I journal to release the constant, running thoughts in my brain onto the paper.
I journal to rewrite my own story.
I journal to catch myself speaking unkindly to me.
I journal to create, to heal, to grow.
I journal to slow the fuck down.
I journal for me - to mother myself + unlearn my past conditioning.
I journal for my marriage - because it’s cheaper than therapy 🤪.
I journal as future me - she is bold, peaceful, kind, giving, creative, proud, and a badass boss bitch.
These pages are a place for me to be unapologetically me.

Need some more inspiration for your journaling journey? Here are some of my favorites:
+ @the.holistic.psychologist - Dr. Nicole is the creator of the [FREE!] Future-Self Journal which allows for space to observe and change behaviors, thought patterns, and reactions so you become more aligned with your… you got it, future self!
+ @inspiredtowrite - Every time Amie posts, I am reminded that I am worthy of making art, deserving of rest, and that mothering myself on the pages is the key to healing. Her Compendium [$19.99] is a great tool if you aren’t sure what to write about in your journal. She offers 31 prompts to get you started!
+ @fiveminutejournal - This is how my journaling journey began! With the 5-minute gratitude journal [$24.95]. Each morning, you briefly share 3 things you’re grateful for, what would make today great, and your daily affirmation(s); each evening - 3 things that were amazing in the day and ways in which today could have been better. This is great for starting out because you’re given a simple guide to follow and it takes just 5 minutes each day!
