1. Write your emotion 2. What caused the emotion 3. What other deeper thoughts I’m holding 4. When have I felt this before 5. How I want to feel 6. Challenge the thought, is that really true? My or other people thoughts? 7. What is the true? 8. What things prove that I am capable? 9. How can I walk this true today, make the true familiar.
For the first time in my life, I know what journaling is. I am taking a class where I have to write a journal about my thoughts on the subject of Human Services. I feel more knowledgeable on how to tackle this journal assignment, thanks, and keep doing whatever you're doing because it's helping me, thank you very much.
Awwww LeeMar! Thanks so much, that means a ton friend!! I’m so glad I could help you get a better understanding of journaling for both your assignment and in life in general 🤩🤩🤩 don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any questions at all! You’ll be a journaling expert in no time! 😄☺️🤗🤗🤗🎉🎉
Meditation helps me when I feel anxious, upset, or anything but okay. It allows me to focus on breathing and be present. I do this when I wake up and go to bed. Journaling intrigues me but I never know where or how to start.
I have been helped with my mental health issues so much by journaling. I love how you presented this video to include information about why people experience mental health issues so differently. This was brilliant! So glad I found this video.
Awww Heidi!! I’m so glad you found it too! 🥹🥹💕💕🤗🤗 so happy it resonated with you and love to hear that journaling has made such a positive impact on your mental health!! I can so relate! ✨💕🙌🏾🥹 sending you hugs friend!!!

I do not speak English, but this did not prevent me from watching your beautiful video like you, I turned on the subtitles and enjoyed your ideas and advice, thank you very much 💕✨
Thank you for all your wonderful insights, advice and pointers. I’m new to journaling and these have really helped me. Thank you for doing this for all of us!
I seriously can't thank you enough. Before watching this video I was completely in blank. Because I had a lot of feelings and thoughts and I didn't know where and how to start. You guided me and I've been for the past hour answering all those questions and wrote three pages. It helped so much. I'd never done this before, I really liked it. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

This is. my favorite video on journaling for mental health because Nae makes the process straight forward, clear instructions and provides useful tips in a fun and engaging way! Nae’s method provides me with a way to start the process of getting my emotions and thoughts on paper in a way that encourages me to practice mindfulness, manifesting and taking action with this useful tool in a way that empowers me. i love her work!

I enjoyed this video so much. I started using The Five Minute Journal 5 years ago and it was a life changer for me. It taught me how to weave the practice of gratitude in my daily life. Thanks for all that you do for those of us who need a bit more help to be positive.
I recently had surgery, I need to write in a journal asap! After surviving being quarantined, I feel like "here I go again" when my 6 week recovery started. Fortunately, I had the surgery in February, so staying in was good. I can't wait til I'm fully recovered, I'm ready to write!🖊🖋📖📓
Aawwwww yesss Pockahantiss!!! Well first I’m glad it seems you had a successful surgery! 🤗🤗. Writing will be so therapeutic for you I am so sure!!! And an added bonus to your healing process (plus it will be great to look back at this time in your life later down the road). Let me know if you need anymore tips!! Sending you love my friend!!! 😄😄♥️😍😍
I'm a Journaling newbie and found your channel... You have inspired me to not be afraid to actual pick up the pen and start... I have been wanting to write from Jan. 1st onward but now have the courage to put on paper my feelings, inspirations, and mind dumps! Love that expression! First entry tonight!!! Wish me luck!!! 😃
I stumbled on your first journalling video a few days ago and I sub and I'm glad I did. I've been suffering from BPD and anxiety for years and this will really help always wanted to try it but somehow your video convinced me. Thank You....love from Trinidad and Tobago
Mzz Honey!! I'm so glad that you're here! I live in the states but my fam is from Jamaica so we're basically neighbors haha 💕😊❤️❤️❤️ And the fact that I could help you take the plunge into journaling means the world to me! Anxiety is something I have dealt with in my life too and this practice as well as others have helped me tons! I'm sending my prayers and sincerest hugs and love to you my friend!! ❤️❤️❤️ (Also, let me know if you still had trouble downloading the guided worksheet, if so, I've got you!)
I just started journaling again. I was going through so much to the point I thought I was loosing my mind. My mood and behavior had changed. After I started journaling again I am feeling so much better. I am still dealing with a lot of things but in a more positive way. Even my husband saw a change. He told me to continue to journal if it's working. I am going to keep this in my daily routine.
So good - I love these exercises. Journaling is definitely one of the practices that help me so much through the past 12-18 months! Love your videos as always Nadene! :)
I love your energy Nae! So happy for a new video. Journalling really changed my life to be honest, it helped me out with my mental health loads!! There's been many other components of course as I think healing mental health is a very holistic thing, but journalling is most definitely extremely helpful!! xoxo
Heyyy Katie!!! I absolutely loveee having you here girl!!! 😍🥰❤️ And yesss I absolutely, although journaling helps tons, mental health is incredibly holistic!!! I love how your channel talks a lot about that too!!! So much value! 🥰❤️ Thanks for being here girl!!!
Thank you so much for this video. This video was made really well, thoughtful and easy to follow. I've taken a lot of notes from watching this video and I believe I will able to journal and articulate my thoughts and emotions better using your tips! Much appreciated!
Thank you for the enlightenment of the fact that as important it is to conjure thoughts and visions of how you want life to occur, the next step is to make an affirmation as if those conditions are already prevalent; what better to do this than IN WRITING! Thank you my friend!🙏
Awww thank you so much Afro Sizimmer 😍😍😍😍 I appreciate it friend!! But mannn for you and me BOTH! I don’t know what I would do if all my thoughts were locked in my head 24/7 loll. Thank you Lord for this resource!! ☺️🙌🏾😍
Journaling is helping me through a rough breakup right now. I've come to some realizations because of this. And now I only wish that I had started journaling in general a lot sooner
Thanks Nae!! Loved the video! You are like me! I love to Express ALL of my emotions with journaling but a lot of people said that you should only write only positive things. I highly disagree with that because I feel like I'm not being true to my self because life is not always happy as peaches and cream. LOL Have a great day!!! 😊❤
Yes yes yes Giona!!! You are so welcome friend! And I couldn’t agree more! 😍♥️♥️ Our emotions don’t go away just because we choose not to address them. Ignoring them is not the way to release!! I hope you have an amazing day as well Giona!! 😍😍♥️
Just listening to you talk about this journaling technique helps me! 😆 Your energy is AMAZING!! I love journaling to turn thoughts on their head and to find the truth. It’s amazing to see what all you can learn about your thoughts through this exercise.
Hahah awww thank you Erin!!! You're so sweet and kind!! YESSSS though!!!! that is absolutely something I love about journaling! We don't always realize that our thoughts (often negative) are ruminating in our minds day all day long if we don't take the time to address them. I LOVE journaling for that!! Thanks so much for your support girl!! 🤩💛💛
@@NaesLaughAbsolutely :) Isn't it crazy how our subconscious mind works? I get it wants to keep us safe, but I feel like being our biggest fan is far more required than keeping us in our comfort zone. Just imagining how different the world could be with that one change is inspiring.
Aw Mann thank you Emilia!! That means a lot my friend! You’re so so welcome! Comments like yours makes it SOO SO worth it!! ♥️🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾😘 I so appreciate you!!! 😍♥️🙌🏾
I’m so glad I found your channel. You are so positive and encouraging. My daughter journals and loves it, but I’ve never gotten into it. I think I may give it a try using your suggestions.
Hi I suffer with mental health problems and I have been told that I need to maybe try journalling to help manage my mental health so I’m just on my journey at trying to make a journal to help with my mental health and was so pleased to come across your video. What is the difference between journalling and when people write a diary?
every now and then I get the willingness to start journaling BUT......i drop the idea immediately because I don't want to come face to face with my feelings and what's going on with my life.
Aawww hahah thank you Michaela!!! You are the sweetest!!! 😄😄😍♥️ please consider me your friend! I consider you mine! 😄😄♥️ I hope to continuously bring moments like this and even develop opportunities for more one on one time in the future as well 😄♥️😍 that is definitely the goal! 😄♥️😍🙌🏾🙌🏾. So appreciate you girl!! Let me know how the journaling goes!! 🤩🤩😄🙌🏾
1/26/24. I’m a mental health teacher at an alternative school. I going to start using your videos. I can’t find the work sheet for the mental health journaling
Hi Loralyn!!! I’m so happy you’re here! I’d love to send you a link to the mental health journaling worksheet. Just send a quick email to hello@naeslaugh.com and we’ll have that sent right over to you! 😍♥️ also so grateful for you in the work you’re doing as a mental health teacher! And grateful that my videos can be used a tool for you and your students! Blessings upon blessings to you! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

girl i need this i’m struggling with depression && having issue with my weight all together is a lot on me 🤩. and i have so many book that i wrote stuff in but i never finished lol in when i write it like i can’t think of any things else lol how can i finish the rest of the page
Ahhh girl!! Thanks for reaching out to me on this 😍😍 I can completely relate to feeling stuck on a page or not knowing what to write. The question I would be - do you feel mental clarity or at least a little more space in your head once you stop or do you feel like there’s more in there that you’re either consciously or subconsciously holding back. If it’s the former, I would say you’re doing it right, don’t pressure yourself to do a length that you think is “suitable”... the most important thing is that you feel the space that you need. If it’s the latter and you feel like you have more mental clutter to express about your emotions or weight or people’s opinions or whatever it may be, I would say first - try to get comfortable with being UNcomfortable if you know what I mean. Feeling all the feelings and bringing it to the surface is HARD! But our fear of them could actually be stopping us from the relief that we need ♥️♥️♥️ something that can help you almost take a more objective approach to it is journaling prompts. If you need a few specific ones feel free to email me at hello@naeslaugh.com and I’ll send you some 😄♥️. Just know that it won’t be uncomfortable forever Kell 😊... the more we train our minds and bodies to “go there” the easier it will become ♥️♥️♥️ let me know if this helps!!
How long does it usually take for everyone to do this? I did my journaling using these prompts and it took me roughly 2 hours to get all of the questions done, which is too long. I wonder if there's any other way to make the process go faster, or maybe I just need to do this often enough that I'll eventually get used to it.
Such a good question Spectators Gaze! When I first started this, it would take me hours as well but now it’s actually something I can do fairly quickly. When it’s new it takes you a little longer to process or access your feelings / thoughts / causes etc but the more you do it the easier it’ll be to access in real time. Now when I am triggered I can immediately identify the cause of it because it’s something that has come up before even if it’s a different circumstance. You’ll realize that the reason behind your triggers - ie what you’re making them mean - unless dealt with, can remain relatively consistent… so then it’s just working on the reframing part of it. But definitely stick with it friend, it’s worth the time you’re taking to diligently go through each step now so that you’ll be able to process it much quicker (even in real time) later ♥️
