"Dump it on the page before you dump it on the people you love"-- Love this :)

[@kailamichelle6126]

I've made this mistake and I hate myself for it💔

[@narutorandomness457]

This made me want to go to the woods and get out of the city for a while, the sounds are so relaxing and you seem pretty worry free.

[@gloriaobetti2247]

I usually just do collage with old pictures from magazine, I write every day what I felt good and bad, I keep tracking how the people treat me every day, I always practice morning and evening routine, just writing letters, to let it go and feel released, thanks for sharing your message. We also believe so similar, you are great and keep making this videos

[@OliveraK]

Haha, I used to write entire journal entries in my sleep. It was weird. First I thought someone's messing with me. Great to know I am not alone.

[@toluca8371]

Goodness gracious, I am just IN LOVE with your channel. I'm not a spiritual person, I'm not a very "nature-oriented" person (so to speak) and I don't normally take interest in content like this, but the way you talk about things is so interesting. I think it's because you're humble with your beliefs and morals. You're not over-the-top or "preachy," but you still make yourself known in a fascinating way. You are such a lovely, creative, intelligent, yet humble person and your personality is so beautiful.

Memory keeper Word vomit (complaint dump/ negativity dump) Letters (to family/ friends) Write down your dreams (night time dreams) Planning Prayer Manifest mantras Take notes Journalling prompts Pep talk Lists (bucket list/ things to do/ movies etc) Gratitude

[@jaydcruzdof6573]

I've been journaling for a year now and it's been really helping me. Thank you for this video and I'd also like to say that I fucking love your personality. 😭

[@OverallAdventures]

I'm so glad to hear that journaling has helped you!! Thanks for all of the loooooove

[@maleeahgeyer2650]

In my journal I'm kinda a memory keeper I am one of those people that have a whole notebook of gratitude

[@ShainaLeis]

YESSSS! Love your version 🙌 so glad we did this : )

[@OverallAdventures]

SAME. I could not agree more

[@claudia_chang]

Omg, I journal to write to my “beloved” too haha, you’re not alone, I totally relate.

[@ok-car]

I don't usually write letters in my journal (although I want to start). But I did write a letter to my future husband. I get excited imagining reading it to whoever I get married to. :,)

[@ShainaLeis]

I love this idea!!I'm totally doing this : ) thank you

[@rbond708]

I've written one too! I've also written one for my future children, my parents in 20 years and, of course, my future self. They're great fun to write!

[@OverallAdventures]

Ooohh I've never written one to my future children, LOVE that idea :) Thanks for commenting

[@dayahsamad]

omg this is brilliant. i'm gonna start writing these letters very soon

[@hafsakrasniqi0]

me too

[@anagarcia.5834]

I rlly love your "why not?" idk, i need to hear that from someone so nice like you.

[@OverallAdventures]

I'm so glad that it found you at the right time :) Thanks for the comment!

[@Izuru15]

I used to keep journals when I was little and after I filled them up I'd throw them away cause I thought they were weird and embarrassing 😂 But I love your idea of writing dreams down. That's a great idea!

[@annietheskittle6885]

How can I prevent hand cramping lol I write so much

[@pizzagirl2646]

Try adjusting the way you hold you pen, loosen up frequently and stretch your hand sometimes.

[@quadreye]

annietheskittle Try a fountain pen! No pressing down needed, really forgiving for the hand. Or if you're not into that use gel pens like Pilot Hi-Tec or stuff like that. Just not a ballpoint pen...

[@roxannemcv4259]

I hold the pen too tight when im tired. And it makes my hand more tired . And it makes me whole life tired.

[@quadreye]

Roxanne MCV That sounds rough... Meanwhile, if I try to get my writing to look good, I unconciously grip the pen really hard so I'm cursed with a bad handwriting :')

[@fairoadiary]

annietheskittle Write loosely.

[@KennyKatify]

I've always loved the idea of journaling but never was able to keep up with it. I recently started a journal inspired by you and Shaina, and used a lot of your ideas. I'm finding its really helpful in dealing with my depression and keeping track of things I want to remember. Ive watched this video and several of your other journaling videos over and over and over again, you are just so genuine and amazing! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us(:

[@gloria0704]

Ur voice is so calm and relaxing to hear! Love u

[@vanessaestrada2025]

My goodness you're so wise and have the sweetest character!

[@patiencerose6978]

Your so talented 🙏 wish I had an ounce of your talent for words

[@whatlauralikes.]

I've been journaling every single day for two months and it has really helped me understand insecurities that I might have, and it just feels really great to write everything that's in your head down on paper. I made a video on journaling on my channel, it's in French though. But I can relate to everything you've said in your video. I also like to write down "scenarios" of situations I would love to happen to manifest the law of attraction. When I read back and realize that some things have actually happened, it feels magical and super powerful. :)

[@franzin9550]

whatlauralikes. ☽ how / with wich words do you start a entry

[@SleeplessPage]

I️ literally think I️ love you. Too much? I️ know, sorry. Your videos are so amazing and relatable and really strike a chord. I’ve been journaling since I️ was 19 and over the years my style has evolved but it’s always been about “releasing”onto the pages. Whatever that release needs to be. Sometimes it’s a quote or a drawing and sometimes it’s all the feelings in run on sentence filled story. It’s myself on paper. Thank you for all that you share on this channel! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@OverallAdventures]

Oh my gosh, you are so kind

[@Emilywilson10222]

Love watching this video knowing how your life happened for the 6 years after this was filmed!! Gives me a lot of hope that everything will turn out okay in the end!

[@thesweetestangel27]

By far my favorite, and most helpful, journal video I've watched. I've been wanting to journal for some time, but didn't know how to do it. This video has helped so much. Thank you

[@ohyeahbriannayeah]

so helpful! your energy is infectious and your voice is so soothing. thank you

[@OverallAdventures]

Thank you, thank you for compliment

[@anubhav908]

I recently started watching your videos and they're awesome and it got me hooked. Something is so positive about you. like idk how, but I can feel it from here. pretty crazy I know. XD

[@josepharnold5627]

See I’m so glad I came across your videos thank you so much for the advice, you rock!

[@brightpage1020]

Hello Beautiful! Just saw a few of your vids for the first time and am feeling so inspired by your work! I used to journal twice per day since I was 8 y/o and read Dear Mr. Henshaw by (Beverly Cleary?) Made it an at least once daily practice (usually twice: upon waking and just before bed) all through high school and most of college. It kept me sane! I did it first as a writing exercise... then stoped making time for it when working 2 jobs... life got crazy (b/c I wasn't journalling anymore, probably, right?) blah blah blah; a few jobs and kids later I've been getting back into it (in hopes of recovering my sanity with a 3 y/o, 6 m/o, and a new, yet unborn pregnancy around the house...) So tough to find the energy when I find the time and vice versa. Tend to fall asleep 5 minutes after sitting down, even just like eating lunch. Have literally dozed completely off at the lunch table twice lately. One time my husband caught me right before I clocked into my spaghetti plate. Phew! Close call... the perils of raising kids. Lol. Anyway, great work! Thanks. Have subscribed so I can keep up and keep listening to those nudges to get back to it. I lose myself without it a little.

[@cathykyra]

I just found your videos on journaling and I really love the way you explain everything and you seem like such a wonderful human being ! 😊

[@YourMom-bx8mm]

Hello Tina, thanks so much for this video! This video has helped me so much with.... everything! I'm going to be moving from Canada to Germany in about a month and, I'm only 12 so it's been very stressful for my parents and I. This video has helped me find my peace in a "crisis" and I'd like to thank you for that! I've recently got a journal for the road up ahead because of you! Thanks again ❤️

[@HoneyBeaMine]

Just started journaling, and this video really helped! Thank you so much! 😘

[@OverallAdventures]

Awesome!! I'm so glad that you discovered journaling!!

[@majadw05]

Thanks for this Video. This year i will do an Exchange year and for that i want to Start like a journal💜

[@vegadhingra2402]

You are inspiring me to write journals

[@tarad4162]

This is such a great video! I didn't take much interest in journaling before because I only thought of it as writing what happened in your day which doesn't always interest me. This year I started with a journal that gives you one question each day and then you revisit the questions the next year (October 19 is always the same question for 5 years). I found myself wanting to write more about certain questions in a separate journal, and I realized how freeing writing can be! I've always loved to write, but now that I realized that their are no rules as to what you can write about it has become a great device for my personal growth as well as working my way through emotions and even hardships. I only recently found your channel but you inspire me to keep writing! I hope you have a lovely day! 😊✨

[@OverallAdventures]

YES! Prompt journals are such an awesome way to start journaling and I'm SO glad that you listened to your creative instincts and branched out to your own journal

[@zakiyajohnson9382]

I just discovered your channel and I freaking LOVE YOU like seriously your so calm exciting and positive but yea for me I'm going to start my journal when I start high school next year/in a couple of months

[@lemonecricket8501]

I have just found you, thank you for your inspiration. I have never journaled before but I would like to start one just I'm being / becoming a minimalist. and I love your sun Face Lady page. I wish I could get a copy and make it a dashbord . LOL keep up the beautiful work

[@graciestafford8520]

This helped so much! Thank you so much!

[@aichk7786]

[@bharatgandharkar1791]

This video helped me to start my journal which I was putting off for a while now! Thanks a lot😄

[@ClarePlantation]

Please Please Please create more videos about Journals. I love your style and how affectionate you are towards them. You make it deeper than that of just bound pages that you can write in. Overall, your channel is so nice and fresh but I truly do love what you have to say about your journals.

[@OverallAdventures]

Yesss!! Thank you so much

[@ClarePlantation]

+Overall Adventures Well, my channel is a lot about Art Journaling but I really want to get into MORE of the journaling side. I of course dont want you to share all of your secrets that you write about but I love watching people work in their journal, talk about your process, what you were thinking while you were creating. You have such a different and refreshing view on journals that I enjoy listening too. So I guess just show us how you work.

[@ClarePlantation]

+Overall Adventures and Im very excited about your love letter video because I love doing that too. When you said you write love letters in this video and that you were very single and looking forward to meeting that one man...I was like YEAAAAYYYY Im NOT ALONE!

[@amarahcook1862]

You inspire me so much! I started to journal and it's so so freeing :-)3

[@OverallAdventures]

I'm so glad to hear it!!! That is so exciting!!! How is it going so far?

[@joanna8381]

That video relaxed me 😃

[@doreenmarie4938]

I journal mainly because I have the memory of a goldfish so I try to write down everything I think I would like to remember, because probably I wouldn't if I didn't write it down. I don't even remember what I had for dinner

[@OverallAdventures]

Ha, YES. SAME HERE!!! It's a great reason to journal!

[@Sabrina79]

"The memory of a goldfish" YES! Me too! If I didn't write I'd forget EVERYTHING.

[@OverallAdventures]

Thank you Selen :) Yes, I will definitely try to do this. I'm not sure what form - if it will be a Q&A or something a little bit more abstract. I'll try to incorporate more in my monthly favorites as well :) Thanks again!

[@OverallAdventures]

Yay!! How is your new journal going? Sending you lots of creative energy!!

[@blueeyedmagic6544]

I've been writing letters all the time in my journal . If I'm writing about people I write them a letter. I also wrote a dream for the 1st time in this journal

[@ray8206]

This helps so much for me and I hope you make more videos like this because just hearing you talk about journaling makes me want to just keep on journaling.

[@faye20063]

Hey! Great video! I was curious if you could talk more about your index. Since your journal isn't strictly an organizer type journal how do you use/do or create your index...How many pages is your index...etc. Thanks! :)

[@OverallAdventures]

Yes! My index is typically 2 pages (front and back) and I try to label it with things that I think might be interesting to look back on. Ex - dream about mom, poem about the full moon, I'm angry because... does that make sense? Most of them are pretty vague titles, but the fact that I indexed them, tells me later that I found something about them interesting/worth noting :)

[@MabelShields]

Awesome as always. Thanks

[@OverallAdventures]

Thank you friend

[@intofolklore13]

I love this video too much!!!!

[@OverallAdventures]

You're such a little gem. I keep binge watching your vids. :) I've been obsessed with notebooks and journals since I was little. I mean elementary age. I'm 38 now. I feel like you get me! Just the joy and mystery of a new notebook, with its beautiful white, blank pages is thee most exciting thing! Who knows what will be placed in those pages! I always get so excited to write, even if I have nothing to write about. I just want to put something in that blank book. Thank you for sharing your soul in these videos. Your bravery doesn't go un noticed....
