I'm always scared to start journals. Instagram and youtube have gotten to me, I feel like every page needs to perfect and pretty and insta-worthy and it's driving me crazy. I'm working on accepting less and just have fun, be happy with what I'm doing! I love your style, it's so honest and authentic!
I have the same struggle- getting off of social media is definitely a great place to start xoxo
I think all journal pages are beautiful. The raw emotion in some alone is alluring.
Same...it seems like there's a certain way to do it and that's thay...letting go is my biggest deal
That's my problem. I have watched so many videos that made me feel like my pages needed to look perfect. It paralyzed me. It stressed me out so much that I stopped journaling.😔
I feel exactly the same! I've got a moleskine expanded and a Leuchtturm 1917 and i firstly can't decide which one to start with but also scared of "messing up" 😬 🤦♀️
I absolutely love this! Your journal is so sweet. So raw. So simple. I cannot explain it. I am so tired of all these fancy journal artists. Their work makes me not want to create and play. Yours does. Thank you. I wish I could explain it better but I'm not finding the words.
Susan, you said it perfectly. It's personal, just write, draw, color, cut, paste, whatever you want it's only paper.
You will never know how helpful this journal series has been to me. While I am never aiming to make my journal pages insta worthy, I am such a perfectionist that I sometimes don’t even begin for fear of doing it ‘wrong’ or making a mess. Your rules page is something I am going to copy and commit to memory because it’s exactly what I need to just let loose and go with the flow. Thank you for being brave enough to show your pages. My judgy self didn’t get it at first and I am ashamed at what I was thinking, but at the fourth part of this series I suddenly got it! It’s self-expression and self discovery and doesn’t have to make sense to anyone else! It’s creativeness at it’s best, raw and real. I particularly like the idea of putting a bit of paint down, adding bits and pieces to it later, maybe text or a quote, or scraps, and building a ‘composition’ over time. Takes the pressure off when lacking inspiration in the moment. Thank you so much for this series.
Your openess and honesty is refreshing. It made me realize how uptight I have become about putting my thoughts down on paper. I am going to write down your rules in my journal for inspiration. Thank you Michelle for sharing.
I have a Moleskine hardback daily diary and a Moleskine hardcover expanded, both in the A5 size. I started out the year using them in a very neat and precise way, with one four color pen as my only tool. Then I came across your Moleskine flip through videos and i was in awe. After I watched them all I gave myself permission to wreck my notebooks. I’m not artistic at all but now I feel much less inhibited about slapping washi tape, stickers and stamps randomly on the pages and covers just because the mood strikes me. I plan to purchase personalized Moleskines from the website over Black Friday weekend and I am already looking forward to next year when I will have two or three expanded notebooks to use as my all in one planner, record, diary, journal, scrapbook, whatever. Thank you for setting this part of my brain free. 💜
You’ve inspired me. I had a 3x5 Moleskine planner I stopped using and I started to put gesso on the pages to turn into an art journal and I love it so far. Thank you. Someone on TH-cam taught me to rub a white candle on the pages so that they don’t stick(since I’m using acrylic). I love it. It also softens the page so it feels like the softcover.
This video has helped me get back into journaling without stressing and thinking it has to be absolutely perfect. I felt so overwhelmed and forgot that it was for me...not anyone else. Thank you!!❤
I love your philosophy on art journaling... I journal (words, doodles, quotes, hand lettering,etc) and it’s whatever we want it to be! Great 👍🏽 video! Thank you 🙏 😍
I just admire your philosophy, to journaling. I have many old journal books, notebooks that I have never used, just cuz been afraid of what to write paint and end up ruining them.. thanks again! as I type I am looking for those notebooks and exited to begin! 🖋📓📚
I love your journal!! it was a needed reminder that what you create is only for you. I love it. you're a great inspiration😊.
I can't really tell when and how i journal... i sometimes just document what happened and sometimes i get into deeper topics or even draw or paint something. it really depends. i do whatever i want whenever i want kinda like you do. But when I get a new journal I usually start with writing more to get a feeling for my journal and get more into art later on. I have to get comfortable first haha.
I love your first rule. As a paper crafter and content creator here on TH-cam I think that is so important. Thanks for sharing
I have a few different journals...there's the daily journal/planner, in that one I add what I need to remember, 3 Good Things...writing down lovely memories and sometimes adding photos. A new thing I started was adding quotes to my journal...I was talking to my friend during a drive and she said something that stuck so I popped it into my phone to remember when I got home...then wrote it in my journal.
The other journal is my private one, thoughts, mind mapping out problems, messy, stickers...whatever. Both are really organic and it changes all the time. I love it...its a game changer for me since I only started journalling 2 years ago.
Can you share what your friend said that made an impression on you? Thanks🤗

When I repeated it back to her, she reckons that's not what she said...but thats How I Interpreted it. ;)
@@tspacefullstop4161 Thank you for responding.
This video is so reassuring. I always feel pressured by the "perfect" posts on Instagram, whether or not Im aware of it . I got a Hobonichi Cousin for 2021 and I want it to serve as a journal only but dont want to feel pressured to always post on IG or show people my pages. It can be simple, and it can be just colors on a page. Thank you for this reminder.
It's so good to see you held true to your style.
Hi! I love your channel! I wish I could be as bold and brave using my notebooks as you. I was wondering if you already have a video where you explain your use of tabs? If not, I would love to see a movie on how and or why you use tabs/page markers in your journals 🥰
Thank you for the share and being inspirational about creating something that doesn't have a specific goal. My soul is screaming for this!!!!!
I journal when I’m stressed.
Journaling can be a great way to get some of that built up stress and frustration off our chest, right! 😓💕☺️
Definitely
I also do and it helps a lot 😊
So encouraging! Thank you for your raw flip through. It shows who you are and is lovely . This is so encouraging. God Bless, Jen
Ooh, la la! What is that gorgeous metallic paint @ 12:17? Your pages look lovely.
Thank you! It's from a handmade watercolor palette I received by Little Rainbow Moon on IG. Her colors are beautiful!🤩
Your "create like a child" technique is your best work. Are you familiar with the artist Cy Twombly, he's my favorite artist...he perfected his inner child artist.Thanks for the inspiration!
Love your journal rules ☺️
I have become a pen & gear fanatic over my TN inserts. I actually seem to have a easier time using which is intriguing to why that is. I'm enjoying it as it's cheaper and easier to get my hands on. Journaling and catching daily memories should be fun and joyful. Not how much you spend or how pretty it can be. I really enjoy your channel very much.
May I ask where you purchased or if it's diy I would love a video showing that.
So simple and inspiring! Just what I needed right now. 💜
Hi Michelle- thank you for sharing your journal!! I love your journaling rules, it’s kind of or like a manifesto.
Thank you so much, Laura!☺️💕 Ohh..yes. The rules are like a manifesto, aren't they? Maybe that's what I'll include in the next journal. Thank you for the inspiration!
@@SeaweedKisses Anytime Michelle!! That makes me smile! 😎
Amazing ideas to let go and not worry so much. Just create. I'm going to buy this moleskine expanded regular journal. I already bought the a4 size moleskine watercolor album and it's great. It does get a bit scary breaking it in. So I just went crazy and sketched out this Alice in wonderland, very dark and bold, moody 5 tier birthday cake. And it came out so amazing. I added bones and skulls and greenery. Leaves. The moleskines are fantastic. I just recently purchased SUI gouache. Its pastel colors very inspiring and the color story communicates well to any subject. So much fun to incorporate into my schmincke watercolors. Anyway your videos are really more than inspirational. I love the rules at the beginning of the journal. Great idea.
i absolutley love this!! you can see so much of your personality within it.
Hello
Hi from germany! Love your videos! My journal is messy, full of thoughts I allow myself to dive in. Full of stuff that makes me happy like colourful leaves and pieces of paper. Full of scribbles. It is not that fancy but it is wonderful in my eyes. It calms me during this time. Thank you for sharing yours🙂
Thanks for sharing your journal with us. Making it fun and relaxing is what it's all about.
I just started journaling back in June. I have a bunch of different journals I work on. Three I use daily the others only when I am in the mood. The three I use daily one is for positive quotes and what I am grateful for and such. The other one is actually how I am feeling (I am depressed a lot but I hate keeping stuff bottled up so I do a journal on how I truly feel for the day. I know weird when I do a positive journal too) and the other one is quotes that make you think. I do some art journals too. Trying different ways or art journaling instead of always filling up an entire page I am trying new ways to do my art.
I have three journals. A quote book, an art journal, and a journal in which I just write down ideas, scribble down notes, and doodle. I also have a planner that my school provides every year.
You sent me one of those JOURNALING IS LIFE stickers when I was able to be on Patreon. I love it but it’s on a different journal. Do you remember where you got it? So glad you come to youtube still...I miss being able to get the whole picture on Patreon. Glad to see you are well.
Hi Anji!! Thank you for showing your support, even after Patreon! That sticker I sent was designed by me..hehe!😉 I'll have to rummage around my shelves to see if there are any left. If so, I'll let you know and send you one! Hope you're doing well and staying crafty!💕💕
@@SeaweedKisses Michelle, I will always support you...you amaze me. I went through a stage of watching your old TH-cam vids because I missed your influence....I had to stop working as I have a heart condition....I am indeed well presently, but unable to continue my midwifery and then working in family medicine. I am retired at 56...My craftiness is what gives me the most joy these days besides my grandchildren. The sticker is more true to me now than it was when it originally arrived ....I should have known you created it...straight from that heart of yours...P.O.

I always goes back to journaling i love it!
It's true that we should not worry about likes or make it pressurize us to make insta worthy spreads. Journals are yours and are a reflection of you. So you can do it any way you want. My style is naturally creative meaning whether I show the pages or not on social media I like them to be artsy, and colorful and I do add journal ephemera because it makes me happy. I am actually not doing for anybody else but for myself because I love to journal that way. ❤
I LOVE this 🥰 thank you for sharing.
I love these type of videos from you !!! 🤓🤓🤓
I journal almost everyday i journal about what i did that day and what has happened that day i love to draw im my journal too! Have a nice day and stay safe
What a great way to document your daily life! Thank you so much for sharing!💕
Awesome
Hi Michelle!! Love these videos😃😃😃 Journal rules such a great idea!
I journal my days in am a6 Stalogy. I have an a5 stalogy I use as a collage journal when I'm in the mood.
5:37
How I journal: It´s basically just daily writing. Writing daily is a habit of mine, like brushing teeth, so wether I have something certain to write about or not, I just write. Mostly every morning after getting up, then during the day and, if I´m not too tired, in the evening before sleep. I love to write, it´s thinking but more carefully!
I love your art journal because it always feels so real. I never jive with those washi Instagram journals, though I have tried. My emotion comes out too much in the process
Adoring these
Missing your content! Hope all is well
I love this-- thx for sharing✅
Hii I love your videos
Aww, thank you!! I appreciate you watching!!🥰💕
Great video 🌸🌻🍁🍂💕🌿✨
So cool!
Beautiful well said you got to do you 😍
How do you remember where something specific is later on? The tabs are mainly for the really favorite places and you just get into the habit of flipping back and forth?
Somehow my brain remembers
I love it :) 😊👆🏼🎈
Thank you so much!!💕💕
I just found your channel, is your Patreon on hiatus temporarily? I love your outlook and attitude towards journaling. I'm raw and I'm real, my journal is definitely not insta-safe very often 😂
Hello
2020 has gone so fast, it’s crazy 😳
Great job with the journaling, keep it up 💗
