Daily Journaling for your Mental Health *Beginner Friendly Ideas*

[@rekacolour]

I was intimidated from journaling because my life is so uneventful. I was comparing myself to some bujo creators who seemed to have busy schedules, work meetings, an active social life... I felt like I would have nothing to write in my journal. Videos like these are such important reminders that mindfulness also matters. I started my November cover page while watching this so thank you for your encouraging words. You make a difference.

I struggled with those thoughts too, right now I'm picking and choosing everything I like and my only goal is to have fun and be creative

In thousands of years when life has changed so much, your “normal” life will seem incredibly interesting to anthropologists. The mundane doesn’t get recorded as much as the exceptional but it often gets lost to history because of it! That’s what I try to think of at least

[@DesiraeDeAndrea]

I have just got into journaling. I am so happy I came across your channel! This has gave me some ideas and such an amazing inspiration. Journaling is a way for me to release all the stress. I suffer from Anxiety & Depression and this helps me so much! Thank you so much for sharing!!

[@teachloveinspire561]

Your journals and explanations are gorgeous and easy to follow! You have a beautiful voice, too! Thank you for singing as it shows your creative personality!

[@planningwithkay]

Aww thank you so much for the kind words!! I’m so happy knowing you enjoyed the video. And I’m constantly singing throughout the day, whether it’s my favorite classics or little songs I make up, so it only felt right to bust out in song for a moment 😂

[@AubreeMcKin]

This video is just perfection. It seems we all have so much going in our daily lives that keeps us stressed and anxious. Journaling is the perfect way to express some emotions to let them out of our bodies and onto the page. While you watching, I pulled my bujo out to add a spread to next week. I made a place to purposefully express some gratitude ro help shift my focus from all my daily stressors. ❤❤

[@planningwithkay]

This comments made my day aubree… I’m so grateful that my message is coming across so clearly, and it warms my heart knowing you were journaling along with me, expressing some gratitude. We can’t always make the stressful things go away, but we can shift our focus to give ourselves some relief, and I’m happy we have our journals to help us out 💗

[@melanieswritingplans]

I haven’t been journaling much lately and this spread inspired me to get started again with a simple yet colorful layout. Thank you so much! I guessed “The Middle” before you finished the second part of the lyric. That song will ALWAYS be a dopamine boost for me, no matter what kind of mood I may be in. Thank you for an awesome video Kay!

[@KoiandlilyStudio]

😊

[@melissalam2879]

Your spreads are absolutely beautiful, your voiceovers are inspirational and your happiness comes through on each and every one of your videos. Thank you!!! I’m new to bullet journaling and I am so glad I found your channel.

[@planningwithkay]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so happy my content is helping you on your bullet journaling journey

[@KoiandlilyStudio]

😊😊

[@ShaunaStory]

A lot of great advice in this video, and I really appreciate the relaxed calm pacing. ALSO, that song was such a trip...my first bassoon teacher's son was friends with the band members, and the band used to practice in my teacher's garage. Probably the coolest thing to come out of Mesa, Arizona lol.

[@ThePracticalIntuitive]

This was so therapeutic. Thanks for filming this video. 🙂 Can you show more daily spread ideas?

[@planningwithkay]

It makes me SO happy knowing this was relaxing and therapeutic for you. And Absolutely!! I’ll definitely do more daily journaling videos in the future 💗

[@ThePracticalIntuitive]

@planningwithkay thanks. You're so awesome. 💜

[@amandafoxton6463]

I LOVE your videos. I am so sorry you are stressed. Feeling overwhelmed and stressed is a horrible thing. Journalling is an excellent way to destress. Deep breathing or any somatic exercise is also extremely helpful. I have struggled with journaling and you make it look so simple. I am gearing up for 2025. Will definitely be ordering stickers at the end of November. Hope you are feeling better. 😊

[@planningwithkay]

Thank you so much Amanda! Waves of stress and overwhelm are sometimes inevitable, but there are so many ways we can take care of ourselves through those waves. Journaling about it, and talking about it in this voiceover definitely gave me relief, and I’m so grateful to have such a beautiful community of people here to relate with 💗 i can’t wait for you to place a sticker order and try journaling more next year. I hope you have an amazing day, thank you for your kind words.

[@kate_bujo_journy2700]

I started journaling to help with the fog and kayos I have going on in my head to get it down on paper and it helps me so so much to get it out of there and feel less overwhelmed ❤

[@mopete9830]

Your Friday spread gives me 90s taco bell vibes. I dig it. Journaling has helped me as well. I updated my journal throughout the day for checking in on how I spend my time, this helps with my time blindness as someone who works remotely. But I also have a long form journal and I just started a commonplace journal which I enjoy rereading. I'm enjoying the reflection and rereading.

[@jocelyndonielle]

I loved this video! I plan on starting a journal for my mental health and I’ve been so intimidated by what I’ve seen. Your video was truly therapeutic and something I can totally do. Great perspective. Thank you ❤

[@gudrunmason1675]

Love this video ❤ From memory keeping to to do list, and from stress relief to creative outlet, one spread did it all 👏👏👏👏 and my personal favorite moment on it…. Your special performance 😁🎤 🎶 🎶‼️

[@planningwithkay]

You're the best mama! I love that you liked the musical interlude! 😂

[@julierocketqueen6257]

This was so relaxing, I almost fell asleep. Thank you for the inspiration. Your journal is soooo aesthetically pleasing 💜🩵

[@beccascraps8141]

Your voice is lovely. It’s SO FUNNY that you posted the song because I was obsessing over it yesterday. I found a version on Instagram that’s slowed down with two voices and it sooooo beautiful. I love practicing harmony

[@planningwithkay]

Perfect timing for this song to come up!! I also love practicing harmony whenever I’m signing along to songs I love 🥰

[@maryhoyt2609]

Absolutely beautiful! I love your stickers, so pretty! You are very talented! I'm now a new subscriber!

[@MollyFreibott]

Love this- journaling is helping me heal and move forward

[@KoiandlilyStudio]

[@ElizabethRBain]

Totally singing along!! everything EVERYTHING will be all right all right!

[@lisagratefulme]

New subbie from the budgeting community. I love to journal and I am so glad that I found your channel!

[@susyjcobwebs]

I have journal writing videos once a month ( last Wednesday of the month) that we sit and write together about the positive things in your life. I have also journal writing prompts that will tickle your creative taste buds also (2nd Wednesday) These are different creative outlets that we all enjoy with the rest of the world.

[@MichelleJones-p4e]

Beautiful, calming video, as always. Thanks so much. ❤️🌹

[@Mellylein]

Liebe Kayla, diese Farben passen so gut zu dir. Sie erinnern mich an deine Haarfarben, die du schon einmal hattest. Herzlichen Dank für deine Kunst und deine Arbeit. Über die Printables habe ich mich sehr gefreut. Und ich bin schon sehr gespannt auf deine neuen Sticker, die du zur Zeit (mit uns Patrons) gestaltest. Außerdem freue ich mich auf den morgigen Livestream, hier auf KZbin. Liebe Grüße Melly ✨

[@planningwithkay]

I always love reading your comments Melly… I can’t wait to see you in tomorrow’s livestream!💗

[@karamichelle6919]

Thank you for sharing this video! I have been keeping my journal and bullet journal separate...and have been thinking about combining them 😊 Is that what you do? (It seems that way, but I have only seen a couple of your videos) if so - do you put an entry for the days you journal into your index? (I try to journal everyday but it doesnt always happen, lol) Have a great day!

[@MiteredCorners]

This is great. Needed it today AND i got a great song reminder!

[@caingaru]

I love that song!!!

[@My_dreamy_world_2024]

I love your vibe 🤍🤍

[@The3GMom]

This was very soothing

[@Runsonespresso]

I got the lyrics right away! Love Jimmy Eat World. We actually saw them in October when they performed Futures in Phoenix. It was amazing.

[@DesignerChameleon]

Beautifully done, Kay! And great Karaoke 😘

[@lefty.-.journals]

yassssss i guessed jimmy eats world lol rockband!! and its on the middle the tv show :D i loved this video the spread turned out beautiful, and trust me girl i was singing with you

[@planningwithkay]

Yessss I love knowing you were singing along with me 🥰

[@mrsfrench847]

Lovely Video Kay!!

[@susanmcquaig2927]

Love this video!

[@meghamilton6663]

It just takes some time Little girl, you’re in the middle of the ride Everything, everything’ll be just fine Everything, everything’ll be alright, alright Sitting here yell-singing this in my head on repeat now. Lol

[@anuviitala3463]

Wish I was artistic like that. Unfortunately my journals are pretty much just a date on the corner, and then a written story of the day or happenings, and very often it turns into complaining about something. I have tried to add some random stickers here and there, but im totally not able to create a themed page like that.

[@steffymuze]

I don't see that as unfortunate. It's your style and nothing wrong with that 😊 Minimalism is a thing too!

[@azulolympia]

i love this big spread! i’ve noticed your voiceovers have been quite slow recently, i know you try to create a relaxing atmosphere so it could just be that. maybe putting music behind the voiceover would help too? i like the music at the start but then it stops partway through. otherwise i like these interesting ideas you’ve had for journalling ☺️

[@planningwithkay]

I appreciate your feedback Olympia! We have have been deliberately making the editing / voiceovers a little slower paced and less rushed/sped up, but didn't mean for the music to be that quiet! I think it just sounded louder in our headphones - will definitely have the background music a bit louder in the next one so it fills some of the empty space a little more

[@plancreatecope]

Me now; everything, everything, will be alright,alright. Lol. Hope Sarasota is bouncing back.

[@planningwithkay]

IT JUST TAKES SOME TIME! 🎶 that song will be stuck in my head for a while now 😂 and things are slowing but surely getting cleaned up here!

[@CynDtwn214]

🙏🏻💙💪🏻

[@cheekiemunkie1]

Thanks was having a really crappy day and this definitely made it a whole lot better. And for the inspiration. I haven’t journaled in years. Making it simple and manageable on a daily basis ✨🩷✨
