I have gotten so many cute journals over the years and have never known what to do with them. A new journal has clean, crisp new pages that have so much potential. I have always felt that I needed to dedicate a journal to a single purpose. My most recent journal is for quotes that I liked on Pinterest. Journaling doesn’t have to just be documenting what happened that day at lunch. There are so many new perspective to take on!
1. A dream journal
Dreams are fascinating. They can be funny, weird, or scary and you can never predict what you will dream about. After you wake up, most likely you will soon forget your dream. If you had a dream that you don’t want to forget, write it down in a journal and keep it near your bed!
2. A food/workout journal log
A food/workout journal can help you keep track of what you ate, and how it made you feel so that when you really want that dessert you may think twice. As for working out, if you log what you did during your workout and how you felt after, you may be more likely to workout again. Also, this is a great way to track your progress!
3. A journal for your feelings
Okay this one might sound kind of childish, but how many times have you just had to rant to someone? This is a nice way to get some anger out without saying hurtful things to people that you don’t mean. By the time you get to the end of the page hopefully it makes you feel better.
4. A bullet journal
I have yet to try this one personally, but I have seen a lot of pictures and videos of other people’s. This is a fun way to organize your thoughts. You can customize your journal to suit your needs. If you want to track what books you have read, just dedicate a page to that. The possibilities are endless. You can’t mess up! If you make a mistake anywhere in the book, just cover it with some cute washi tape and BAM! It looks cute.
5. A journal for your favorite quotes
I just started a journal for my favorite quotes off Pinterest. I tried to pick a quote that I like every week and look at it whenever I need a little pick me up. I try to have a positive outlook on life, and I have found that my journal helps me.
Journaling can be fun, even if you are not a writer! There are many different ways to approach it. All it takes is some creativity, a pen and a cute notebook! Good Luck!
