WRITING JOURNAL FLIP THROUGH: a notebook helps me with ideas, thought connections & overwhelm

[@rahulsamir3715]

I always love to watch your videos. The way you journal is naturally beautiful, ☺☺☺.

[@DeborahCarrAuthor]

Your journals are always so beautifully put together.

I love this so much! I always want to make so lovely journals like this filled with my thoughts and musings but I get so stressed about “ruining” my pretty notebooks. But they look even more beautiful filled with notes and writing and love.

[@HelenRedfern]

Thank you! And yes I used to worry about ruining them too, but now I love seeing all the pages filled in.

Same 😫

I got that same printer earlier this month, and I am having so much fun with it! I love your process and ideas! You're an inspiration always!

[@HelenRedfern]

Thanks, Amy!

Regarding your photo a day: I used a giant happy (memory) planner ( the biggest size) and stuck 1 photo, or news clipping, or my own words or drawings of what happened each day of the pandemic in 2020. I started in March 2020 ( when it hit where I live) and continued daily for a year when my interest in continuing fizzled out. It’s huge and now I love flipping through its pages. I know it’ll be a keepsake for my family one day. (I think I should create a post about it😃). PS I have not one post anywhere yet-I’m still hiding under my desk😉

[@HelenRedfern]

What a lovely idea! And yes, create a post about it! ❤️

[@andreaorourke]

I can’t wait to see your post about it. It sounds very inspiring 😊

Thanks for sharing! I'm curious to know - how often do you go back & look over your writing journal to look for "trends" and see if what threads + ideas are forming/repeating?

[@HelenRedfern]

I go through it once I've completed it and try to make notes of the key themes and the good ideas in my new notebook. But I also go back and forth through the pages regularly because I'm constantly referring to it.
