The Power of 10-15 Minutes a Day | Creative Journaling

[@lucycarroll6966]

This video is another great reminder that the small everyday moments are in fact the big moments, and can be the sweetest ones 🧡

[@amytangerine]

TRUTH!!!

[@blimpa]

Creative journaling has genuinely transformed my life. I feel more in-touch with reality and connected to my experiences. I get to create art with my life every single day. It's a great hobby, but it's also an incredible self care experience and healthy coping skill

[@amytangerine]

YES!! TRUTH!!

[@Sonicman415]

Fun is underrated medicine. Love this.

[@amytangerine]

Couldn't agree more!

[@Staceyintampa]

My anxiety has reappeared and maybe some journaling is just what I need! Thank you for the reminder and sharing your journal.

[@amytangerine]

Oh Stacey, I do believe journaling helps so much!! Have you seen Inside Out 2 yet?

[@lisamorales3914]

Definitely helps me.

[@HowtoFaithALife]

I love all the reasons you gave about the impact of journaling... I feel that BIG TIME

[@amytangerine]

YESSSS!

[@linda-leedesigns4891]

I love the fact that you try and fail because I’m constantly staring and not finishing 😊

[@amytangerine]

Keep going, my friend!!

[@BelowAverageMinecrafter]

I started doing this earlier this year. A yearly creative journal/memory planner that ends/begins on my birthday each year! Previously I only ever did travellers notebooks and I loved them!

[@amytangerine]

AMAZING!

[@robinvogelsang5535]

Thank you so much for this positive, motivating weekly spread! While I am not always able to do each week, my goal is to at least grab snippets from the month! 😏. Taking the time to reflect and learn from what occurred in a creative way is so freeing for me! I love your products and appreciate the time you spend to share your creativity and talents!! Be blessed this week!❤

[@amytangerine]

You are so welcome!

[@heidiholler3197]

What an amazing video!!! I’ve watched countless KZbin videos about journaling and they’re all great, but this really spoke to me. Loved seeing your flip thru and the sharing of your daily stories, photos and different medias. It all works so beautifully together, I love it. So inspired by you. Thank you, stay awesome!

[@amytangerine]

Amy when you said “perfectionism is not welcome here” I was like “YES!”🙌🏻 and thank goodness 😁 Thank you so much for sharing this clip through it helped me so much as I’m about to start doing this for the first time.🥰🙏🏻

[@amytangerine]

YAY! What's that saying about perfection being the enemy to good? Or maybe it's perfection is the enemy to progress? Just flow with what makes you happy!

[@selfcarewitval_]

Motivational, gratitude, and travel amongst other things! I'm so loving this journal spread!!!

[@amytangerine]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@UARELOVE1010]

This was a brilliant idea. I loved all your suggestions, ideas, and thoughts. I do spreads like this once in a while like an occasion but never daily. I love the simplicity and the benefits of this daily habit!! Thank you for sharing this idea and for the flip-through 🥰

[@amytangerine]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@michelleharris312]

While driving from Santa Barbara back to the reality of LA, lol, I listened to you as the guest on the Abundant Ever After - Cathy Heller podcast. Your experience is so inspiring and refreshing. Love this journal walkthrough, it encourages us to find the joy and beauty in our daily lives.

[@amytangerine]

That is awesome! Thank you so much!

[@live_in_thejoy]

This was perfect timing. I’m sitting here with all of these books is the middle of the year and I just want to completely re-transform the way I’m planning not getting ready for 2025 because I think that’s insane but just redoing and reimagining some things in my life I’m currently on a wellness journey so I’m gonna reimagine that kind of notebook and this, this is perfect. This is exactly what I needed and to hear you say it’s only a 10 or 15 minutes. Oh this is this is in my morning routine starting Monday love love love love love this.

[@amytangerine]

Oh so happy to hear!! You got this.

[@gracemse]

This was the perfect reminder to find the magic in the every day. Thank you for sharing! I can't believe how big Jack is! And Junie!

This is so true! I started really getting back into journaling a few weeks ago, and it's a game changer. I was worried about starting the middle of the year, but you made a lot of sense with that, so thank you!

Love this! Started in a Hobonichi in May and love it! I didn’t know I would. Thought I wanted more of blank pages but not having to think of how to date them is amazing. So easy to keep up.

[@amytangerine]

YAYYYYYYY!

[@mandyfordart]

Thanks for all of this inspiration Amy! I love the vision boards you created and just the overall easy collaged feel to your pages.

Thank you Amy. I am in the process of decluttering anticipating a move next year. I have not had time since COVID to scrapbook or stamp since. I had sooo much stuff! So I purged what I didn’t want and kept everything that I would use. Including some of your ephemera 😀. I took what remains, some stamps and stickers for creative journaling. Haven’t started yet, but excited to start.

[@amytangerine]

You can do it! You are so awesome!

Love this! Thanks for sharing your journal and inspiring us. I’ve been so busy and overwhelmed caring for my mom. Setting aside some time to play in my memory planner helps to relieve my stress. Watching your videos cheers me up too!😊

[@amytangerine]

Oh my heart. You're doing amazing and I am sorry you're feeling overwhelmed. Take some amazing care of yourself a bit too and relieve that stress.

[@dianahumphrey9021]

Love this Amy! I was very curious about using a Hobonichi and I was lucky to find a 2023 one on eBay for $5! I figured this way I can try it and see if I like it. Just an idea for others because they are kind of expensive.

[@amytangerine]

What a great idea!! Let me know what you think of the paper after you use it for a few weeks!

[@kaleighthacker4367]

In January 2024 I found a 2023 hobo on eBay for $22 including shipping. I’ve been using it all year but wanted a lower price point to test it out before buying such an expensive planner. I’ve just been editing the days of the weeks/etc so it works for this year. Hope you’re enjoying your 2023 one too!!

[@dianahumphrey9021]

@@kaleighthacker4367 I am enjoying it. I think the thinner paper takes some time to get use to. But I am enjoying the daily practice of being creative! Glad you found one too to test!

So beautiful!!!!!! Do you print your pictures at home? Are you sure they won't fade for them not having been developed in a lab? I worry a lot about durability in photos... Home printing or lab? Thanks!

[@amytangerine]

Thank you!! I print these at home. I just did a compact printer review and uploaded that video. I do prefer matte photos printed in a lab, but I don't have the patience for it. For me, I think it's more important to get to creativity and doing this daily doesn't work if I have to wait for prints to come from a lab. Especially bc locally they only print glossy and I don't prefer that.

[@plan4life]

Lol, as if we all live such an eventful life as you do. My day consists of sleeping, watching KZbin and, and, yeah that’s about it. I could do my journalling in about 1 minute.

[@ruleofthree99]

as someone who has had similarly boring periods, i like tracking what i am watching/listening to. my tastes change over time in a way i never noticed until i started writing about it. idk, i know it sounds silly, but especially since the yt algorithm has gotten so weird, i found it fun

[@plan4life]

@@ruleofthree99 You make a very good point. I definitely go through periods when I watch ‘useful’ things on KZbin and sometimes ‘waste of time’ things and maybe that does tell some kind of a story about my life in that moment, so thanks for that. You see people sometimes write down what their current playlist is, or what they are binge watching, and that does record a moment in time.

[@Alaska_Laci]

I was so excited to see AT videos on YT… but then all that background noise had me running to my windows wondering who the heck is in my driveway. I live in the middle of nowhere so those sounds really throw me off. Cute journal tho. Mine is similar but more about my day & more journaling.

[@amytangerine]

Sorry! I guess I just don’t even notice since I live in LA. But my studio feels quiet to me 😆
