  • Are you feeling stuck with the same old 'Dear Diary' entries in your journal? Or perhaps you're new to (daily) journaling and wondering what to write about in your journal each day? I may be able to help…
    In this video, I share the mindset shift that transformed my journaling from monotonous day-to-day summaries to a rich and creative exploration of my life.
    I also share an array of creative journal prompts and show examples from my own journals which will hopefully help you to transform your journaling practice into a more fun and engaging experience.
    Please comment below your favorite prompt or any new journaling ideas you're inspired to try.
    Happy Journaling!

    i hope you know that THIS IS AMAZING. it is SO HELPFUL! i’ve been journaling for years but you literally inspired me.
    sometimes i think the word inspire doesn’t capture what i mean but i mean i literally want to get out of bed and do each of these right now. maybe i need to say you inspired me times ten!
    thankyou for posting this 🙏🙏

    What i great concept, that we only journal the plot and should journal about everything else… maybe thats what is missing from my journaling… thanks ✨

    I have been feeling like my journaling is boring so this came at such a perfect time!!! These are such great ideas and such a great way to think about writing our stories. When you said imagine your life is a novel, I thought about how my favorite authors write and embodying that romantic poetic style too. I really love this!! Thank you ❤and I always love seeing your journals!! I would love flip throughs with you telling us what inks you used 🤓🫶🏻

    Thank you so much!! I was reflecting on my week’s journaling just yesterday that here we go again, I was starting the sentence with We went or We did again and again. This is perfect timing for me. Great ideas 😊😊
