The 7th prompt made me start crying after realizing how much I've been hiding from others and more importantly myself. Your wholesome and healing videos and energy always lift my spirits, thank you!!
These are such raw and great prompts. What you said about being your true self really hit me. I find myself fabricating a perfect human being thrpugh my journal sometimes. I have a fear that if something happens to me or someone got their hands on it, i want to be portrayed as i want the outside world to think of me. It's stopping me alot. Could you talk more about how to learn to be authentic and honest in your journal? Some thing I DO want to write.. but I hold myself back in fear of someone fining it. Much love!! X
Journaling is my passion! No matter what happens, its me a few pens and that blank paper that, I feel the need to fill with what my heart desires, and what my hand is able to write, as fast as I think! And every time I watch your videos I can relate to everything, and your way of talking inspires me! I'm going to start these prompts today!
I just found you on my recommend and I'm so glad I did! I've been binge watching your videos for the past hour getting inspiration for my own journal I've just started, and I have a few ideas so far; and in a few of your videos I've seen your dog, and I want to say she/he is so beautiful!!
Oh this is GREAT news! Thank you so much for joining us here :) Thank you for the compliments, I'm sure that Nyla is flattered to hear that she is such a superstar in my videos haha
Hey Tina!! I just wanted to tell you that I found your channel a little over a year ago, and in one of your journaling videos you mentioned the collaging technique that you use before actually starting to write in your journal. As someone who loved journaling and writing, but had never completed a journal or kept up with a regular journaling practice, I decided to try it out. I have since finished 3 whole journals and just started my 4th one!!! Nowadays I can’t imagine my life without journaling, and I have you to thank for helping me stick to it! THANK YOU for helping me discover the magic and beauty of regular journaling and writing! Keep doing what you’re doing, because you’re really inspiring and you have helped me a ton. I’m always looking forward to your videos because your positive energy brightens up my day. Thank you and I’m sending lot’s of positive vibes your way! :)
These are so perfect, I can't wait to use them in my journal! Your videos never fail to inspire me, I have been writing so much more lately because of you!
Just found your site and finally found a breadth of depth in journal prompt writing. Thank you. I subscribed and am looking forward to getting to know you and following along. Again thank you.
Whoa....the topic of going to dinner with my truest, most raw self made me go from a judgemental person of myself to wanting to hug "her"/myself for all that I say and think about that's harsh and critical. That literally turned a light on. Wow.....
I love the dinner with yourself prompt. I can not wait to try these out. I've always journaled but need to find ways to get more raw and real outside of my usual rhythm. These are going to be awesome. Much love -Leanne
Hi lovelies! I am SO unbelievably excited to share this video with you. How do you journal for self discovery? Which one of these prompts are you most excited to try out? Let me know down below
Tina, this is amazing. You are amazing. I have never cared much for journaling prompts, but yours are so thought provoking, and they get to ones' core self. I know they will be difficult for me, but what better way for me to discover my true self. Thank you with all my heart for this video. I wrote all the questions down. I shall take a deep breath, let it out and begin with one of them. I cannot praise you enough. I greatly admire you and would love to have just a fraction of your gentle soulfulness. With great fondness, Susan.
Ugh! I REALLY don't want to do this, but I have been encouraged so much to listen to the truth of my insides instead of what I desire to make myself. Fighting with this so much.
Thank you! I needed this! 3 and 8 are my favorites. 3 because it makes me stop and think and 8 because once I clear the negativity away, there really are things to list!
When you talked about the prompt going out for dinner with your raw self, it really hit me that I have no idea who that would be and how she would react. So hopefully I will find out with these prompts! Thanks so much for all your videos, they are so lovely to watch😊
I was literally searching this on Pinterest but then your video popped up. Thank-you so much. I have not watched the full video yet but I know it's going to be amazing.
listening to you is so soothing and calming, it really helps me wind down when my anxiety is acting up. Also every time i watch any of your videos I have a crazy need and want to journal! love your energy and your content!
I loved these prompts! Absolutely LOVED them! For every idea you talked about, I felt excitement. But when you started talking about describing my gut as a person it was as something exploded within! Amazing! Can't wait to start writing and try them all out! Thank you so much for sharing these great prompts!
Tina I always get at least one great thing from your videos. One of my favorite prompts that I use when I am feeling stuck is... What are the first three things that come to my mind that will clear me from this feeling? Amazing results when you go within and listen to yourself.
Yesterday I was looking for prompts like this and wasn't successful. I am so so glad you uploaded this video and I will definitely do these every time I feel like writing in my journal! Thank you so so much, this is going to help a lot!
This is such great timing! As a highschool student I personally loose myself in school work, dance and friendships and I haven't figured out who I truely am so this is most definitely going to help me figure myself out, much love❤❤
Thank you so much for this video Tina! I would like to share with you something I am going through. I have been journalling on and off ever since I was little. I then stopped for a long while but I have started again for the last couple of months and it feels so effing amazing! I'm sure you know the feeling. Now, thing is. I'm out and about minding my own beeswax doing what I'm supposed to be doing during the day and I feel like journalling all day long. I think of something and I think." Oh! I HAVE to write this is my journal" but then I get home and sit with my journal right before I go to bed and word vomit and empty my head. Poof! It's all gone. I can think of not even a single word to write. And when I am actually able to write OMFG my mind is going bonkers. Oh write this, oh write that. I CAN'T WRITE THAT FAST. Nothing to write or too much to write. It'd be awesome if you could help me out. Sorry about the rant.
Oooh I can totally relate to this!! Ok, here are a few options that come to my mind. 1. Can you carry your journal with you throughout the entire day? Sounds like you need to WRITE! If you can't write fast enough, have you tried mind mapping? I think it would work out perfectly for your rapid thoughts!!! 2. If you can't write at work/school, grab yourself one of those adorable mini notebooks and carry it around with you ALL day (or maybe even use the note section in your phone). As the day goes on, take bullet point notes on things that you want to write about and when you get home you will hopefully be inspired!! 3. Maybe the evening is not the best time for you to journal? Have you considered trying to journal in the morning or during your lunch break? I hope this helps
Overall Adventures Many thanks for replying Tina! I guess the most suitable option for me would be to make small bullet points in my phone throughout the day because I really don't like to have more than one journal going on at the same time. Too scattered and unorganized to me. Thanks for your help Tina! I will be back stalking your channel and asking you for help re watching all of my fave videos made by you. All the love. (I added you on snapchat today) ok bye!
Loove the prompts!! I am defiantly going to do, since i am in this stage of self discovery. Acutely yesterday I wrote about in my journal. Your video came in the right time
He tenido una cita conmigo misma, y aunque haya sido escrito, ha sido totalmente real. Y quiero darte las gracias enormemente por lo que estás sacando de mi desde que te descubrí hace 5 dias. Me estás llenando de vitalidad, de positivismo, creatividad y buenas experiencias. En la cita conmigo misma sentí que volaba, me alejaba del suelo. La sensación fue tan fuerte que me paré a respirar y sentí que estaba conectando conmigo misma de una manera que no he conseguido nunca, en la respiración más profunda que he realizado nunca. Mil gracias, un abrazo muy fuerte desde España. Eres genial.
I've been keeping journals for a long time, and you're the first person on TH-cam that actually writes like I DO. ITS AMAZING. I enjoy watching your videos and i get so much happiness from being able to connect with someone like myself. Keep it up! Also... Question. Do you name your journals? Cause I do! --and I think it helps a lot to imagine you're sending all these letters (entries) to a person (angel, or otherwise) and telling them what your thinking and feeling.. because then you have to go more in depth, so that the "person" understands. I recommend this if you struggle to continue to write. (But remember it's just pretend, that you never have to let anyone see your journal!) Much thanks! Stephanie ❤
your videos inspire me so very much. I have wanted to get into journaling for a while and I'm looking forward to getting my journal and using some of these ideas. thank you for putting yourself out on the Internet and using your chanel to inspire others
Thank you for this video (and for all your videos), I've recently been looking for prompts just like this! Another question I like to write in my journal is "the thing I want/need to hear the most right now is..."
If my gut were a person... I really enjoyed that one. It sparked a lot of thought for me. The gut is one of the truest senses we have, and it's compelling to think about it as a tangible being outside of oneself. What would your gut tell you if it were a person sitting right in front of you? The gut knows every single tinge of guilt, pleasure, and disbelief we have ever experienced. What would it say to us? Awesome video Tina! Very thought provoking.
I'm SO glad that one resonated with you! Even though I came up with that prompt, I'm kind of scared of what my gut will say hahaha but that is the point!! So excited for you brave journeyer
Absolutely! I was thinking about making a journaling routine video to help with this. I don't have a strict journaling time, but I like to write for at least 20 minutes a day!
I just discovered your channel and it is so inspirational. I had written journals which I was really into, but for some reason I have kind of lost that inspiration. You gave me so many ideas in this video. Thank you. :)
Hi Tina! I'm glad I stumbled upon your videos now that I am thinking of starting journaling. This video helped me so much in terms of being inspired and having something to write. I hope your future videos will continue to motivate, not only me, but future writers who come across your videos. Thank you! ☺️
*likes video before even watching because I know it'll be great* This is the quality content I subscribed for. I'm LOVING these journalling videos!!! Keep up the wonderful work Tina ♡♡♡♡
excellent prompts, I am sure these will bring out all range of feelings, cant wait (?) to get into it. (note to self, see prompt #1 from this video)eek
And I'm back muahahahaha! I would love to see you talk about bonding with your journal and how it gets stronger as you fill up the journal. It slowly gets filled up with little pieces of you and as you go back after a while it's like a part of you no matter how pointless or embarassing it is. Now that I'm a good chunk into my journal I feel safer around it and it feels fantastic. Another little piece of pointless advice I could use from you: I have around 40 pages left in my journal and I kinda don't like it anymore. Should I wait and finish this one and then move on or should I go out and fetch myself a new one?
question for anyone! So, this year I've finally maintained a journal and while i dont write everyday or every week, its teh first time in my life that i've got a book where Ive actually got 30 or so entries! can you tell Im proud of that? haha. but lately, I find that whenever I do write, its late at night which is when I'm most sad and im noticing that my last 2-3 months worth of entries are honestly just kinda depresssing and sad. anyone else feel this way? im glad im being honest but sometimes im like, is this making it worse when i continue to wallow in my misery? and sometimes im like will my entries ever be happier? It's not like theres only bad stuff in my life, i just feel like the good is never good enough to be written about because its so mediocre. ive just rambled and i honestly dont know what im asking, but if anyones got any thoughts, feel free to share :)
Hi lovely! Just saw your comment :) I totally know what you mean. First off - there's NOTHING wrong with being sad in your journal. Maybe there are a few things that you need to work through. That being said - I totally get the wallowing in your blues thing (I struggle with this too!) and perhaps it would be best to try changing up your journaling routine and write in the morning! Another idea is to incorporate gratitude into your daily pages (list 5-10 things that you are grateful for at the end of each entry). And side note - EVERYTHING and anything is good enough to be in your journal!!! Nothing is too boring or too blue or too mediocre! Check out my video on journaling ideas for when life feels boring :) I hope this helps! th-cam.com/video/JHTyGyZ5_0c/w-d-xo.html
Oh my gosh, this was such a great video. It really hit me emotionally tonight, wow! Thank you, Tina 💜💜💜💜💜💜 Holding even us old journalers accountable 😊 I've been feeling some awareness of an inner censor lately in my writing even though I've been writing more than ever these past few weeks. These are such wonderful tools to break through those inner walls! So happy to be seeing so many videos from you!! 💕💕
You are so inspirational and encouraging! I love your work and really like watching your videos for journaling ideas! Best of luck in the future! -Isa😀
It changed how I think about journaling. Like you said it is not just the place where you show "how your life is exciting", it is the safety place, where you don't play and you don't have any "mask". After yours videos journaling is more effortless. Thank you so much
I love these questions, the have me thinking already. I'll definitely be writing about them in my new leuchtturm1917, which I got after hearing you talk about the brand. Thank you for the prompts and the journal recommendation 🌼
Yea I've been there done that. I had an honest journal. Lost it. Someone found it. Laughed it out loud. Made feel awful even though I was being honest....... 10 years later I look back on that day and regret nothing because a true friend of mine took it away from that guy & told him to respect my thoughts & fuck off ^_^💕
OMG.OMG.OMG I LOVE YOU TINA. YOU SEEM VERY LOVELY, KIND AND AN AMAZING PERSON TO ME. I TRULY LOVE YOU. 💞💞💞 YOUR VIDEOS MADE ME RELIZE LOST OF THING ABOUT MYSELF AND MY LIFE. LOVE YOU. PLEASE IF YOU'LL READ THAT, (probably not) PLEASE UPLOAD MORE VIDEOS, PLEASE. LOVE YOU (again) ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I am so in love with those prompts!!! I am gonna to write about them tomorrow, I really think good things can come up from that! And also, I have a question. I've been journaling for a few years now and I thought I was getting better at the whole 'honesty' thing. However, lately my journals and therapy are bringing a lot of dark stuff and I am hesitant to write about them because there are a few things I don't think I can face. Any tips on how to deal with the emotional part of journaling? And do you think it would be worthy to keep a separated journal for the dark stuff? (I do write negative things in my journal but I don't want it to be so dark I'll hate it at some point, you know?) Again, thank you for the amazing video, Tina 💕💕💕
Hi Eduarda! I totally agree with what puddles217 said down below. I think if your gut is to get a separate journal, I would follow that instinct. I guess it depends on your relationship (or your ideal relationship) with the dark stuff. Do you need it to be separate from the rest of your life? Do you need a special place to focus and reflect on it in its raw & realness & scariness? Another thought is to perhaps write them on sheets of paper or letter form so that you can burn them? I always find that to be sooo cathartic and healing! Lastly, how often do you go back and reread your writing? It might be best to make a pact with yourself to not read what you wrote for at least 6 months or so, unless it is directed as part of therapy
hey!! Thank you both for your responses 💕💕💕 I don't need to reflect about the dark stuff, but the feeling around it is too negative for me. I think I am getting a separate journal, after all (and I also loved the idea of writing letters, I might as well try that) I don't usually go back to read those things but the energy around the journal gets so... Heavy? If that makes sense. And I am too in love with my current journal to abandon it halfway through XD and again... Thank you ♥️
Yes, that TOTALLY makes sense! Please keep me posted and let me know how it goes!!! I totally feel you on not abandoning a journal you love - I'm almost done with this light blue floral one and it is crushing!!! I'm going to miss it sooo very much!
I will keep you updated! And your journal looks gorgeous, I feel you. There are some old journals that I still keep close to me because they are so amazing (and I am super proud of them), and I miss them so much ;-;
Hey Tina, as a male I feel that I am sort of one of few in this community. Sometimes i have trouble relating myself and my journal to others to find inspiration wo write because I'm not a girl. I was just wondering if you had really any advice for the guys about journaling.
Hey Evan! Thank you SO much for this comment, I sincerely appreciate your perspective and I want to make sure that you feel welcome/included here as much as possible. I wish more guys were into journaling! I will ask one of my guy friends about it and see what his perspective is - do you know Clark Danger on youtube? he does a lot of journaling videos that are targeted towards men. That being said, do you have any specific journal questions for guys? I want to do some research for you and make sure that I can answer your question!
It's just like writing on your journal and you're practicing to love yourself more... I love my journal and so is you miss tina! 💙💚💛 by the way if you don't mind? What's your birthday Ms. Tina
The 7th prompt made me start crying after realizing how much I've been hiding from others and more importantly myself. Your wholesome and healing videos and energy always lift my spirits, thank you!!
These are such raw and great prompts. What you said about being your true self really hit me. I find myself fabricating a perfect human being thrpugh my journal sometimes.

Awww, Justine, I am so beyond happy to read this
I love the dinner with yourself prompt. I can not wait to try these out. I've always journaled but need to find ways to get more raw and real outside of my usual rhythm. These are going to be awesome. Much love -Leanne
Hi Leanne! I'm so glad that the dinner prompt resonated with you - please let me know what you discover from it :) :) :)
i wish so much that we all had the power to be true and raw and honest with each other. life would be so easy
Right?! I couldn't agree more. One day, one moment at a time.
Hi lovelies! I am SO unbelievably excited to share this video with you. How do you journal for self discovery? Which one of these prompts are you most excited to try out? Let me know down below
Tina, this is amazing. You are amazing. I have never cared much for journaling prompts, but yours are so thought provoking, and they get to ones' core self.

I forgot to thank you for creating this video that many of us asked for.
Hi Susan
Ugh! I REALLY don't want to do this, but I have been encouraged so much to listen to the truth of my insides instead of what I desire to make myself. Fighting with this so much.
Tina, you are so real! I have been obsessed with your videos on journaling. I love your personality! Lots of love.
Thank you! I needed this! 3 and 8 are my favorites. 3 because it makes me stop and think and 8 because once I clear the negativity away, there really are things to list!
you are awsome Tina i'd love to see the rest of your journaling colletion
Thank you lovely!!! I'm working on it :) :) :)
The best journaling Prompts, seriously. Thank you for your videos
Thank you lovely
I love all of these journaling videos that you've been putting out!!
Ahh YES! I am soooo glad to hear this! I'm having a blast making them!
I did the first prompt yesterday and it got me thinking about how much of a wall I have put up. I loved it and cannot wait to do the next one tomorrow
When you talked about the prompt going out for dinner with your raw self, it really hit me that I have no idea who that would be and how she would react. So hopefully I will find out with these prompts! Thanks so much for all your videos, they are so lovely to watch😊
Thank you for sharing this with me

You have so many great tips! Don't stop!!
I love your journaling videos! I have about 30 empty journals and these videos have definitely helped me find ways to fill them. :)
I'm so glad!!! I'm actually working on a new video on how to fill empty notebooks (because I also have quite a collection haha)
This is the best journaling video I've seen. Thank you for making this and for reminding me to get to know my raw, authentic self without judgement
It makes me so happy that you have been uploading so much lately! Amazing video as always :)
Thank you!!! I'm kind of on a creative roll lately :)
Your journaling videos are my absolute favorites..

Thank you for this video (and for all your videos), I've recently been looking for prompts just like this!
Another question I like to write in my journal is "the thing I want/need to hear the most right now is..."
Hi Taryn! Thank you for the kind words
i get so stoked when i see one of your videos pop up in my subscriptions... as usual, love this. 💛💛💛
Awww, thank you for your support lovely

Every time I see you've posted a video I get so exited lol
Love you and your videos so freaking much
Thank you lovely
Awe thanks friend
Wow these are life changing prompts thank you so much
I love the feeling of your videos. So nice, i love your videos💖
Oh, thank you lovely
This seems so tough for me but I will definitely try to use these prompts in my journal!
Could u tell me or make a video about how much should u journal. Like how much time should we spend journaling a day. Thanks!!!
Absolutely! I was thinking about making a journaling routine video to help with this. I don't have a strict journaling time, but I like to write for at least 20 minutes a day!
Overall Adventures thank you!!!!!
@@OverallAdventures whoa that's how you fill like 4 pages.
Dear Tina, this one is my favorite one among your other amazing and inspiring videos. I’m so happy that I discovered you on TH-cam. Thank you!
Thank you...always,truly.
thank YOU for your constant support
I just discovered your channel and it is so inspirational. I had written journals which I was really into, but for some reason I have kind of lost that inspiration. You gave me so many ideas in this video. Thank you. :)
This was so incredible, thank you for these prompts they are super helpful, I will definitely try them out!
Hi Tina! I'm glad I stumbled upon your videos now that I am thinking of starting journaling. This video helped me so much in terms of being inspired and having something to write. I hope your future videos will continue to motivate, not only me, but future writers who come across your videos. Thank you! ☺️
Such a great video thank you for all the advice!! Can you maybe do a video on how to get back into journaling? Love you 😘 ❤️
Oooh I like this! Do you mean after a creative rut?
Overall Adventures yes please that would be amazing wow that's even better then my idea 💡😂😘❤️
*likes video before even watching because I know it'll be great*
This is the quality content I subscribed for. I'm LOVING these journalling videos!!!
Keep up the wonderful work Tina ♡♡♡♡
ohh thank you so much!!!
These are great prompts! Thank you!
excellent prompts, I am sure these will bring out all range of feelings, cant wait (?) to get into it. (note to self, see prompt #1 from this video)eek
I don't know if you've ever heard of the journal brand: Greenroom? They are awesome recycled journals that you can buy at Target. I love them!
YES!!! I actually just found one at Marshalls and I'm totally in love. This one is a little big for my liking, but I will check Target!! Thank you :)
Overall Adventures - You're welcome! 😁
Thank you for these ideas I'll definitely be using some of this prompts 😄
Thanks for the comment! Let me know how they work for you :)
And I'm back muahahahaha! I would love to see you talk about bonding with your journal and how it gets stronger as you fill up the journal. It slowly gets filled up with little pieces of you and as you go back after a while it's like a part of you no matter how pointless or embarassing it is. Now that I'm a good chunk into my journal I feel safer around it and it feels fantastic. Another little piece of pointless advice I could use from you: I have around 40 pages left in my journal and I kinda don't like it anymore. Should I wait and finish this one and then move on or should I go out and fetch myself a new one?
Already love and its been 30 seconds!!!!
Thank you, thank you friend!
Love your work your so helpful thank you
These are amazing. Thank you!!
Thank you Carlie
question for anyone! So, this year I've finally maintained a journal and while i dont write everyday or every week, its teh first time in my life that i've got a book where Ive actually got 30 or so entries! can you tell Im proud of that? haha. but lately, I find that whenever I do write, its late at night which is when I'm most sad and im noticing that my last 2-3 months worth of entries are honestly just kinda depresssing and sad. anyone else feel this way? im glad im being honest but sometimes im like, is this making it worse when i continue to wallow in my misery? and sometimes im like will my entries ever be happier? It's not like theres only bad stuff in my life, i just feel like the good is never good enough to be written about because its so mediocre. ive just rambled and i honestly dont know what im asking, but if anyones got any thoughts, feel free to share :)
Hi lovely! Just saw your comment :) I totally know what you mean. First off - there's NOTHING wrong with being sad in your journal. Maybe there are a few things that you need to work through. That being said - I totally get the wallowing in your blues thing (I struggle with this too!) and perhaps it would be best to try changing up your journaling routine and write in the morning! Another idea is to incorporate gratitude into your daily pages (list 5-10 things that you are grateful for at the end of each entry). And side note - EVERYTHING and anything is good enough to be in your journal!!! Nothing is too boring or too blue or too mediocre! Check out my video on journaling ideas for when life feels boring :) I hope this helps! th-cam.com/video/JHTyGyZ5_0c/w-d-xo.html
41 seconds early! Yay! Love this channel!
Aww thank you lovely
Yay new video !❤
Oh my gosh, this was such a great video. It really hit me emotionally tonight, wow! Thank you, Tina 💜💜💜💜💜💜 Holding even us old journalers accountable 😊 I've been feeling some awareness of an inner censor lately in my writing even though I've been writing more than ever these past few weeks. These are such wonderful tools to break through those inner walls! So happy to be seeing so many videos from you!! 💕💕
Ahhh thank you Jess
I know you aren't supposed to but I did this on one sitting, it was very, very fun!
You are so inspirational and encouraging! I love your work and really like watching your videos for journaling ideas! Best of luck in the future! -Isa😀
I really love yours videos
Thank you lovely! Let me know how it goes for you :)
It changed how I think about journaling. Like you said it is not just the place where you show "how your life is exciting", it is the safety place, where you don't play and you don't have any "mask". After yours videos journaling is more effortless. Thank you so much
This is SOOOO great to hear!!! Ah, literally everything that I hope for and more for my videos. Thank you, thank you
Absolute natural beauty .
I love these questions, the have me thinking already. I'll definitely be writing about them in my new leuchtturm1917, which I got after hearing you talk about the brand. Thank you for the prompts and the journal recommendation 🌼
Oh great news!!! Let me know how it goes for you :)
Your eyes are so pretty ✨
Thank you :)
Tina!!! You beautiful soul! I would love for you to do some of your favourite vegan recipes ❤️🌺🦋 much love from Canada 🇨🇦
lovee it!
thank you :) :) :)
Yea I've been there done that. I had an honest journal. Lost it. Someone found it. Laughed it out loud. Made feel awful even though I was being honest....... 10 years later I look back on that day and regret nothing because a true friend of mine took it away from that guy & told him to respect my thoughts & fuck off ^_^💕
How much time do you spend journalling on average per day?
Anywhere between 20min-1 hr depending on my mood :)
OMG.OMG.OMG I LOVE YOU TINA. YOU SEEM VERY LOVELY, KIND AND AN AMAZING PERSON TO ME. I TRULY LOVE YOU. 💞💞💞 YOUR VIDEOS MADE ME RELIZE LOST OF THING ABOUT MYSELF AND MY LIFE. LOVE YOU. PLEASE IF YOU'LL READ THAT, (probably not) PLEASE UPLOAD MORE VIDEOS, PLEASE. LOVE YOU (again) ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Your dog is so cute 😣😭💖
So are these prompts to be done daily?
I am so in love with those prompts!!! I am gonna to write about them tomorrow, I really think good things can come up from that!
And also, I have a question. I've been journaling for a few years now and I thought I was getting better at the whole 'honesty' thing. However, lately my journals and therapy are bringing a lot of dark stuff and I am hesitant to write about them because there are a few things I don't think I can face. Any tips on how to deal with the emotional part of journaling?
And do you think it would be worthy to keep a separated journal for the dark stuff? (I do write negative things in my journal but I don't want it to be so dark I'll hate it at some point, you know?)
Again, thank you for the amazing video, Tina 💕💕💕
Hi Eduarda! I totally agree with what puddles217 said down below. I think if your gut is to get a separate journal, I would follow that instinct. I guess it depends on your relationship (or your ideal relationship) with the dark stuff. Do you need it to be separate from the rest of your life? Do you need a special place to focus and reflect on it in its raw & realness & scariness? Another thought is to perhaps write them on sheets of paper or letter form so that you can burn them? I always find that to be sooo cathartic and healing! Lastly, how often do you go back and reread your writing? It might be best to make a pact with yourself to not read what you wrote for at least 6 months or so, unless it is directed as part of therapy
hey!! Thank you both for your responses 💕💕💕 I don't need to reflect about the dark stuff, but the feeling around it is too negative for me. I think I am getting a separate journal, after all (and I also loved the idea of writing letters, I might as well try that) I don't usually go back to read those things but the energy around the journal gets so... Heavy? If that makes sense. And I am too in love with my current journal to abandon it halfway through XD and again... Thank you ♥️
Yes, that TOTALLY makes sense! Please keep me posted and let me know how it goes!!! I totally feel you on not abandoning a journal you love - I'm almost done with this light blue floral one and it is crushing!!! I'm going to miss it sooo very much!
I will keep you updated! And your journal looks gorgeous, I feel you. There are some old journals that I still keep close to me because they are so amazing (and I am super proud of them), and I miss them so much ;-;
Hey Tina, as a male I feel that I am sort of one of few in this community. Sometimes i have trouble relating myself and my journal to others to find inspiration wo write because I'm not a girl. I was just wondering if you had really any advice for the guys about journaling.
Hey Evan! Thank you SO much for this comment, I sincerely appreciate your perspective and I want to make sure that you feel welcome/included here as much as possible. I wish more guys were into journaling! I will ask one of my guy friends about it and see what his perspective is - do you know Clark Danger on youtube? he does a lot of journaling videos that are targeted towards men. That being said, do you have any specific journal questions for guys? I want to do some research for you and make sure that I can answer your question!
It's just like writing on your journal and you're practicing to love yourself more... I love my journal and so is you miss tina! 💙💚💛 by the way if you don't mind? What's your birthday Ms. Tina
Tina I hope to meet a woman as articulate, naturally beautiful and genuine as you someday.
So what i do is that i have this charcter how she is so her so i write about her i draw her she is how i want to be😊
The way she says the ellipsis (ellipsis means . . . )
