your pocket guide to making journaling approachable.

I started taking journaling seriously at the start of this year. Though I’ve been a journaler all my life: In grade school, I kept stacks of spiral notebooks where I would document every single day of my life. As I got older, journaling took on a unique form of letter writing to my inner self. I’ve experimented with forms of bullet journaling, commonplace notebook keeping, morning pages, and everything in between. Now, journaling is no longer a mindless practice or something I do to pass time. It’s an anchor, a transformative practice that is absolutely essential to my daily slow living routine. From the years of figuring out how to get to this point, here’s a pocket guide to get started. If you’re unsure where to begin, how to maintain momentum, or find purpose in your journaling practices, this might help make things feel more approachable.
