A journalling method that works ☀️

[@brittneyarsenov6204]

I tend to only write in my journal if I’m upset. This means I have over 10 years of info where if you were to find it after I’m gone you would think my life was horrible and super unhappy. 😂 I’ve had to leave a note explaining myself.

[@missangelxoxo]

Brittney Arsenov oh my god, I relate to this haaaard girl! 😂😂😂😂

[@emilyfagg349]

I used to do this as well!! I stopped writing the date at the top because I would look at it and be like "Why have I been depressed for x amount of years." I've also started writing titles at the top so that I know what I'm about to get myself into, instead of rereading sad journal entries and getting triggered. Hope this helps! :)

[@thatswhatisaid8908]

@@itslala oh, i know... But its so hard to let go. Some of those times were good, some of the writing is wonderful! But the bad parts!

[@susanharkema2888]

Me too!

[@nataliescott9119]

Saaaaammmmee. It’s like a book of misery 😂

Hey Michelle! Just wanted to say that even after being a long time subscriber, your videos still bring so much excitement and joy to my day - it grows every week! A fresh new video is like receiving a letter from an old friend in the mail. I love seeing the little changes in your video like a new font used or a different style of B Roll. Your efforts (and Luke’s if he still helps you edit) do not go unnoticed! Much love and a hug x

[@muchelleb]

You are so king!!! Sending ALL of my love your way girl, comments like these make me feel so appreciated. Lots of love and good vibes your way 💖💖

[@FabiolaSuarez]

Who else wants to get into journaling consistently?! ❤️

[@petitsjoujoux5011]

I started to journal when I was 7 year-old because I didn't have any friends so I can only write to myself. Now I'm blessed with close friends, but I'm so glad I've started journaling since I was small!

[@andreabnst6931]

I write in a diary since I'm 9 and now I'm 21. It's absolutely not an effort, I love writing what I did during the day and important thoughs. Getting things out, understanding myself better and being able to read my diaries later.

[@elisha_kl]

Lately I've felt like some of my emotions have been brooding, I've felt an urge to journal it out but didn't know how to in a helpful and enjoyable way. It just seemed like a lot of effort and most of the time it felt like the writing never ended and I kept going in circles! This method seems a lot more simple and helpful, I'm looking forward to giving it a go! 💗

I have a video going live tomorrow morning where I share 3 simple journal prompts that might help you if you want to check it out !

[@EmilyHummingbird]

I'm so early that I have to comment --- to whoever is reading this... Have a beautiful day and stay beautiful yourself.

[@alice_dck]

I’ve always been practicing intentional journaling. I am never forcing myself to write just because people say it is good to do so everyday. If I write in my journal, it is because I have thoughts in my head that need to be put into words. It is pretty natural to me, but I like how you talk about it and propose tips to help us grab an outsider perspective (even if sometimes just expressing our inner thoughts is healthy too!). 🤗✨

[@jeon_artemis]

I've struggled with the same dilemmas. So many times I've started journaling then I've stopped a few days or weeks after. And I especially like the promt "What would you say to your best friend?"; because we're far more judgemental when it comes to ourselves than we are to our loved ones. Thank you for this video. I'll surely implement the ideas in my own life.

[@F0reverblessed]

Great point! Find a way to journal that works best for YOU! Taking your thoughts out of your head and on to paper can really be helpful! From a self love content creator to another, I loved this topic Muchelle!! 💗

[@rebeccac4751]

New subscriber, love that your videos focus on alternate simplicities in self help that are very useful! Thank you.

[@AmyMartindill]

I’ve always wanted to journal but felt like you....like I was doing something pointless. :) thank you!

[@nosibusisocele984]

I love to journal. Writing your feelings and thoughts on a piece of paper feels much better than keeping them to yourself.

[@catalinareale]

I really liked the "what would my best self do?" question!! It seems super useful and helpful🖤🖤 I'm not one for journaling either but I'll definetly be using that one whenever I feel confused about what to do/how to act!

[@letsdomath1750]

I like your take on it. Intentional journalling is for scheduling compassionate self-reflection and deep introspection as needed to keep growing. I look forward to watching your focusing meditation video.

[@CheerReader]

Love that your videos are short and sweet and to the point! ❤️❤️

[@MarkGardiner1976]

I love journaling. It's such a great way to facilitate change.

[@tanyarenaissance8829]

I love journaling. I always talk about my day like a diary.

[@shouryakohok4359]

Your videos are changing my life!! I love you muchelle! And you're my favourite KZbinr! Keep those videos going! Much love and power to you❤️

[@muchelleb]

This makes me so happy!! Thanks girl 💛💛💛

[@imaginativecreativeyou8890]

Great video.Ive journaled for years but in a format of just jotting down what happened my experiences. I started a new journal thus year and its dedicated for my goals . Intentional journaling will be a great thing for me to implement in my dedicate goals journal. Thanks for this great video.

[@admirbarucija2018]

I’m excited to hear about your journaling technique, I’ve been trying to do a lot lore journaling while stuck at home!! I hope you’re having an awesome week 💜

[@HappierbySeppy]

[@angeldelgado8583]

You’re like an older wiser me visiting me and telling me how to get my life together, in every video 👏. Love it

[@juliascherzer834]

I can relate to sooo many things you're saying so much! It's crazy. Your videos often focus on the things I'm dealing with at the exact same time. I really appreciate your content so much. Thank you for being such an awesome person! ❤️

[@lagirl4648]

Journaling really helps me!💗

[@asialanzi5471]

ughhh girl i don't think you understand how much i adore you! your videos are honestly the only thing getting me through quarantine! so inspiring, so refreshing and so motivating that i finally found the courage to start my own chaninel, so i just wanted to thank you so much girl

[@muchelleb]

Wow, thank you! You are so kind - and CONGRATS for starting your own channel! That's a huge step! Sending lots of love and good vibes your way girl

[@shelley2he844]

I went to rehab a few years ago and one of the counsellors taught me to journal by asking myself questions 1 how was the day or period of time your referring to 2 what went well 3 what went wrong 4 what would I change in the future 5 what did I learn I love rereading my journals now and I find it's not all depressive whining which was what all my previous journal entries used to look like.

[@mindfulnessmolly9604]

Loved this! I always find myself journalling only the negative things in my life. I will definitely be trying some of these steps x

[@NoraTKD]

Great video Michelle, thank you for the breaking down the Intel thing. It is indeed interesting to get the outsider's view.

[@sisterclp]

I love this! Always up for new journaling methods...

[@SSLLatia]

such a helpful video in corona times: i would suggest to everyone to journal in these times. there are so many benefits!

[@JessicaBurgo]

I def need to make journaling a habit!

[@kattieczopkiewicz7361]

This was super helpful. I've always wished I felt the enjoyment others seemed to have from journalling on a daily basis so it's nice to know I'm not alone in the struggle

[@courtalton]

This could not have come on a better day! This morning I started journaling (again) but I didn’t really feel it...I think I will try this method instead!!

[@Br0ken_tv677]

The queen is back!

[@SummerQs]

oh wow i love your channel, it feels so relaxed and positive and it gives me such nice chill vibes ❤️

I still need to teach myself to journal properly 😅 intentional journalling sounds fantastic!

[@iamryanlittle]

Hey! You used my music in your video! That's so cool :)

[@sophieblack114]

Hi Michelle, i have a video request - ive set up notion, i love it when i use it but have not been using it everyday, sometimes i will go all week with out looking at it. I know i will get most benefit from using it everyday and a manual for life, i would love some ideas on how to improve my discipine or motovation for this

[@kassandraann1397]

Thank you for this video! I always try to journal but can't seem to stick with it!

[@nikorae5286]

As a first time daily journalist start with 3 - 5 lines a day the limited space forces you to be more intentional about what you write

[@sakshishah540]

I could relate so much to how boring journaling seemed until now!

[@tiffandtheword]

Yes I love journaling!! Excited for this video💛🙌🏾

[@kristinsc07]

There are inspiring people of color too! I love your channel and would love to see you diversify where you find your inspiration.

Hey girl! I had this exact thought when I was editing the video. Any suggestions for books to read, influencers to follow in the self dev area please let me know ❤️

[@caseynorthrop1139]

Pretty much my entire life till I graduated high school I journaled. Then "life" happened (12-13 years ago) and I stopped :/ I'm going to try to do this instead!

[@starlightbright]

What would someone who loved themselves do?

[@amara560]

It's actually been scientifically proven that free form journaling, writing down your thoughts without direction, has the potential to make you unhappier. Structured journaling, including some form of gratitude has been proven to be beneficial. Not all journaling is equal.

Such a great question, "How will ___ handle this?" I started morning pages and had to switch the complete stream-of-consciousness into stream-of-questions (documented it all here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGPZeHtpj7SBmaM )

I am an ardent follower of your vidoes! However, I couldn't finish this one because the background music was so distracting - it was giving me anxiety

Hi Michelle, I am so glad you have posted a video on a topic that’s close to my heart. I have just created my very first video few days ago. Please check it out. I have started my KZbin channel recently and you are one of the inspiration behind it.
