You make THE BEST videos!
As someone who's done gratitude journalling for years, your idea to jot down things you're grateful for IN THE FUTURE is *inspired*. Completely blew my mind
It doesn't matter whether my life is feeling good, or less than good, I know it's always going to be that bit better when I see there's a new video from Simie Iriarte. Yes, you may quote me on that, LOL!
The great thing about journals is they remind you of what you've forgotten. The bad thing about journals is they remind you of what you've forgotten. 😂 Wonder why the study for the women stopped at 46?
I've been doing a combination of these since the start of 2024 and this is probably been the most consistent I've been journaling in such a long time. For the month of March, I decided against a weekly spread and just went with a formatted rapid log. I track my wake up and bed time, what my workout is, and then 3 wins. I list a Physical win, a mental win, and a spiritual win. I like it because it teaches me to reflect on my day in different ways.
on the topic of "venting into the journal and not wanting to see this again in the future". you suggested using stickers.
I used to do this, but coming back to it a few years later, my brain still knew exactly what was going on there lol. This now keeps me from touching my old journals, despite them having some good memories in them. But they also contain so much triggering content.
so what I do now is: I got some very cheap, not precious little journals (like sort of in the style of travelers company inserts, only in a5 and dirtcheap). And I outsourced the ranting there.
right after emptying my brain, I do a gratitude entry in the other journal (I keep one for mental health exercises). The strategy I do there is to write 10 things i am grateful for.
after a few times doing the gratitude exercise the "easy"/obvious stuff was already written and you begin to look for less obvious things in life.
thats just my 10 cents to add on your already rocking video. you are helping me with your content around goalsetting so much rn.
My bullet journal is just turning into a daily to do list
Mine has been like that for a minute. I'm working on changing that by doing a shorthand recap of the day. Then I'm going to try to expand later.
The landfill analogy really hits me. That’s exactly what morning pages turned into for me. All negative. That’s why I stopped for so long.
You ARE really good at making videos ! In fact you’re excellent at it!
I can already tell this is going to be one of those videos I keep coming back to, not just because the content is excellent and valuable, but because your genuine enthusiasm is absolutely inspiring!
I had been dealing with depression since last year and I have been getting better since then. Casually, and with the goal to try to control my own productivity to feel better, I found your explanation about the bujo method and how it didn't need to be extremly complicated or that I could try something inside it for three months and then just drop it if it didn't feel right. It didn't exactly help-help, but when I look back to the pages of the months I wasn't okay and compare them to where I am, I actually feel that I am getting better. I find myself always remembering you going up to your stairs to write down something in your bujo when I procrastine in mine because I feel blank and I end up writing 'do cleaning'. Little by little.
I thank you for making videos about this topics, and I will try the last method! Thank you for your hardwork!
Simie gosh dang man the countdown trick on the monthly timeline may have changed my life. I noticed I’d gotten significantly weaker from moving to a desk-job dominant project for a couple quarters. Used this to get 12 arm workouts done in April and I feel like I’m getting my strength back so quickly! This one is a freakin keeper
I am SO happy to have found your channel! I've seen a few of your videos now and will probably go back and binge some older ones. I love how you present material that, as you said, isn't anything new - but how it can be made new for the person who is just getting into the habit of journaling. I also really enjoy the nuggets of comedy you throw in as well, especially the excited mustache character lol. Thank you so much for what you do! I'm saving this video to come back to and take notes.
Thank you. I tried a page a day. Too much. Then I tried filling the monthly square for each day with a fee thought's. I guess this is rapid logging, and two weeks in, it's working for me. Thanks!
i love the tiny hands 😂😂 and i love your silly funny humor! if that's childish then me, as a 28 years old kid, say that it's a good thing 😁👍
kisses from Brazil!
Literally you talked about people saying prompts come at the right time; this video came at the right time. I love putting my life into my bullet journal and all the wins, struggles, and highlights. I am creating my own epic poem. Before too long, I'm going to have to transfer to a new journal to finish out the year.
your videos make me happy
I think I've had to rewatch the part about rapid logging at least 5 times bcuz I kept looking at THOSE DISTURBING AS* PLASTIC HANDS trying to figure out if they were real. (I ended up listening to it with my eyes closed). Other then that great vid 🙂👍.
This comment literally had me laughing out loud for a while. I'm sorry but not sorry 😂 I'm still laughing. I will maybe tone it down idk it's just too much fun.
Absolutely LOVE your videos! …and your stickers!!
I couldn't say enough how much I love your videos, not only info you provide clear but these details like mini-hands, mustaches, and sketches are a blast
The journalception got me real good
You are a great teacher
YES!! New Simie vid let's goooo!
I enjoy to watch your videos😊
I love starting my day watching one of your videos. You are so “real”, and I appreciate that in you. :) You are so encouraging as well, like the life coach you speak of.
The planning, the creativity and coolness of this video!! Wow subscribed
First like and comment! Thank you for this, needing a little nudge to start on my journal
Thanks, Simie. I can't tell you how much I agree with you, journaling has been life changing of me. I have SOS (shiny object syndrome) and have a hard time focusing and being organized. I was also diagnosed with dyslexia as a child and always had a hard time writing/reading. Anyway, I never thought I would be journaling. I've been doing Morning Pages for almost a year now (on day 355), and I can't believe how much it's helped me create better habits, build confidence, and find more clarity around my goals. Your videos are so well thought out, love the graphics/characters and the way you keep it engaging. Be well, my friend.
wow this is EPIC! so happy for you.
I really enjoy your videos! Keep it up.
You are so smart🌸
Huh, first time hearing about the concept of future gratitude/excitement journaling. Love it. Going to start!
So good Simie. Love this!
TY TY TY!! I'm a chronic planner/journal/workbook quitter I really think some of these ideas will help me 😊
Love your very well-produced video! Great content!
I always have the good intention of journaling everyday but have never done more than 3 or 4 days in a row -- a lot of starts and stops.
Your video has motivated me to start again and hopefully, daily journaling will become a habit. Thank you!
Morning pages never worked for me, cause when I just wake up all I can think is « I am so tired and I wish I could sleep more ». So instead I just make myself write a few sentences with the time I wake up (I’m an insomniac). As for journaling properly, the one that works the best for me : I jot bullet points right before bed and try to go through my day in my head. Journaling, memory keeping and also a memory exercise 😂. Also bullet points keep me from trying to write « pretty », nothing wrong with that but not in a journaling for mental health setting
this is such a great video. thank you!!!
Love your videos, it definitely help me transform my journal from a never ending to do list into a beautiful tool for my mental health, keep making videos and I'm here for it.
You have helped me so much. You should consider writing a book or creating a class 😊 I haven’t signed up for your newsletter yet but I will once I grab this cheat sheet lol.
Thanks Vanessa! Btw I think I saw another comment of yours on here that just about brought me to tears. I can't seem to find it again, but I just want to let you know I really appreciate you reaching out to support and sharing your super kind words. Even comments like this one are extra reassuring. Now go get that cheat sheet lol.
Best journaling info ever! You’ve changed the process for me. 🙏🙏🙏
Super helpful video. The sweet spot around time spend on long form journaling and reps versus time spent is the thing I am going to work on. Love that there is a cheat sheet, as I was thinking while watching that I would need to watching more than once as there is so much in it! I find your approach to journaling really speaks to me - I can see how I can use it in my own practice. Thanks! :)
I know what you mean by a landfill being in a journal. My goal is to journal in such a way that I will find it meaningful years later. I reflect on strong feelings to process them. However my journal is more than processing strong emotion. My newest focus is using the broaden and build entries. Aka positive psychology..
The content is always amazing! I especially love the silly stuff. Keeps me plugged in.
Simie! this is really gonna help me. My journaling habit has grown exponentially within the last couple of months. But it's been all brain dumping.. yes, some gratitude..but A LOT of negative venting!! These methods you introduced are really going to help me with my gratitude and logging down memories. My favorite is the rapid logging! I've never tried anything like it so I'm excited to see how it changes things for me!
wahoo!!! exponentially 🌈 exciting!
your videos are always so helpful and beautifully edited how are you not more known you def desereve it
Love the fingers! Thanks for sharing.
Excellent class

What a great video, thanks
Less than ten seconds in and I’ve already been called out lol
"DO WHAT YOU WANT. SILLY AS DUCK." this is now my life motto
DAAm, this was good!
love your videos and your bujo workflow. i`m curious about the digital tools that you're using in your day by day. can you tell us?
Would you please elaborate more on 9:29 "The game changer" - "your brain literally does not know the difference between past present and future thoughts..." Can you share where you read/heard this? I have found it to be a most interesting topic. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and being willing to make these videos!
Love your content and your recommendations are spot on and as a life long journaler. I want to do the ink blot. Where do I find that it’s I “get dark”.
I will try this numbers-methode for my spanish lessons.
I really HATE learning vocabulary and grammar... but once I got the daily cards down to
Valuable content, fun presentation! My only quibble is I find it difficult to concentrate on spoken words with constant background music. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Simie where can I find the prompts that were used in the study mentioned at 11:11? I can't find it in the description. Thanks for the video! I love your channel so much!
❤❤❤❤
wow this video looks soooooo time consuming to make.l
also, what an honor to be your friend in real life.
also also, your plants are very thirsty!!
and lastly, i'm *greatful* to have made it on this video------
(9:22) "mail ayuri's gift"
Hi everyone, thats me :)
lmaoooo I literally just watered my plants yesterday. That one behind me is sitting in water and needs to be planted in some soil lol. Also i can't believe you made it to 9:22 😂
5:30 It's very eye opening...
I feel like there is a lot of book references here, im so interested in everything you said pls lemme know if you have any book recommendations
“A wrist of random things “ lol
i keep coming back to this video bc i'm working on incorporating this stuff into my own bujo and daily life :') i'm slowly but surely getting there! tho i do have a question abt the gratitude journalling: you try not to repeat things from day to day, but what are your thoughts abt repeating things monthly? what if i, every month, am grateful for the same thing like economic stability bc that's what i really want and need? should i/could i repeat myself monthly? is it up to my own discretion? just wanted to hear your thoughts abt this 👀
also this meme @ 17:33 in sticker form was amazing. loved it!
HI! Ok I am going to guess that your tag was formerly vietspringroll? I recognize your pic. Anyway. Girl, do what you want with that gratitude. I do repeat things from time to time. Like if i'm blown away by the sunrise and I stare at it like 🤩 I will repeat that lol. If it's something that just really make you :)))))) than repeat! you make the rulez.
also THANK YOU for acknowledging that meme 😂. that was literally my fav part so this made my day haha. also also, this months bujo stickers are like 85% the ones you sent me 🧡 (really hope this is who i think it is lmao)
yes it's me! so glad you recognized me despite the name change omg i managed to change it back now lmao 😭 thank you for the input! i was thinking abt doing just that but it's nice to get some validation for my choices as well haha 🙈
i understand why it was! i think it was one of my fave parts of the video as well haha. aaah that makes me so happy to hear! i'm so glad that you like them, i wasn't sure if they would be your style or not but thank you for giving them a nice home in your bujo 🥺💛
😍🤩🔥
16:05 just God level acting... 🎉❤
you are too kind 😂
Denial: Not me. Not me.
Truth: yeah you know what you did.
Lol
