Very helpful to see journaling isnot all writing and “pretty art”.

[@lewasil]

Is it writing really at all?

[@sarahmccarty2035]

lewislisa lewislisa Well she didn’t show all of her pages, so I’m assuming she writes more on pages she didn’t show in the video. Probably because she wants to keep the pages with a lot of writing mostly private. That’s my guess anyway.

[@user-xk4rl8bj2n]

I personally like a very neat journal full of cute cartoons and hardly any writing

[@sydney8897]

honestly I hate the videos that make it seem that way😂

[@robyndismon394]

@@sydney8897 Why do you hate them? Every journal is deeply personal.

[@savanahlee3743]

When I was younger, I’d buy blank notebooks (blank as in no lines or grid) and I would fill them so easily. Then grid/dot notebooks became popular and I’d only buy them - but my creativity struggles with those. Something about the lines feels confining. Your video inspired me to pick up another blank notebook and see what happens :) thank you!

[@leo-rs3cj]

How did it go?

[@imaginebeinglazyaboutyourn4964]

Hey how'd it go?

[@lc5464]

You are so right. Make your journal your own. I like how you described “imposter syndrome.” I do get overwhelmed seeing all the perfect spreads, but I look to them for inspiration. But some days, I have no words....just paint, collage, and scribbles. I connected to a lot of what you said. THANK YOU 😊 P.S. I’m in the Bay Area too! Hoping to go to PlannerCon next year!

[@SeaweedKisses]

Oh, that's awesome! Hello my California neighbor!! 👋👋

[@DesertThunderDownUnder]

Thank you so much for the upload, I am a 50 year old lady from outback remote Australia; Alice Springs, watching this on a wintery desert night and I really appreciate your video I will staple all my favourite restaurant recipes and boarding passes to my moleskin journal. Loved it from start to finish. 👏🏼🎫✈️🫖🍽🥰👍🏼

[@Amber24426]

I love how unconstrained this is. A true expression of creative liberation.

[@delendnum9777]

People should watch videos like this before starting planners/journals. Honestly whenever i see someone who is saying “Journaling(including bullet journal) is difficult to start and maintain”, i wanted to shout out to the world that they want to make it pretty and thats why it’s impossible to keep doing it. Anyway happy new year everyone! I hope your journals are filled with nice memories this year.

[@robyndismon394]

Please explain 2 me how wanting a journal 2 pretty is wrong or something 2 be criticized 4.. Whatever ones approach is deeply personal. We all have different paths. That said this sounds like 'journal shaming' 2 me. Putting one down 4 the immense level of effort and time it takes 2 create a personalized journal. I've watched and learned from dozens of videos from boho berry and so many others. They didn't just make one journal with 2 months of entries only 2 give up on month three. They have been making and creating 4 years. They r transparent about mistakes AND pages not used. Collections that just didn't work out. Sharing what pens and markers did and didn't work on specific journals. Grids versus blank pages. The list of positives is endless. In closing I vehemently disagree with your assigning hardworking artisans in the bullet journal community as 'imposters'. Imposters HOW?

[@delendnum9777]

​@@robyndismon394 I agree with positive sides that you mentioned. It would be helpful to share thoughts about collections that didn't work out or which pen is better to use. thanks for remind me these. And I don't think bullet journal artisans are impostors. As you said, we have all different ways to express ourselves and daily life. I totally agree with that. Looking back the day I wrote the comment, I'd seen people who gave up or didn't even want to try bullet journal because of all the perfectly decorated journals on the internet. But decoration and design don't work out for everyone. I thought they might've been satisfied with bullet journal if they hadn't focused on decorations. Bullet journal and its community has helped me dealing with many problems. I think I wanted people to experience the same, not giving up. and then somehow I happened to write the comment in a kind of assertive way. I'm sorry.

[@mariatoftelundgjerde1397]

Great inspo ❤

[@sandrapitts5280]

Three years ago, I bought the Moleskine Expanded. Watching your videos today, I was finally inspired to take the plunge, and begin my own creative journal. Thank you for inspiring me to be OK with whatever I put on my pages, ephemera from my life, my thoughts… I dedicated this first creative journal to you. Thank you again for inspiring me to freedom. You showed me that the key to my creative journal has been inside me all along.

[@Miyahideko]

This is such an important message for the journal/planning community. Chill out and let it flow naturally. Even the way you move your hands conveys this idea too 🥰

[@lilyc9722]

Seeing your messier pages makes me feel better

[@starmothpress]

I love what you said about handwriting! I can definitely tell a difference of my emotions compared to how I am feeling a particular day! I also just ordered a moleskine expanded softcover - I have always loved the soft cover journals from them so much and excited to use mine in 2023!

[@breec3346]

I got my first lechturrum? Journal! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!! I added some wellness tools I came up with in the first two pages! Thanks for encouraging me to just go for it and have fun! I am so happy I purchased the L. I won’t ever be able to part with it! Hugs!

[@thechronicdiarist]

I love this approach to journaling and have been moving in a similar direction with my own notebooks - esp my travel journals! Trying to be more loose and organic with it so I don’t have to overthink things or be burdened by the process. Above all else I think I want my journals to be a catch-all reflection of my day-to-day life and not so compartmentalised. Sometimes life (and our thoughts) are just plain messy! Appreciated the insights into your thought process and journaling philosophy. Thanks as always for sharing, Michelle 💕

[@MikaelaDelainey]

This is the content I’ve been looking for. I want to start a daily journaling practice in 2020 and don’t want it to be a solid text book, but I also know I won’t always have the time or inspiration to create beautiful art so I love this free flowing approach to journaling Thanks for sharing!

[@catwoods5499]

I am A Journal collector for like 15 years now. I have recently enter into the planner world and I'm loving it too 👍😻💖📚

[@tootsfour956]

Michelle this is the most crative journal I've seen for a long time! It has the ability to create in us the many ways to journal I have not thought of. Thank you so much. BLESSINGS!

[@SeaweedKisses]

Aww, why thank you! So glad you enjoyed the journal flip-through! Yes, creativity comes in many ways and forms!

[@Paperlover123]

So true that whatever goes, goes. I have done all types of journals, but my fav is the one that incorporates everything. Love the freedom you have. Gorgeous journal!!!!!

[@betty.thepennysaver872]

Love the originality of your journaling. Like you said it's so easy to get into the imposter syndrome.

[@jillmswift]

Your videos inspire me to just do it. Don’t worry about it being perfect. There’s nothing more satisfying than a beat up, overflowing journal because it means you achieved something

[@MandaFandaa]

Haha I’m loving the caution before “this is my life” 😂 All my journals start with a pretty detailed disclaimer. I like to prepare whoever ends up reading it. It’s important to me that they know what they are getting themselves into. Lol.

[@SeaweedKisses]

Bwahaha!! Exactly- "Reader, beware!" ;)

[@peppersware269]

I appreciate this video soooo much! Anytime I feel like Peppers you are taking this wayyyyyy to serious I think about this video. Journaling is something to enjoy and not regret. Rules, perfection and pressure to look a particular way HAVE TO GO AND STAY GONE!!!! ❤️✅

[@raean5377]

Yo, this is exactly what I like to do. Whatever you like! No planning or rules.....just whatever. Love your ideas and book. Unique and awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[@user-ds8do9yn8d]

I love your diary and I am so glad when I saw Korea trip page. Welcome to Korea whenever you want.💕

[@SeaweedKisses]

Yes, I love visiting Korea! I try to go every year to see different parts of the country!

[@michellesunshinestar]

Thank you so much. I got into a rage one day and threw out all my childhood journals :( I regret it to this day. I'm starting over again (I'm almost 40). I got this journal that I love. My cousin, he gave me a gift card to Target, and I found this journal. I'm more of a diary person, I keep track of my day. I could be more creative though.

[@commonboi1]

the receipt from that chinese restaurant is a great idea. it gave me the idea of putting the business card i got from my job in my journal

[@sarahmccarty2035]

Your patreon and KZbin have helped me find the joy in creative journaling again 💜

[@SeaweedKisses]

Aww, omg! You are so kind, Sarah! Thank you so much for the encouraging words and for your wonderful support throughout these months. I really appreciate you!!

[@haydenmchugh]

This reminds me of "wreck this journal" in all the best ways - so cool

[@JerzSunflower]

I just found this video. Thank you so much for stressing to just be you. Don't try to follow what others do on social media. Just journal true to your own journaling style. Great video.

[@binarlestari2497]

Thanks for showing realness 🎉

[@SuperAbc2015]

Finally someone without overacting, someone figuring out what's more suitable for him /her , i just started recently mine is more similar to your old day , thank you for everything

[@AishaCreates]

I really enjoyed this flipthrough. I love how you also say that it doesn’t have to be perfect, and to just be yourself. Thanks!

[@gailsbookishthings5191]

I do have a moleskine expanded and it’s where I like to journal feelings and write poems or quotes or experiment with drawing things. I guess you could say it’s my creative journal. I do planners but not in great detail.,, embellish the pages just enough to keep it fun for me to look at and the creative touches make it seem like mine. I really enjoy your videos and ideas and how you encourage individuality. 😀

[@neldaflores8778]

Watching your video was liberating!!! I just started a pocket Exceed notebook and I've never this inspired EVER. I keep a planner of sorts plus journal plus commonplace book. Hearing how you talked about the spreads just really resonated with me. Thank you for sharing!

[@SeaweedKisses]

Oh. That's awesome!! I hope you enjoy the journaling process and continue to stay inspired to create! Thank you so much for watching!💕🙏😀

[@s.r.6387]

I found this video (May, 2021) when I was starting to get into (junk) journaling. I'm so thankful that I did because your take on journalling includes some things I'm really into (like stationary items) and I had yet realized how many items I already owned that would be so representative of me. Thank you so much for the encouragement to be ourselves and for the suggestions on different types of pages. (I also appreciate the reminder that not every page needs to be "full".) 😊

[@canelajoon]

This is the best, most motivating vid to start journaling with. So kind and calm. No pressure to be fancy or have a ton of stationary lying around. Thank you 😊

[@randomhodgepodge8902]

Eclectic as you go. Love it! I'm a planner but if I did step into journaling, this is the way I'd go.

[@gorejessmua2361]

I love this is make me seem so much less intimidated by junk journaling

[@ofthedawn3407]

I love your journal and I find so many similarities to the one I own. I always felt kind of bad about not doing the whole bullet journal thing and having everything all over the place, but seeing your journal- with both beautiful and messy spreads makes me feel a lot better.

[@subscribee9792]

I have a travel journal, and a daily diary/journal where I answer prompts/questions and I write about my day and how I feel... And just other random things like ideas and goals. It helps decrease my stress, realese negative energy and thoughts, and motivate myself. It's totally awesome!

[@apolarbeartookmysweater.8472]

Wow! I love how real and raw this video is. It's inspired me to started journaling. I just purchased the journal you recommended and I'm really excited for it to get here!

[@ErZi-uo7fm]

I have something similar. I call it "dumpsterbook". I use it to jot down thoughts at work, to take notes on new random information I found interesting and wanted to remember and study later, to draw, to journal and to make lists and organize. The only rule I have for this notebook is that you should never structure it in any kind! Cause that's when it usually goes downhill and stops being a useful thing, becoming a stress-inducer instead.

[@robyndismon394]

As a Parsons School of Design alumni I do have 2 say that 4 me aesthetics is everything and my journal reflects that. But I respect your journey our paths r markedly different.

[@kaymcleod3629]

Really inspiring video talking a lot of good sense - it's so clear how important this process is and it reminds me what the whole point of journalling is for me too. Thanks!

[@MicheleBartonThomas]

Wow, you have really set me free from the paralysis I have in starting a journal! For years I have wanted to do this but I don't draw or paint and and I just never knew what to do in a journal! I don't really want to write my thoughts and feelings in the journal either. I write songs for that and that is very satisfying. But I love the idea of doing something in a book that I can hold in my hand. I just bought a moleskine expanded dotted and I was going to use it as a planner/bullet journal but in the past when I tried this I had a hard time with it and I realized that for me making planner layouts week after week would grow tiresome and feel like a chore. I prefer planners that are already dated and so I ended up buying a dated planner for 2021. But now I have this beautiful expanded Moleskine and I have no idea what to do with it. Your video helped so much!! Thank you for sharing your journal with us!

[@paulinarupinska8283]

I just bought my first ever moleskine! I am so excited to start journaling. You are such a big inspiration for me to start.

[@SeaweedKisses]

Yay! I'm excited for you!!

[@val-jy6el]

this has encouraged me to finally start journaling !! ughh thank youuu

[@fashionbemeUK]

Hi thank you for sharing, and giving us no rules it's so good to do what you want on paper, I've just started I never thought there was anything like this around as I've been to busy with bringing up a family but now have time for myself 😝

[@AshleyMurphyArt]

Enjoyed your flip through. Really loved the marking of incomplete pages.

[@annmarieplays2268]

I just got a new journal and it's so intimidating just starting a new one. I have no idea where to start so this video helped me a lot thank you

[@ericaapriliani8519]

I’m both a planner and a journaler. Like you, I don’t use any fancy stuffs for planning (except for some post it notes and highlighters) because they distract me. I like my planner to be functional :D

[@SeaweedKisses]

Ditto! Love a functional planner and seeing how others "function" in it vs. "playing" in it. ;)

[@danielkim230]

Thank you show us your journal. That's so inspirational and I jealous of them.

[@GreySkySaturday]

Loved this video! Definitely agree with you about the changes in handwriting. May need to try the moleskin journal next!

[@cheryls_creative7048]

This is fabulous and has given me some great ideas as I appear to have a block on journaling at present! Thanks so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@smurph9475]

Lovely video, your journal is beautiful and your commentary is so calming and peaceful. Thanks for putting out such good vibes!

[@theabbynica]

This is exactly how I think about my bullet journal. I always felt like most bujo vids were so beautiful and I couldn't do it but this video feels different.

[@silvermoonwaters6231]

so happy and grateful to find you here... I was wondering your feeling about this type of paper becasue I use watercolor . Thank you for your answer or anyone else who has tried it !

[@TheCelestialhealer]

I pressed like the moment I saw how used it looked...🙏🏼The cofee stain❤️❤️❤️

[@elizabethkjewelryandart]

Thanks for sharing! I really like your approach. I feel the need to have topics sectioned off a bit, but I love the idea. I tried keeping all my subjects in inserts a traveller's notebook, but that didn't work for me. I'm in a number of A5 notebooks: 1) A business journal/planner 2) Main journal that I write in when something comes up that I want to write about. I don't write in it too often. I'm learning to be okay with that. 3) ! "write it out" journal for when I get stuck and I just need to work through something. I keep this journal separate from my main journal because it has things that I don't need to reflect back on, and don't want to save for the long term. 4) I've also got a gratitude journal, and I'd like to start using that daily again. 5) I do art or art related activities everyday. Sometimes that takes the form of planning, or 6) working in a larger art journal.

[@dimetrodonz]

yes, the handwriting thin is so true! my handwriting is much smaller when I'm calm and collected, and my handwriting is very loose and messy if I have a lot on my mind or I'm excited, and it gets really big and spaced out when I'm angry or upset!

[@dannytetreault]

Journaling? Scrapbooking …. Not for me as a man, but I’m open and interested in how others journal! All the best!

[@sagamuhammed6338]

That's my first time to watch your videos and i really love you and i feel like you really good person and so kind ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ashleyamari]

1:10 on 🙌🏽 i know i’m late but i’m currently looking for inspiration so i can truly start to take my journaling seriously this year. i always found myself putting off journaling because of it feeling like a task and more, but what you’ve said truly reminded me that your journal is your book. and how you write or draw out the chapters of your life in YOUR book should be however you choose. i had to stop already and subscribe because that right there hit deep for me. thank you for making this video and your journal is absolutely beautiful

[@SeaweedKisses]

Aww! Wow, thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words! I'm so happy to hear that this video resonates with you. Yes, it's your journal so feel free to create your way! When you let go of outside pressure, your natural creative flow will flourish! Thanks so much for watching!

[@nayanaleal3733]

So authentic and inspirational video 😍

[@jessicajovel8194]

11:38 wow... thanks, thank you I hadn't thought of expressing something with a sketch, but it's helpful because I started a journal a month ago but I just used it two days, because there really are days I don't want to write down how I feel, but to sketch it feels gentler somehow, it won't be so hard to look at later.

[@CodyDoll]

So exciting. I love your journal

[@TerenceMerkelbach]

I really like the red sticker on the front.

[@donnapanzardo3058]

enjoyable video thanks for sharing. It's always great to see other ideas for people what they put in their journals. I'm just doing a guided journal because if I do more than one I know I won't continue because I don't have enough to say. I figured I would give myself to end of the year and next year even if I continue with the Studio seasonal yearbook from Jamie ridler I would like to start another journal. Just add other stuff where I mind not have enough room to put on a day in the yearbook. I bought the same journal as you so not sure if I'll start with the tone or another. I also bought smaller ones at the time. I might start with something smaller or thinner.

[@munchiemunchie2010]

Thank you so much for this, I really needed to see and hear this.

[@nemofish3504]

I was thinking of just making a journal of collagas of all the shows and games I like, with quotes that really mean a lot to me

I love this so much. Thank you so much. I do the same thing and love it. Never used a moleskin. I am a planner and journal kind of girl. I scripture write as well.

I;ve been trying to expnand my creativity in my Happy Planner. I have been drawing by looking up stick figures of whatever i'm doing that day. It's SO much more than I used to do! I also finally figured out how to save all the ticket stubs & beach parking passes I had been collecting for years :) This was such a good video, thank you!!!

[@evaschollafitness]

LOVE and I'm OBSESSED with my Moleskines! I have the XL planner, Daily dairy 19-20, and the expanded lined journal! I was wondering if you like putting tabs on your journals? Pros and cons? Sometimes I want to go back and see quotes etc. that I have written down and don't have a page marker. So I find myself searching through my journal. Would love your thoughts!

[@Alesanascreamokid]
