed my journal I just bought, and wrote. Even though it was only two pages I got so much out. Even if it's just about how sucky and cringy I sound when I write about my feelings it felt amazing. Thank you ❤️ I'm definitely going to journal more and not hold back or have a guide on how my journal should be. Because everyone is different and there way of expressing themselves, and that's okay.

I come here because I was confused about difference between diary and journal but I found a great video. Anyway I just have 35 journals but I lock them as a diary. After continuing my study at university I seldom share to my diary. But I do journaling every time I need to write down. Thank you so much😘 bcs after watching this video I am motivated to keep journaling. People surrounding me said I am weird but I really love my flaws. Thank you and love from East Timor😊😊

I recently found this channel! And It feels so peaceful! I wanting to write my thoughts down for years! My now I think I'm ready to deaicate myself to it now

I love your video so much!😍 The first time I watched it I feel every word that you're saying..it's like talking to my heart and soul🙏💕💓 thank you so much!! you are such an inspiration

Thank you so much, I had a horrible day, just watching you talking about journaling calmed me, you feel so authentic, thank you

I was so excited to see this video since I just said yesterday that I need to get back to journaling! I was watching your older videos and got inspired so thank you 😊💕

i have been journaling since i was 8 years old 😄and i still keep a journal

I love you, thank you. New sub.♡ Now that I remember I used to write a lot when I was at my worst with anxiety... but I forgot, and I tend to forget a lot of my precious memories. Right now I'm feeling lost again and I really thank you because you made me remember there was a way I could be relaxed and find myself. Thank you so much, I'll try it again.

Thanks for these vlog. I have a motivation to start again to write and journaling, especially when I feel so down and no one to talk to.

Thank you so much for being a great inspiration! ❤ I actually have been journaling since I was a little kid, but it was on and off because I tend to forget to write on my journal/diary 'coz I get distracted by my phone. 😢 And now that I'm 13 years old, I started to write again, because of you!!!! Love u!!! ❤❤❤

Just started journaling and i must say I'm very shocked with how many pages i filled up. Your tips are spot on and will be watching more videos about this journaling Journey

Thank you for this video. I journal off and on, but I never heard of journaling in this kind of context. Listening to all of the awesome benefits, made me feel more motivated to express myself in journaling more often. Having this new understanding, I will have the beneficial aspects in the uppermost of my mind to make me do it.

Loved this a lot. Thanks for sharing.

Wow this is life changing how you broke down everything. Bless you thanks for this!😁

I love you and your videos so much!! Thanks for being so inspiring!!!! You've really helped me so much now and in the past!!!!! 💕💕💕

maybe a bit late to start this habit (i'm 17), but i hope i can control my emotions and minds by doing this and be a better person someday! your video is everything, tina. thank you! i hope you will be always happy wherever you are :)

Wow I'm so excited to start writing..Writing about my feelings helps me with my mental health
