How I Start & Plan my Bullet Journal + Useful Beginners Tips! ☆

[@brookssnozek4153]

Your voice is so soothing and encouraging. Thank you for making these videos. They are truly inspiring and embolden me to try and not have expectations of perfection. Again, thank you.

[@christinemylinh]

Sending you lots of love and a very long hug! 💕

[@kimberlyhoward7896]

Self-doubt is our own worst enemy. I have problems just trying to decide what to create in whatever projects I’m doing. The brain storming in another journal is a must for me. But art and drawing are going to take a long time for me to learn, and that’s the fun of it😊. Trying something new. Thank you for sharing and take care 🤗💗!

[@christinemylinh]

I agree one hundred percent! Thank you so taking the time to write to me and I wish you the best on your journaling journey! 💕💕💕💕

I followed a lot here in KZbin but let me just tell you your bullet journal is the best. It has story and originality. Minimal but functional! Keep it up. 💖

[@christinemylinh]

Ah, your comment is so sweet, I am all honored, thank you so much!! 💕💕💕

[@sr1673]

ChristineMyLinh you're welcome. 😘 please make a video how to draw animals for beginners. I can't draw 😭 thank you 💖

[@christinemylinh]

Haha, I have one up that you should be able to follow, make sure to pause it as much as you need to! 💕

[@esther81828]

I like it that your bullet journal is an actual project each month. It looks so complete and well-planned, and I like the way you treat journaling; it almost feels like something sacred. :)

[@alexfielding-smith153]

love seeing the creativity of different bullet journallers and seeing the simplicity of spreads that others choose

[@ahlesis]

I've been watching a lot of bullet journal beginner videos and though they share useful tips in planning, I love your planning process! I especially love how you use separate journals or sketchbooks to allow yourself to be inspired and draw freely to help you out. I'll definitely give this a try to help myself with my journaling journey 💓💓

[@1moonstar3]

You are a touch of spring in my world. Inspiration pulls at me with every piece you share and my day brightens each time I see a new video. ❤ I wish you many years of growth and prosperity. Thank you.

[@christinemylinh]

Aw, your comment felt like a hug that I needed today! Thank you so much and I hope you have a wonderful day! 💕

[@alinamarie22]

Your painting of the two rabbits listening to music is so cute! I love it.

[@christinemylinh]

Aw thank you so much!!! 💕

[@eileen-ezlivinglearning9415]

I started my bullet journal when I started my cancer journey. During my year off work I found it very focusing platform for my creative mind. Thank you for your inspiring channel.

[@jenwessleman9317]

Love that you showed us your process...it doesn't just happen out of thin air. You really work hard prepping and planning your magnificently beautiful layouts. Phew! Talent also takes work and also some critical thinking 😘

[@madieferr966]

I've been writing poetry and art through my journal for the past 3 years and next year I will FINALLY start my own bullet journal. It felt just right like all I've been doing is a preparation for this. I'm scared but also excited. Wish me luck!!!

[@dolphinhamster7]

"imperfection adds character" i love your positive vibe~

[@christinemylinh]

Thank you so much! 💕💕

[@christinemylinh]

Thank you so much!!! 💕💕💕

[@federicajuon9572]

Watching your videos in general and this in particular make me learn so so much. I've learn that I love to bullet, love to draw(which I didn't do for a lot), learn that I just need to start and try even though I'm not good as you are, even if I lack of inspiration, I just can scroll on pinterest and from one image I can start building my idea and go on. I love everything you draw and all you say. I feel so luck that I found your channel. ❤️

[@foxterry-welsh5926]

I was back to watching your videos after a break for a while, and I went out and bought a sketch book, some 2B pencils, and a set of water colors. I'm really enjoying drawing out a storyboard of my month, and even though it's 7 days in and I haven't actually started my journal this month, I am really loving this process. Thanks for your lovely and inspiring videos. (Also, I love Big Magic.) Thank you. I really appreciate you.

[@stacyspence8586]

So happy to have found your channel. You are so inspiring and soothing to the soul. I could just watch you make art all day.

[@lindacurtis589]

Such a thought provoking video! Thank you Christine for sharing your thoughts, your inspirations and your journey! Your voice is so soothing and enjoyable to listen to! I am relatively new to journaling and have no drawing talent. Right now I copy others and look forward to the day I come up with my own treasure!

[@akhiro6279]

Your art is indescribably moving and I wish you happiness.

[@StitchesbySharonH]

I love how you emphasized that we are all different and so our journals will all be different. That gave me permission to not be intimidated by seeing amazing artists (you included) and not to compare myself and get discouraged. I also wanted to ask if there’s a specific brand of No. 2 pencils that you recommend? Thank you!! 💜💜💜

[@tigerlilylynn]

As someone who has an all function, no form bujo (I'm hopeless with art) I really enjoyed seeing your creative process. Actually, in general, watching your creative journey with your characters has been really unique and inspiring.

[@christinemylinh]

Aww, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, I was "awwing" as I read it! Hugs to you! 💕

[@jessicaannjensen7348]

You are the most inspiring person i have come along during my binge-watching of journaling videos! I am gratefull that you choose to share your thoughts with us. You are so brave girl!❤️ Much love and support

[@katek3324]

I think your music choice for this video was stellar. Also I want to say this is such a great video, giving people many ideas on how to find something inspiring to create a wonderful plan no matter their/our abilities lay. Another great thing is that these are all ideas people can use when they want a starting point. So that is it, a few reasons why I think this video is so helpful and relaxing at the same time.

[@swan183]

I love how you tie together all your spreads with a story. I look forward to seeing what journeys the bunny and bear take each month!

[@lauraleighann9941]

I am always amazed by your set ups and your out look on life. Your videos are encouraging, uplifting, and beautiful to watch. I see your bullet journal as both and art journal and a place to organize your life, in a way, 2 in one 😊

[@christinemylinh]

Aww well said, thank you so much for taking the time to leave me a comment! I hope you have a wonderful day! 💕

[@roseannrosillo9623]

Its so nice to get a behind the scenes kind video from you. I myself am struggling with the creative process. I blanked at a theme for my March journal. Your suggestions are wonderful and Im going to try listening to an audio book or write words out when my mind blanks out. So ty!!

[@tanyasains6500]

Beautiful work! EG is one of my favorite authors and this book did not disappoint. Keep being your beautiful soul self!

[@beadt2579]

Imho you shouldn't have doubts about whether you're good enough in what you do. I truly think you're an awesome and greatly talented artist 😘

[@cristinamagurean]

You are so incredibly talented, Christine!!! Never doubt yourself and your creativity!!!! I love your channel and your work!!!

[@christinemylinh]

Aw, I definitely needed you message today! Thank you so much for the encouragement and I hope you have a wonderful and happy day!! 💕

[@cristinamagurean]

Christine I actually found you through one of my daughters who lives in Barcelona and she introduced me to Bullet Journaling, as well. We are both in love with your videos and we are so happy every time you post a new one! It is quite incredible to me that such a talented young lady as yourself would ever feel any doubt about your own beautiful work. I wish you all the best and sending you lots of positive energy. all wrapped up in my admiration for you and your talent!!!!

[@heyyitsmelina]

omg, you are so organized in terms of your bullet journal! I think for the month of April I'm going to try to plan out more of the month! Thanks for inspiring me xxx

[@GalacticHoneyBee]

Your journals are so beautiful. I especially love all of the little animals. I can't wait to start my own bullet journal.

[@sheilaklein3822]

I loved this video! I really appreciate being able to see the process, and that these beautiful illustrations take time and a lot of work.

[@kcatfish2268]

You are my favourite journaler your videos are so different and your voice so soothing.

[@michaelawinter4793]

Thank you! I love your journal bc it tells a story! This makes it so unique! And your voice is calming! To watch your videos at the end of a stressed day brings me down - so thank you again! And also your drawings are so cute! Best wishes and greetings from Austria!

[@amandab304]

Beautiful and inspiring artwork. Thanks for sharing your talent with the world!

[@1mp3nd1ngd00m]

This is so helpful and beautiful! The thing I’m worst at is planning and when I don’t plan, get ahead of myself and screw up, I get so discouraged sometimes. Thank you for the tips!

[@tatianasilva580]

Thanks for sharing this tips!! And I agree with you "imperfections add character" 💕💕

[@jazzynovakovic]

Those bunnies listening to audiobook are everything ❤️❤️❤️

[@christinemylinh]

Hahahaha, I feel in love with them too! Thank you so much for the support and I hope you have a wonderful day! 💕

[@rivachiang1421]

I keep thinking about starting a bullet journal, even bought the journal but just feel intimated to make everything perfect - this video was just what I needed

[@christinemylinh]

Ah, I am all glad the I could help!!! Wishing you the best on your journey, you'll do great! 💕

[@Victoria_KB]

I feel like this is really going to help me plan ahead. I find I recently really struggle with feeling inspired to do art in my bullet journal so the pages are left undecorated, that then builds up, and I never find the mood to back-fill them. So, I have a tonne of artless pages and I hate that. Those are some really great tips though, so thank you very much for this video! Also, it's great to see somebody else's obsession with looking through Pinterest for inspiration, haha. Hope you're having a wonderful day! ❤️

[@christinemylinh]

Aww Victoria! I am so glad I could help! It just takes a quick decision sometimes to just jump right in, no matter what, but that is easier said than done. And yes, Pinterest feels like a rabbit hole for me, I can just keep scrolling and clicking and it's never gets old, it just gets better! I wish you're having a great day as well! 💕💕

[@Victoria_KB]

Yeah, that is the hardest part. Sometimes I spend such a long time sketching things and I end up hating it all anyway. Mostly it's fine though, I think I just need to plan a bit more. 😊 I know exactly what you mean! I can spend hours on there non-stop, everything is so gorgeous! And thank you very much! ❤️

[@asdf-ghjk-1234]

It's really nice to be able to see the whole process! It gives me inspiration for my own spreads

[@christinemylinh]

Aww I am so glad!! Wishing you the best on your journey! 💕💕💕

[@lyzwu6594]

What a great video!!! I always watch your videos to relax and to gain new ideas and simply feeling inspired. As you always try to give really good advises for life I wish you a wonderful life filled of joy and laughs!

[@livvyx99]

Wow, I'm just new to the entire bullet journal idea, or at least to do it for myself. I have just started setting up and am also new with all the youtube videos. I just found your channel and I already love it. It is exactly what I am looking for in bullet journaling! Your videos are giving me so much inspiration, and I am so excited to start my own bullet journal! THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@christinemylinh]

Aww, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful message! Ah, I am humbled! I am so excited for you too and I am wishing you the best!! 💕💕💕

[@yaletzybedoy9950]

Your videos are so soothing. I get so excited when you post a video ❤

[@Daguini]

Beautiful explanation of the creative process. I really like your use of black and white with a touch of gold. The French woman that I am finds it very "raffiné et élégant"!

[@euniceliu96]

so touched you really do a video on finding quotes inspiration, and put a lot more in one video~~ this is really good quality😭

[@christinemylinh]

Ah thank you! I wanted to share all this with you!! Knowledge is meant to be shared! 💕💕💕

[@edelineravenel8799]

you are so mature and inspiring !!! all you said is so true !!! I am trying to keep up because I have the same issues. And listen to you is a big boost. Thanks !!!

[@kirstenpost3434]

Really helpful video! Like it to see what you do behind the final page. It surprised me how much you do before! 💖💖

[@LifeDIYJosie]

Hi Christine, I've watched a lot of bullet journaling videos, but you are by far the most inspiring! I can tell with your videos how beautiful you are inside and out! I really would like to add some artistic flair into my Bujo. I am stopping by often to get more inspiration. Thanks so much! Enjoy your Sunday! Hugs~ Josie :)

[@fairinas]

I first found your channel through your march 2018 bullet journal setup, and i instantly fell in love with your drawing style!!:) Looking more at your videos, i get amazed on how you do the diys. Hope you'll keep doing more of them!

[@Hari_chi]

I seriously admire you ♥️ You’re really honest in all of your videos so when you talk about insecurities and motivation, many times I can see my own problems and understand that kind of situation so you inspire me a lot! 🖤 Also I’m always insecure about spending time planing and all that when everyone seems to just draw it and finished so I’m really thankful for this video💐 Your bullet Journal is beautiful and really inspiring so please keep up your amazing spreads ♥️

[@christinemylinh]

Aww your comment felt like a hug, thank you so much and I am so glad that I could help!! Hugs to you! 💕

[@minascore]

You're awesome. I started my first "bullet journal" on holidays (I think it was a July, maybe August) Now I'm starting my really bujo. I'm soo inspirated in you and your bujo. Thank you, next awesome video! 💕 Umm, greetings from Poland! 😊

[@thechroniclesoflz]

Wow... That was so so inspiring! Thank you for the time you take to tell your story... It makes me feel like I have permission to do the same in my own special way. I love the advice about taking time... It is the one thing I always feel I need to treat as a scarce commodity and that in itself can be stifling to progress. Such a lovely fresh perspective.

[@christinemylinh]

Aww, thank you so much for taking the time to not only watch the video but also sharing your thoughts on it. I am so grateful and to this day I still believe in taking time and giving ourselves some patience. Sending much love your way and a big hug! 😊

[@ephinys8169]

Wow, you are very dedicated! how beautiful. You should never doubt yourself. You are a wonderful artist and your kind words always reach out to those who need it the most. Thank you for that. I always look to your messages in your videos because they always lift me up :)

[@lindaliu8554]

What you said about perfectionism is so true and really inspiring for me, it's a matter of expectations and our own mindset. So happy I find out your channel, keep it up with the good work! ✨

[@christinemylinh]

Aw, thank you so much! Sending you a hug for such a comforting comment, I needed that today! 💕

Just would love to thank you because with your style and beautiful tiny friends I rediscovered the joy to try and draw forgetting about how bad I am at but just trying to do everyday and improve it.

[@christinemylinh]

Aww, I am sending you a hug and wishing you the best on your journey!! Thank so much for taking the time to share your thoughts with me, I am so happy! 💕

[@patriciashanahan8017]

So delighted for you the audio book sponsor so deserving. your voice has so much warmth joy love and kindness perfect for doing your own audio to your book you must to a sneak intro to audio voicing all your stunning characters.Could u do a video on simple black eyes for specific emotions as the how to draw animals were stunning. Idrew them in both pencil and gold gel pen with black.I smudged the gold gel drawing and it gave more depth to them. While I was sketching I noticed how every slight change in the eye direction shape size point or rounded shape and eeyebrow made such a difference. thank you for that video stunningly gorgeous illustrations and titles and descriptions bunny taking a break to simply smell the roses. 😊😊☺

[@briannag3854]

Your videos are always so calming. These tips are so great! and always inspire me to get back on my bullet journal despite all those fears. Thanks and keep making beautiful art!

[@christinemylinh]

Aww I am so glad!! Wishing you the best on your journey! 💕

[@dianeverrochi6468]

Thank you for sharing this. While I don't do much drawing in my bullet journal, I have been procrastinating some paintings I want to do for awhile. Your process is a good reminder that it is a process. Also, I love that audiobook too! So inspirational.

[@christinemylinh]

Yes it is, you'll get it done within the time you need to get it done! I am almost finished the book and it is simply empowering! Thank you so much for the love 💕💕💕

[@tlcsomething-ajournaljourn1431]

I love your minimal style & clean pages. Thanks for the giveaway offer.

[@MelRos29]

I'm struggling so much right now to find my own style. I haven't been drawing for years and I'm new to bullet journaling so I'm relying on the styles of others until I find my feet. For the time being at least it means I am just copying the designs I see on KZbin or Pinterest but I'm hoping to gain confidence and get better at planning. I'm so limited for time and my brain seems to have lost it's ability to be creative and come up with my own ideas. I feel like a failure for this but I'm trying to just work through it bit by bit.

[@christinemylinh]

Aw, I know how you feel and there is nothing wrong with following other artists work. I believe that through imitation you'll find inspiration, and you'll continue to get better at drawing and planning. Just take it one step at a time and celebrate the tiny victories! You got this! Sending you lots of love and a hug! 💕

[@MelRos29]

ChristineMyLinh thank you 💗 That means so much to me coming from you xxx

[@tanyasains6500]

I’ve been there as well, in and out of many years of finding and losing creativity. The book Christine references will probably help you, it helped me start that fire again.... although my 9-5 keeps has turned into an 8-8 with stress, on the weekends I take time to find my creative self. Music also helps me. Inspiration from others is what can spark that path, so don’t give up and take it project by project ❤️

[@MrsCaroline88]

Dear Christine you know I Love your Work and your videos. They are like the piece of chocolate I hide in the cupboard, to eat it with pleasure in a silent minute.

[@christinemylinh]

Aw, your comment is just as sweet, thank you so much for all of this love!! 💕💕💕💕

[@incentivizedlife]

Wow just wow! I love this video the best journaling video I saw soo far! Yesh my dear u stand exactly corrected our journals should be different from one other because we are uniques!

[@Geelavann]

Your artwork is so cute ❤️

[@vilvin2893]

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! I always thought that all you did with your journal is so easy, that you just start and draw everything with a pencil straight away. I didn’t know you're planning it so carefully. And watching your videos I always felt so damn because I can't do it so easily. Now I can see the effort you put into it, and it reassures me :)

[@christinemylinh]

Haha I feel the same when I see other artists struggle over the same things I do!! 💕💕💕

[@lonearcher1422]

thank you for sharing your process ♥

[@ruthcolclough756]

If my final drawings were HALF as good as your preliminary sketches I would be elated
