FINALLY a journaling video that’s actually helpful and not just “put cute stickers on the page and use gel pens!”

[@NaesLaugh]

Hahah omgness Molly yesss those videos would get to me so bad lol... especially because it causes so many people to feel intimidated and stay away from a practice that can actually be really helpful! So glad I could help though girl!!! ♥️🤩🤩 Let me know if there’s any other way I can help you get started! 😄♥️🤩

“What is journaling?” The ultimate excuse to buy ALL THE PRETTY STATIONERY!

[@NaesLaugh]

Hahahah I hear you Gaby!!! 😆 My sister literally has to guard my eyes whenever we pass the journaling aisle in Target lolll. 😂 But now it's just time to put that stationary to good use! 😄😄❤️

[@Saiki_Jelly]

*I've started two journals, one that I fill with random thoughts that I get when my depression and anxiety take over. The second I started for my little brother who's 10. I've raised him since the day he was born when my mom was diagnosed with cancer. He's my world and I don't want kids because to me he's my one and only baby, so I've been filling that book with fun moments with him, how I felt when he was born, ect. I plan on giving it to him when he's 18 or 21. That way I have more moments to put in♥️*

[@doc-jim]

I know it has been 2 years since you left this comment but I was touched by it: I have diagnosed moderate depression episode and ADHD, I also deal with anxiety often and to hear how you still manage to keep your little brother in a life surrounded by love despite it all it really hit home, my big sister has been a second mother ever since I got diagnosed, closer than ever to my needs and I am so grateful, I am sure that your brother is grateful as well. Thank you for sharing!

The biggest mistake I made in my spiritual journey was NOT taking journaling seriously. Keeping a journal is essential to our personal and spiritual growth. Thanks for the reminder.

[@She_has_got_it]

I agree completely

[@angelasakeria8108]

My reason why to journal 1) want to be organised 2) want to have a pretty notebook to carry around 3) heard somewhere genuise + successful people carry it around with them 😚 4) But most importantly so that I can store my memories and look at them fondly when I am older.

[@amberm5544]

I've been journaling since I was 13 (I'm 23) but recently I've developed such an anxiety about it. I think I've lost the 'why' beyond having a negative vent - it worked so much better when I was focused on my own growth. Thank you for these tips!

[@NaesLaugh]

Aahhh Amber! I can completely relate… I started getting anxiety later on in my journaling experience as well. I think it was for a few reasons - one of them, oddly enough was because I would often go back and reread my journal entries, when I wrote them I would overthink and wouldn’t let it just come out freely. What helped was me stopping that for a while to bring back my love for just WRITING and being open with my thoughts. So maybe something you can try is to not only journal when you need to vent about something but also journal when something really good happens as well, OR even when it’s just a “regular” day. All of that - the good, bad and simply okay days are key to your personal growth and life journey so they are all worth documenting. And my thoughts are that once you get more familiar with journaling other than venting you’ll know how to get out of it quicker and discover the “why” you speak of when you do have something to vent about. 🥰♥️♥️♥️ I hope that helps Amber!!! But know I’m so rooting for you! Keep journaling friend!!! 😍😍😍🥰♥️

[@justanobody722]

So one thing that discourages me from journaling is the fear that some will find it and they will judge me and I'll feel awkward and foolish. I want to start but that's what scares me

[@jessicahanselman7968]

Maybe I would do well to vent more onto paper and less out of my mouth hahahaha!! Might reduce some of my own self-caused drama that way. Good suggestion.

I soo agree with the growth thing. I have filled up 3 journals and this is the first whole year if my journalling. I love having relics of the past, for which a journal is perhaps the best thing ever ! Also, I feel that I have become more connected with the feelings I have harbored for so long, and perhaps even lost some of the negative ones.Journalling has made me calmer, taking it all one day at a time and knowing myself much deeper. Love your style tho!

Thanksss Lola!! And yess!! Journaling absolutely does help with that! ♥️♥️♥️ just writing your thoughts out. And aside from that, something else I would recommend for you friend is gratitude journaling. It may seem counterintuitive when you are dealing with anxiety and loneliness but I can say from personal experience that when you find / grasp things you are grateful for and make you smile... even if it’s seemingly small ... and you meditate on it a little bit by writing it out, your mentality starts to change little by little ♥️♥️♥️ Maybe you can give that a try too ♥️ Praying for you friend!!

I've started journaling regularly this week and I'm completely loving it. I just write down things I need (or want) to remember, or just notable events or things I'm looking forward to doing. It's amazing the effect it has, like once it's down on the page, it frees my mind and I don't have to remember or worry about it anymore. I've even looked at videos on how to doodle, something I've never been able to do very well but I just think it might help add some character to my entries.

Ahhh yesss Jackie!! Those journals in the beginning kind of intimidate me but maybe I'll get there one day. 😄 Journaling by candle light sounds amazinggggg though! Sounds like my perfect kind of night! 😄😍

[@imethan-youtubetips1770]

Being journaling for years. Simple but powerful concept. Thumbs up from a small creator 😅

Yay, thanks Ethan!!! Thumbs up right back to you friend! :D Appreciate the support!!

[@betteryoubysabrina]

um wow I'm so glad I found you! love your personality & energy! & these tips are awesome, journaling is my favorite. handwriting in physical journals is definitely more preferred/beneficial to me than putting my thoughts into my notes in my phone

[@NaesLaugh]

Awww my girl, this comment made me smile so much!! Thank you girlie!!! 😄💕🤗 And yessss, handwritten/physical journals is my favorite option as well. I definitely feel the most release with it! So glad to have you here girlie!! 😄🤗

[@justrandomtrolls3194]

this is the most effective of journaling guides ive ever watched. ive always wanted to start journaling since i was a teen but till this day i don't know where to start. today might be the day of me doing what i was so sacred to do. anyways, you dropped this ✨👑✨, queen. thank you.

[@jaimetan]

Love your energy! And thanks for breaking down journaling so it's EASY! Journaling's been such a great way for me to set intentions, vent, reflect and make sense of the thought-soup in my head. Thanks for sharing your tips. :)

[@NaesLaugh]

Girllll just YESS!!! I can't express how intimidated I used to be but at the core of it, it really isn't hard a all! And it's helped me in those exact same areas as well! (Also, I so love your "thought-soup" analogy) lolll. So glad you enjoyed it girl! 😃🤗❤️️

[@CelinaBelizan345]

[@Sarah.g.carter]

Your energy is so contagious right for the start. I love it!! I love journaling and I try to do it daily, but never skipping more than three days in a row. I currently have my standard journal for day to day things, my scripting journal for writing out what I want as if it’s already come to me, and then I use the artist of life workbook from lavendaire as sort of a brain - dump journal/ ideas etc. I’ll never stop :p

[@NaesLaugh]

Awwww thank you Sarah!! 😄😄😍🤗OOooo though girl, you sound like me with all the journals! hahah. You have the artist of life one though? I was actually thinking about getting it. How do you like it?!?

[@Sarah.g.carter]

@@NaesLaugh I LOVE it. I just ordered this years and its my third year using it. I'm excited because it sounds like its been changed a bit from the past two years, and I know Aileen only changes things to improve them. Based on some of the things in her recent videos, I have a feeling its going to be even more in depth of finding ourselves and creating joy.

[@phoebewhitaker4036]

[@NaesLaugh]

Aww thankssss Phoebe!! You're the best! I'm so glad I could help! 😄💕😍

[@chatainedeline5324]

I often start journaling with a quote. I always find these fantastic quotes that I loved so much, but I didn’t know what to do with them. Before I started journalling I had no where to put these quotes. Now I go through my quote list and use the one (or ones) I find speak to me that day.

[@NaesLaugh]

Chataine, I love that!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍 so much!!! That’s such an encouraging way to journal and such a great idea!! You’re doing it right friend!!

[@gigiwwdreamer]

Love this! I used to journal every day and write my thoughts and experiences down and then I stopped and I’m getting back into it because when I used to journal I would be able to think clearly, I’d have so much more perspective and gratitude and I had a great outlet for my emotions and thoughts. I just went to Barnes and nobles and bought a beautiful journal and have started so this was a great video to get my headspace back on track for journaling

[@SixFigureBusinessCoaching]

been journaling for years, and I must say, I could still use some of these tips up to now! Loved these new learnings

[@NaesLaugh]

I definitely hear you Kristen & Jeanne!!! I can never have enough journaling tips either! Thanks so much for watching friends!

[@chunpoon3398]

Hello! I came upon your video and have to say thank you! I checked out other YT videos and most of those how-to journal tips that came up on my search and watching them were way to complicated. I then did another search on how to write a simple journals and your video came up. I gave it a watch and from your video the tips were very helpful! Again thank you!

[@carmentsoi]

WOW!! I LOVE YOUR ENERGY!! May God bless you always!!! Xoxo from Panama! ❤️

[@ascia158]

Well you seem very excited about journaling and I like that. I watched tons of vids about journaling but yours is the best. I have been journaling for two years every day usually 1-2 hours but this year I want to reduce the hours. Journaling is interesting and useful.

[@NaesLaugh]

Awwww Asia!!! That is so sweet, and means a lot coming from a journaling pro!!! 😄😄😄 I’m someone that can also journal for long periods of time but I would say something that helps is to set a timer! And if your willpower isn’t all there then maybe do it before you have to do something else that is scheduled... that you can’t be late for lol. I hope this helps you as you continue your practice this year friend!! 🤩🤩😍😄😁😁

[@DrLaraZib]

Ah I love this! Your laugh is infectious :-). I love journalling, but watching this was super useful as well!

[@NaesLaugh]

Awww thank you sooo much Dr. Lara!! I'm soooo glad this could be helpful for you, even as an experienced journaler!!! Sending so much love! 😃❤️️

[@camilla8129]

I'm loving the energy in this video! I cannot even begin to tell how much journaling has changed my life :) I don't know if anyone else does this, but my method is that some years ago I gave it a name. It's like telling everything to another person, which not only makes me want to never stop, but it also makes the actual writing more organic and sincere. After so many years things to say come to mind naturally, and I'm able to see patterns, it's truly the practice I recommend the most^^

[@YesToTech]

Wow! I've been wanting to journal more so this is perfect! Exactly what I needed! :)

[@NaesLaugh]

Whohooo! Yessss my girl!!! It's sooo much easier than you would think! Let me know if there's any way that I can help!! 😁🤗❤️️

[@ladydeesetyourselffree1013]

Looovveee your energy & great tips Nae! 😍 You make a good point about that feeling you get when looking back at how far you've come. I get that feeling when I do a mental reflection, but I imagine I can remember so much more if it was written in a journal.

[@NaesLaugh]

Awwww thank you girl!!!! 😄😄💕🤗 Yesss, mental reflection absolutely helps too but you're so right there's something crazy that happens when you take time to write it down!! You're forcing yourself to go slower and actually think about your thoughts lol. I love that you've been able to see your growth too though girl!!! Love having you here! 😄💕🤗

Ooooo Ashlyn!!! I love Goodnotes too! 😄💕🫶🏾 your method is a GREAT balance for those that want to go digital and save their entries but also want the benefits of writing them out! Great job! 👏🏾😄💕

[@Hexelixe]

I've been journaling since I was 10 years old, and it's such a fantastic habit. I don't have my oldest journals, but the ones I still have, I like to check and read on. I tend to have very bad memory, so I often try not journal also to remember important things. Bits of gossip, experiences with people, and my thoughts about this and that. I even used to paste in magazine or news clips and then write what I thought about it. I like to re-read those old stories and what my opinion was and see how much I've changed about things.

[@SashaLipskaia]

Great video, I love the clear prompts and the fact that you understand and empathize with your audience! Journaling is my #1 tool with my clients and myself - and it is truly a powerful self-inquiry and life transformation practice. Thank yous much for putting this together! It is so nice to see you share how important our environment is, and how to set ourselves up for JUST DOING IT:) to build the habit and self-reflection and imagination muscles most of us are not taught to develop and apply.

[@NaesLaugh]

Thank you so much Sasha! I could not agree more with you!! So many of us are not taught how to use our creative muscles but they can ABSOLUTELY be trained and developed and used for our benefit. Appreciate you Sasha! 😄💕

[@alisoncauser2955]

Loved your ideas, I'm brand new to journaling but crafts is my way to relax, I already know that scrapbooking will be an intrinsic art of my journaling. I get lost in planning out the page, decorating it and setting out the content. Bullet journalling and habit tracking will be a part of it too. It will also be my reading journal. Being creative is my meditating.
