How to journal for mental health without the “dear diary” vibe

[@a_leaf]

Your hair is gorgeous ❤

[@silondilejali229]

I love journaling. It’s always been my go-to self healing tool. Sometimes just to release is enough. The lessons & realisations will come later. Also, your hair is doing the things. You look amazing!

[@Boyhead1973]

Great advice -- definitely doing this! And, I'm loving the gray!!

[@caizerquashie679]

Thanks Love Your Hair, that’s the first thing I noticed, it’s beautiful. ❤

[@sdb9884]

This is so helpful. I don’t want to have a detailed journal of my life. I don’t do anything very interesting, but I do want to keep track of my mental state for myself and my psych doctor. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

[@captainnemo190]

Great advice. On a side note, your hair is just perfect🙂

[@ManjiriChitnis]

Love this! Also you are stunning 🤩

[@sarahbethyoga]

Thank you 💙

[@vaporwingfauxmcloud1190]

Its videos like this that brings people closer together. Everyone feels anxiety and depression at a specific level. But it takes a beautiful soul to share how to help fight against these emotional problems

[@SoNu-tq3iw]

If saw that face everyday would only be a smiley face, what a beauty!!

[@LaSandraLife]

You are absolutely beautiful ❤!

[@sarahbethyoga]

😊💙

[@funkyunclenardi]

Extremely therapeutic suggestion. I’ve witnessed the effects on people of all walks of life in numerous industries. It doesn’t have to publicly displayed. Just as long as you drop a few unhindered and unedited lines, you’ve done the task ✍🏽❤️

[@Nqo19]

Oh wow! love the smiley face idea!

[@sarahbethyoga]

😊💙

[@lone-welf]

this is a wonderful, simple idea cuz i struggle severely to write in the 'dear diary' vibes. you're also one of the most mesmerizingly beautiful humans i've ever seen.

[@sarahbethyoga]

[@sarahbethyoga]

It helps to have some prompts! I like using this system too

[@wild_cub_times]

Wery fine short. Explained well and shortly, good advice and love it completely. Thanks❤ When I say good advice, it means new or/and well thought! Not generic mumbo jumbo😂

[@DietzLife]

And you video journal, which is what I love to do myself❤

[@pixelzebra8440]

Just so y’all know there’s nothing wrong with journaling and having a “dear diary” vibe. Anne Frank did it and it is one of the most important pieces of literature of all time imo

Thanks for sharing! I love this, and you ❤️❤️

[@arabica571]

Simple, straight to the point..

[@sarahbethyoga]

That’s it… 🙏

[@bcrox335]

Great idea! I need to try the smileys to make it easy to jot down how I feel

[@AvinasXchaudharY]

Thank you for sharing Short simple & vast 🙏🏻🌸✨ Dear Diary is my triggered smile 😊

[@kn3390]

Thank you for sharing an approachable method for journaling! I have tried to journal in the past and always get frustrated. I never know where to start and get overwhelmed. This provides me the structure I feel that I need. 😊

[@erikabowers7827]

I love this. Def going to give it a try 🙂

[@epcza13]

I think I might try this for myself. Every time I try to journal by just writing, it doesn’t help. This might be a better method for me to try. Thank you!

[@sarahbethyoga]

Keep me posted 💙💙

[@Squirrel-zq6oe]

I find it so hard sometimes to talk about how I'm feeling, because it depends on the subject that I'm focusing on. Like, I can talk about it and write it down, but it's like I feel so many ways at one time just in different parts of my life.

[@sarahbethyoga]

What if you were to journal out those different parts of your life? Have you seen the Wheel Of Life exercise? You can google it, I also do a workshop in the SarahBethYoga APP each year discussing it. The :) :/ :( is more like how you felt as a total sum in your day so you can look back and keep track of your mood in general. But definitely dive deeper!

[@unnatidave007]

I have also started my KZbin journal channel ❤❤ your ideas were helpful 😊

[@sarahbethyoga]

🙏🙏

[@salimdag4178]

I can talk about any thing any given time, oh girl i wish i have had a system to track these ideas outside of the life's intellectual system. Life is a bugger!

[@sa7828]

Girl how cute are you trying to be with that hair? Goodness. Love your yoga. Helps an old jiu jitsu guy get through the day. Thank you for all you do. :)

[@Ida-Adriana]

Hey, how goes? Is there a way to learn jiu jitsu by myself at home? Live on an island v rural, in a field.

[@sa7828]

@@Ida-Adriana Yes! I have a black belt friend who has done much of his study alone at home. He has both physical and financial challenges and has trained with his home-made, well made dummies. He also does tremendous mental training and mental repetitions of the techniques. You can train if you want! I should make it clear that in a self-defense situation this guy could very easily finish someone. Amazing skill!

[@corinnedye3918]

I keep a secret diary on the left pages written in invisible ink and in normal pen on the right side I write about things I like. I also sketch on the left. Someone told me they incurrage it in rehab so I tried it and it is helpful

[@sarahbethyoga]

Beautiful 🙏

[@NainikaMS-w8g]

TBH I think this video is underrated

[@sarahbethyoga]

Thank you! 💙

[@SovereignSelf2095]

Is this short from a full video or live? I’d love to see the full video

[@sowen1997]

What's your hair care routine?

[@CaptainAHABDUNE]

That's a good idea.

[@sarahbethyoga]

[@Riocaprio-k4d]

very informative :)

[@sarahbethyoga]

Thank you 🙏

[@AshrafAli-g1c]

Beutiful

[@Pasta76]

For my journal I don’t write “Dear diary” I put the date and the number of journal like if I have journaled for the 10th time or something and after those I write about my day I sometimes would add this the mood, any triggers and accomplishments

[@sarahbethyoga]

I like that you found what works for you 🙏💙

[@yogeshwaran6045]

I done the way you told me.

[@askingforthemoon]

Okay I don’t know you but first thing I thought was "gosh I want that girl's hair" and it looks like I am not the only one

[@sarahbethyoga]

🙏💙😊

[@ngunjan]

Thanks. How does it help overall or there should be no expectation?

[@sarahbethyoga]

It helps for self-reflection

[@ngunjan]

@SarahBethYoga Thanks. Self refelction is the most difficult thing to put in words. Where to begin?

[@sarahbethyoga]

@@ngunjan Begin with journaling, the self-reflection will come naturally, and especially as you go back and re-read old entries

[@ngunjan]

@@sarahbethyoga Thanks and Namaste!

[@saikatsamanta6187]

Should I also write the timing?

[@sarahbethyoga]

If you feel it will help you in your reflection 🙏

[@thelmaotiono3999]

did anyone write down the points?

[@jingjongtv4]

Idk why I did 😂

[@Nerodotnet]

Am I tripping or did anyone else think this was jessie paige? 😭

[@ljc3484]

Why can't you say Dear Diary? I think most people kind of know on some level that when we make a diary entry, we feel we are talking to someone. Could be your future self, a dead relative. Teenaged girls from years ago considered their diaries to be trusted friends.

[@ZailynnNoel]

You are incredibly beautiful. It's kind of distracting. LOL

[@Contactbps]

Love your hairstyle

[@sarahbethyoga]

Thank you 💙
