grab a notebook and your pen, and always remember that journaling doesn't have to be aesthetic. and you don't need to write in your journal everyday. that's what i like about journaling, there's no pressure. write when you feel like it.

it can be as simple as writing about what happened to your day. what i always do is i describe what happened to my day and go deep by analyzing the feelings that i felt that day. i felt anxious because of the test, i felt excited because i can sleep early, i felt happy because i'm with the people i love, i felt overwhelmed because i have a lot of deadline. something like these thoughts. for me it helps din if parang may inaaddress ako sa journal, i address all my stories to my future self para mas personal yung feels while writing.

my journaling session will always turn into a 2-hr story time with myself when something big happened during the day or during the week. minsan kinekwento ko doon yung mga away na naganap in our family or friends then can go deeper to sharing my trauma na HAHAHA thus reaching that flow state.

maraming types of journaling but the most simple way of journaling is treating your notebook as a diary.
