So happy that we're doing this together ❤️ Have you been journaling?! Comment what journaling videos you want to see next! Would love to see you guys in the journal sessions: Join my Journal club: www.Joclub.world
@@bubba283 even just writing 2-3 sentences is a great way to start!
Can you do a more indept video on how you have been journalling so consistently. What was your strategy? What routine you followed. What advice you give to people having done this for a year. How to overcome perfectionism or Anxiety etc.. Most people don't have privacy and live with others. So the idea of another person reading your most intimate and vulnerable moments is quite intimidating for a lot of us. Will you be doing a house tour? Videos on how you were able to afford the house at such a young age without a partner. ✨ Congratulations Girrrlll! 🍾 🥂 🥄
I’m so excited for all of this! Yes!
One thing I've noticed about journaling is that I'm kinder to myself on paper than I am in my head. Something about writing it down makes me realise how ridiculous that voice in my head really is.
Wow that’s 💯
I just started journaling again and it is so helpful. My bf broke up with me and I no longer have a therapist. I start my morning writing out my feelings and allowing myself to cry. I write about my childhood to heal some inner child trauma. I write every thought no matter how silly it sounds. Too much emotions are stuck in our body and writing helps get it out
It is so helpful. Repressing feelings and feeling shame and guilt over it leads to nothing bu self hate. We gotta let it out somewhere
I can not do that because I don't know how to read or write.
I'm sorry you're having such a hard time, but you're on the right path by allowing yourself to 'feel' and DEAL with it. Good for you! A lot of times I would just block out all the pain, and never face it, but it comes back to bite you later.
Journaling with you for a year changed my life too! I was in a super dark place last April, but you and journaling got me out of that, Jo. Seriously, thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
THIS IS WHY WE WILL KEEP GOING! ❤️ Thank you for joining me!
I can not do that because I don't know how to read or write.
How I missed joclub I don’t know 🤦🏾♀️ all these videos your making lately are clearly a reflection of the woman you are/are becoming. I hope you’re proud of yourself because I am 🥲 It’s so easy to support these moves your making girl learning so much from your journey 👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you for such a sweet commmment!
I can not do that because I don't know how to read or write.
i just realized jo was journal thats genius
totallllly - Jo(urnal) lol! super convenient with my name
This is so crazy I found this video today. I was just journaling last night about how I barely wrote because I was worried about my future self judging my past self. I would hide more and more from myself. This year I've been writing like a mad woman, talking about shame, trust, goals, and just reflecting so much. I even mentioned reading one of my family members journal from the early 1900s and the entry was something like "I fed the chickens today." That made me feel so free, if someone can write about feeding a chicken, I can write whatever I please in my own journals! Excited to see more from you!
I started journaling when I was 13 (2018) and it was the best thing I did. Watching your videos just motivates me to write more. Now, I'm gonna start journaling to improve my learning of languages. Thank you so much, Jo. ❤
But first of all JO its the crisp video quality and all the dope colors in the frame for me!! You go girl !!! Journaling is super powerful
Journalling has 100% been the most helpful and transformative practice for me 💕
I started journaling last year with you, and it changed my life. Can’t think of my life without journaling now. Best therapy ever
I started daily journaling because of you in April 2020. A year later, I'm still journaling and I know this is something I won't abandon for the rest of my life. I just fillrd in my entry before coming to watch this video. Thank you x
Okay, I'll start journaling now
Video about the science behind journaling would be amazing!! :)
Mayuko in her most recent video said "...introspection is my hobby." Introspection is MY hobby! I am so happy that there is a group of people online whose "hobby" is being introspective.
Jo, what your nephew said reminds me of the main massage of “intermitências da morte” by Jose Saramago
I started using your prompts at the beginning of the year and it has been so helpful to think about things differently and i enjoy the ritual of journaling because i have one where i can reflect on the day and then with the one for the prompts it allows me to just thinking about whatever it is.
Bettttyyyyy ❤️❤️❤️
I have been journaling for years. Since my divorce I have picked a signature color for the year and my journal was that color. It’s been an emotional couple of years but my colorful journals have gotten me through. New subscriber here. Love your platform! ~Elizabeth❤️
Eu comecei em fevereiro por sua causa quando assisti seu outro vídeo sobre manter um diário e mudou minha vida!
Rediscovering your videos and you gave me the push I needed to order a notebook from amazon and begin my Journal Journey! Hope to join the club soon
This was the kick in the butt I needed 😅
I’ve been journaling since I was a kid, and going back to read all those small events makes me so happy. And it’s nice to realize those issues that seemed huge back then, were actually not that big of a deal! It makes it easier to look at roadblocks now, and analyze them for what they really are, and not letting them take over.
IT IS SO DAMN COOL TO OBSERVE YOURSELF right?!
@@jofranco hilariously I would draw photos of my siblings or parents when I was mad, and colour them to portray how full of anger they were 🤣 usually they were 95% mean.
I admire your boldness to share your most private thoughts. Keep writing.
Thanks to you I’m nearly at my one year journal anniversary. It’s is truly like having a one to one with a good friend and it helped me find out so much more about my self 😊
I'm really enjoying your recent content, you're such fun and positive energy!
JO!! you're truly amazing, you've inspired me for years and this is literally wanting me to start journalling now! also congrats on getting the house!! you made it girl!!!
I started journaling last April thanks to you and it's been so rewarding! Thank you for explaining why you did it because it gave me a new perspective on what the purpose of it was, and now I've journaled regularly for a whole year!
Starting Jo Club today! Just did my first entry! Let's go - I'm so excite for this!! :)
You are amazing Jo, such an inspiring, incredible woman ❤️
Wow! That’s commitment! Love it 👌🏼❤️
I followed JoClub a few months ago but have not motivated to write yet. For Year 2, I really want to start! ❤️These are outcomes I could really use in my life and I know I'll love reading the entries back later. Thanks for empowering everyone to write their stories!
Love all your videos but especially the journaling ones ❤️✨
I am in the JoClub (you can see my face in some of the screen grabs from the meetings 😂) and I can attest that it has been an incredible experience. I had never really journaled with prompts before and it has been awesome. This could not have come at a more perfect time since journaling through the pandemic has helped me process so much. At first, journaling with a community on Zoom sounded intimidating but now it is something I always look forward to. Those sessions bring me so much peace and the community members are amazing people!
I still can't believe we've been at this for a year! I can't thank you (and everyone who's shared) enough for sparking such a positive change in my life.
I’ve kept daily diaries for 9 years now! In the last year, I haven’t missed a single day (the previous 8 years definitely weren’t that consistent!). I mostly write what has happened in my day and what has been on my mind. I’m now so tempted to start a journal as well and start with your prompts!
I started journaling pretty much as soon as I could sound out words as a child, and have not stopped since. I'm so grateful I have my almost my whole life chronicled out on paper.
I love your journaling videos, Jo! Have you ever kept a journal in a language other than English? I journal in Spanish and looking at my entries from when I was just beginning to learn are absolutely hilarious!
I have been going through an identity crisis recently. There have been so many changes in my life...end of a relationship, new job, fresh out of college...I have spent a lot of the past year catering to the needs of others, completely drifting away from the independent, powerful, and creative woman I was before this relationship. A few days ago I hit an all time low with regard to my mental health and decided I was tired of feeling like this. I have reached out to my loved ones and they have all given their support and advice but after watching just a few of your videos, I found myself becoming motivated about my well being and self growth for the first time an a very long time. I am going to get my shit back together because at the end of the day all I have is myself to rely on. I used to journal back in middle school and forgot how much it helped. Cheers to a new chapter of journalling, financial prosperity, and personal growth.
this is too cute...I am going to start journaling in all these blank notebooks I have lying around. Thank you for the motivation!❤
I still have my journals since high school. I've tried numerous amount of times to discard them but I feel like I'm letting go apart of myself. I don't know who will get the first read when I'm gone but they'll have great laughs😄
I literally was just thinking about how I should journal today and about your last journaling vid! 💕
30 seconds in and I am already loving your enthusiasm and bubbly way:) I guess I have missed journaling together but I can always start checking out your questions now hehe. Subbed already!
You’re so inspirational Joanna!
It’s crazy I found you a couple weeks ago but I ALREADY am a better person:) you are amazing Jo, and absolutely living in your purpose. Thankyou! ✨
I started journaling again right after your first journaling Video. I had pretty much stopped during university and it showed in my bad mental health. Having to do something daily stresses me out, because it's so easy to miss a day and then just give up. So I told myself I would journal regularly- whatever that means. So I pretty much have written at least once a week often more. So that's a great success and helped me a lot. Thanks for reminding me to write! 😊
Also: why not live life twice?! That's so perfect!!! ♥️
I think it helps to write out the negative to work through it, but you're right, it's definitely important to write down the good, so we can remember it 😊
Thank you for all that you do Jo!
I do it because and for and thanks to you guys! ❤️
Okay after watching this video, I found an empty notebook and I wrote my first journal entry - like four pages of just my thoughts gushing out of my brain onto the paper. I will do this daily now because I need that self-exploration and growth this year! Thank you very much :)
This was so inspiring! I have always been a journaler, but recently I have dedicated every Sunday to journaling. But, I think daily journaling would be more beneficial to me because my thoughts run rapid every single day and it would be great to give them a playground to tire themselves out instead of driving me crazy lol Thank you for this video! I just subscribed to your TH-cam channel and followed your joclub insta 😊
i wish i had journaling the last year, i loved this idea and i will follow. thanks, jo for sharing!
I just found you & the Jo Club. This is encouraging! I wish I had found the club earlier. The Jo Club Zoom call sounds like such a good idea to stay motivated. Subscribing and then I'll write in my journal tonight!
yess!!! i love this! cheers to journaling
ahhhh this got me even more inspired to write in my journals thank you
Je trouve ça génial ! Tout ce potentiel que ça ouvre lorsque tu arrives à être vraie envers toi même sur papier.
J'ai essayé de suivre cela. Cependant j'ai toujours eu l'impression de ne pas être moi-même, de me mentir, d'écrire le journal de quelqu'un d'autre. Même si je n'ai pas continué pour le moment, le peu que j'ai fait a reflété ce sur quoi je devais travailler et m'autoriser à demander de l'aide pour aller mieux.
Merci pour ton partage 😊
New to your channel.
love this. I personally journal everyday and it helps me so much through life.
Your memoirs will be so accurate and beautiful
Joining Jo Club today!
So excited to join! Life is good, but I am finding myself overwhelmed with holding everything in my head. I used to write almost every day. This video is a refreshing reminder that I need to start again and make it a ritual/routine. Thank Jo, you, ma'am, are the shit.
This is so awesome Jo, I want to journal now too, only twice a week though
I love your red notebook! I want a red one as well. Seems like a classic :)
JO SAID IM BACCCKKKKKKKK 💕💕 loving these uploads, babe!!!
I just read some journals from 2018 and I was like oh wow she was sad 😂😂😂 I’m good now no worries but still it’s crazy to see where your mindset was at and how much it can change !
Hahah! I’m committing to TH-cam again! Excited to see what happens
Also glad you’re doing better 🤣❤️
@@jofranco you’re a killer and your voice is MUCH needed here. Trust. Obvi take ur breaks when u need it, but don’t forget about us! 😭😭😂😂 I’m excited to see where u go too! Sending you endless love!!!!
Love you jo 💗💗
Amazinggg concept and opportunity
Journaling is one of my favorite things to do for myself. I’ve been doing it since 4th grade (got inspired to start after reading Diary of Anne Frank).
It’s been so fun and interesting to go back over my journals from years ago and see how I’ve grown
I’ve been using an app to journal for about 3 years? Four years? 🤔 I swear by it! I think everyone should journal. For me, it’s like being my own therapist and doing a brain dump. And sometimes ... SOMETIMES it helps me to stop overthinking things. I love that you are promoting journaling.
What’s it’s called?
@@claramurphy8260 Notebook
the playground analogy is REAAAAAALLL
Just finished watching your home buying video now I'm here. I don't know why God brought you into my life but I'm sure glad because it.
After that "You're gonna love me" rendition you have gained I subscriber!
Girl you are a hoot and I love ya already 🤗
Also I have been journaling more lately because I used to a lot when I was younger. I haven't been as consistent as everyday but this is the first time I have completed a full journal cover to cover no pages skipped. I definitely want to continue this.
❤️❤️❤️❤️ happy you’re here!
Lmaooo omg I cracking up at the intro
GOOD VIBES FOR YOUR WEDNESDAY!
You're awesome❣
Jo you're really writes super well
Love your energy! Honestly if the intro to this video was the whole thing, I'd be so content haha!
YOURE SO WISE YOURE LIKE A BIG SISTER
Love that pointilism painting analogy
Love this...
I've started journaling this year and I've been petty consistent, its been really useful to me, but my journal is very negative, since I don't have anyone in my life to really talk to, its turned into a place to rant and that's not what I want to look back on, but everytime i open the book its hard for me to not write whats happened in the day which is mostly bad, I think I should definitely work on prompts instead from now on.
Along with journaling I've been trying to do a photo a day (trying lol), usually of myself since I realised that I don't have photos of myself from the last 11 years, since I was 14!
Same here. I always end up crying whenever I go back and read my journal. But I was mostly writing on the bad days. So I am trying to be more consistent.
Also I have not tooken ANY pictures of my self and that isn't good. What will I show my grandchildren?
Keep trying it will get better. I love you in case anyone doesn't tell you. 😘
@@swedmerson90 Thank you for this! I hope we both can learn the ways of positive journaling 💜💜
i'm not even finished with the video but this got me super motivated 👀👀 i think i'll start tomorrow with the first prompt from joclub. AND 9:15 CAN WE PLEASE APPRECIATE IT?? oof i always have this brain fog and my mind is constantly busy, to the point where i can't even remember what i was thinking about. and since i apparently like to pour out my emotions every now and then, randomly in the youtube comments like this, why wouldn't i do the same for journaling?? 💀 it would deffo help me. my only problem is to stay consistent. but i got this. i believe in me. GET IT.
edit: i finished the video and jo, i want to thank you for this!! you are very well-spoken and that makes listening to you such a joy! there's something really cool about being able to express yourself and your feelings, and journaling probably helps too. okay. i'm starting tomorrow morning. 🤲
It's hilariously that I've gravitated towards your content. You're a CANCER ♋ I always catch the vibes unintentionally and am drawn towards TH-camrs who happen to be Cancers cuz the energy is just different. Thanks for being a huge inspiration and source of peace for me. Your content is very appreciated
We put our hearts in everything because we can’t help it lol
Super late to the party, but hopefully it ain't too late for me to join??
(I've been journaling since I was twelve on and off, but am way more consistent now and really just enjoy it. This has been such an inspiration during the last couple of weeks to really look inward and find solice in getting to know myself through one of my greatest passions, which is writing. Thank you Jo, Much love xx🌹)
The more the merrier ❤️
Love the idea of seeing life as a pointillism painting
Here we goooooo
WOOOOP WOOOOP!
Do you really know how amazing you are? Thanks for this
i journal everything and i love it.
I've managed to keep a calendar/journal for the past year, and I am so much less scattered. I think I want to transition into a full journal next.
You’re so dope. Looking for a nice journal and pen right now!
I enjoy journaling, but not just in a biographical way also my ideas & philosophical thoughts
I just started again journal 📔. I am loving it
follow @joclub_ for prompts!
this vibe tho
Aiai Jo, sou obcecada por voceee
You should design your own journal :)
I am both (a) hurting myself and (b) disturbing my neighbors with laughter at that last clip 😂🤣 "April....... 🤔"
8:46 so true. Just writing down your worries in a to-do list, creates space in your mind.
12:18 what TH-cam and other social media’s are turning into. Urgh. Drama.
13:30 there is another way to live than OnlyFans
#wellbeing
This channel is pretty pretty good.
Thanks dude! It’s growing at a snail pace, but this sort of comment keeps me going
Self awareness gang gang!
Hiiii Joo❤️✨
I started journaling in kindergarten before I could write. The teachers would ask us to dictate an answer to a journal prompt and would write what we shared in a composition book. One day I wanted to write my entry myself, and refused to put down my pencil to let the teacher finish my entry. I threw a fit when the teacher took the pencil out of my hand. That, and a love for Harriet the Spy, solidified my love of writing. My early childhood journals are filled with "MY BRUTHER IS STOOPID", "spy notes," and stories I never finished. But then I journaled my way through the isolation of middle school, losing my mother to cancer, realizing I was gay in high school, working my way through college, falling in love for the first time, and figuring out adulthood. I didn't journal consistently again until 2020. I've journaled pretty much every day for the past year. I filled 6 leuchturm notebooks in a year, and through journaling I have become my own best friend. As a kid people would kind of shame me for being that weird quiet kid with a journal, but now I think it's cool. It's a hobby, a passion, something I feel proud of and grateful for
I might just have to join the club y'knowww >.>
COME WE NEED MORE DUDES!
LOL I wonder if your mom is in the other room like what in the world lol. I love your energy!
Hey Jo, I’ve journaled in the past but when I read pages back I find that they are so negative. It’s like when people give restaurant reviews...most people write one when they’ve had a bad experience. Even now whenever I’m having a rough time I wish I was journaling...for the therapeutic aspect, like talking to someone. I’ve been told I’m a little negative by a couple of people around me as well. Do you, or anyone here, have any tips on recording the joys of life, and just seeing the positive. I do have things in my life that I’m truly grateful for and I would love to record it. Thanks in advance.
I think it's a matter of when you habitually reach for it. If you write at least a page a day, you'll capture the variety of emotions you feel, not just the negative moments. I definitely reach for my journal in negative moments, but I also LOVE reaching for my journal when I feel grateful! I love writing while people watching, noticing little moments or writing down jokes that are private or personal. I love writing about goals, dreams, planning out what steps i can take to get there, scripting, manifesting in my journal. For me that falls into the category of spiritual journaling. Maybe give it a try from that perspective? Also, don't judge the negative thoughts/moments you write about. It means you were getting it out of your head. If you write consistently enough, you'll notice the pattern of negative thinking as you write it and be able to use journaling to challenge the thinking and perspective.
I keep trying over the years to start journaling since many say how good it can be. I do believe it brings good things. But I always end up just doing it just around 2-3 days and then forgetting to do it. I can’t seem to get into it . Maybe someday I’ll get more into it 😊
2-3 is greater than 0!
A counterintuitive saying has been really helpful for me: “anything worth doing is worth doing poorly.”
It’s more important that I wipe down my bathroom sink than that I wait until I can deep clean the floorboards, and then when I go to do that there will be less work.
If your desire is a daily habit, start your goal at 3 days a week (which you just did! And you can always do more), and you can add more days as the muscle strengthens.
I have a history of all or nothing thinking,but one day is more than zero, etc.
You got this!
@@carolynnewberger38 Thank you very much !
I realized that my journaling wasn't helpful unless I made it inspirational and less about me venting
Girl, you should write a memoir someday
I didn’t stick to the prompts or journaled every day but I was there from the start and I’m disappointed I didn’t do it but it’s because I was scared to get to know myself the amount that I knew the prompts would do. I was journaling but it took me a while to commit to the prompts
Can you do a video on books you’ve been reading please?
