Starting a Creative Writing JournalOn this page, you'll find ideas for keeping a creative writing journal, including different journal formats and activities . You can also browse our journaling prompts and get inspired by these writer's journal examples . If you write fiction, drama, or poetry, a journal can build your writing muscles and generate ideas. It can be a laboratory, where you experiment with different approaches. It can be a source of details to add texture and crispness to your writing. And whenever you get stuck or feel uninspired, you'll be able to go to your creative writing journal for fresh material. Journal formatTo keep a journal, all you really need is something to write with, and something to write on. The specifics depend on your preferences and imagination. You might find the ideas flow better when you write with a fountain pen, or a pencil like the ones you used in school, or when you type on a computer. You might feel inspired by a special notebook; you might enjoy the physical space of a large sketchpad, or you might better off with a small notepad you can carry in your pocket. Your journal might end up being a three-ring binder or a shoe box full of index cards. Try different options and see what works best for you. Here are some factors to consider. • Are you inspired by pretty notebooks? Some people enjoy journaling more when the journal's pretty. For a while, those Moleskine notebooks were all the rage. Personally, when someone gives me a pretty notebook, I feel like anything I write is just polluting it; I feel like a vandal if I so much as write my name. To me, pretty journals always look prettier when they are empty. Since this is such an easy effect to achieve, all of the blank books I've been given over the years have stayed blank. But there are many people who are not scared but inspired by those creamy pages, those elegant covers. You probably know which type of person you are. • Bound or loose? In a bound journal, the pages are preserved as you write them. With a loose-leaf journal, an index card journal, or any other type where the pages are not attached, you have more flexibility. You can remove parts of the journal to read them; you can rearrange or add pages as you like. On the other hand, there is the risk of the journal becoming disorganized and parts of it being lost. And for some journalers, keeping a permanent record is part of the point. • Digital or longhand? If you write on a computer, not only are you free to rearrange parts of your journal, you can also revise everything you write. This may actually be a disadvantage if you get caught up in editing instead of writing. You can lose the free flow of putting thoughts on paper, and you can also end up censoring yourself, editing your journal down to nothing. Writing on a computer, some people also miss the physical act of shaping the words with their hands. They feel the words in a different way when they are moving a pen or pencil over a page.  How often to journal?Some writers journal every day, but that isn't a requirement. You can decide to journal at a specific time every day—for example, first thing in the morning or before you go to bed. Or, you can use journaling into a warm-up activity to focus your mind before you write fiction or poetry. There's no one right approach. Your creative writing journal's just for you—it's impossible to get it wrong! What to write about?You can use your journal as a general record of your daily life. Or you might prefer to focus on a certain topic such as your garden or your reading or current events. You can write about your experiences, your thoughts, your memories. You can use it to collect material to use in fiction writing and poems. Some people keep notebooks next to their beds and write down their dreams. There's no right or wrong way to keep a journal. The journal is for you, so you get to set the rules. Experiment, try different approaches, different kind of subject matter. If you don't know what to write about, take a walk and make notes on what you observe around you: the buildings and people or the plants and birds, the weather, the look of the sky, the look of the ground (grass? wildflowers? pavement? dirt/pebbles? what color?), the sounds (cars? birds? wind? your own breath?), the smells (cut grass? car exhaust? sweat? wood smoke?), the shards and scraps that collect in the gutters. In every scene, there are an infinite number of details to notice if you pay close enough attention. Another way to generate ideas: take a general theme -- let's say, Fear. Then spend five minutes breaking that theme into subcategories; for example: • Things that scare me • Things I do when I'm afraid • Techniques for overcoming fear, etc. If you want, you can break some of those into even smaller categories. For example, "Things that scare me" could be subdivided further: • Scary movies • My nightmares • Irrational fears and superstitions • Fear of failure • People I'm afraid of, etc. Each item in your list is a topic that you can write about in your journal. With this system, in less than an hour, you can come up with enough writing topics for a whole year of journaling. You can also use these journaling prompts . Journal activitiesHere are some more ideas for your creative writing journal: 1) People-watch. The people around you can become fictional characters or the subjects of poems. You can give them roles in your writing, or just borrow details: your neighbor's nervous laugh, the shiny makeup that makes your mother's friend look like she's made out of plastic... Make notes about people you know; take your creative writing journal to a coffee house or a hotel lobby and describe them: their appearance, their body language, their voices, the way they relate to each other. You can go beyond mere reporting and write what you imagine as well. What do you think that woman's name might be? Where do you think she lives? Is she having an affair with that man, or are they just business partners? What is she thinking right now? What is she hiding in that big purse? Any of this can be the beginning of a story or poem. (Caution: if you are writing about people you know, be careful where you leave your creative writing journal. You may want to change names and identifying details to protect yourself against prying eyes.) 2) Listen. Eavesdrop in restaurants, in stores. Listen to your own family and friends -- really listen. Not just to what they're saying, but to the words they use, the pauses, the unique rhythms of their speech. And write down pieces of speech when they are still fresh in your ears. If you wait too long, you'll find the sentences coming out in your own voice. Learning to capture different voices on paper will help you with dialogue for stories or scripts. It can also be a source for poetry. 3) Take a field trip. Are you writing a scene in a police station? A city dump? Visit one. Write down the details that will make the setting come alive on the page. On the other hand, if you're not in the middle of a writing project, taking a field trip can give you ideas for one. Go somewhere you would normally never go. By explaining you're a writer, you can get permission to visit places not normally open to the public. The basement of an aquarium? The backrooms of a funeral parlor? Take notes on your observations and see what story ideas emerge. 4) Use real-life stories. The news, gossip, the experiences of your friends, and even stories from history books can be sources for creative writing. Make notes on the story, and imagine the parts you don't know. Imagine it as if you were there. What, exactly, did people see? What were they thinking? What did it all feel like? What led up to the event; what happened next? Let your imagination fill in the gaps. Or imagine that some part of it had been different. How does that change the story? The children's book writer Linda Leopold Strauss used this method to write the novel novel Really, Truly, Everything's Fine . She saw a newspaper story about a man accused of a white-collar crime, and her imagination began to work. She started to wonder if the man had a family, what conversation they would be having over their breakfast table that morning when the newspaper story came out, how the man's child might react to the news of her father's crime, how this would change the life of his child. And so a novel was born. 5) Freewrite. This technique is especially useful as a warm-up for creative writing or as a cure for writer's block. The way freewriting works is that you keep your pen moving on the page, normally during a set amount of time (try setting a timer for five minutes, for example). If you don't have anything to say, you can write, "I don't have anything to say," over and over until something else occurs to you. Don't judge or correct yourself as you are writing; don't worry about sounding smart or even making sense. It is a way of tricking your mind into relaxing. Then interesting things often start to happen on the page.  6) Write to music. Play a piece of music that has no lyrics, and write in your journal about the lyrics you think would fit it best. This can be the beginning of a poem. Does the music stir up memories? If it were the soundtrack for a movie, what kind of movie would it be? Write part of the story. 7) Try different points of view. Italo Calvino wrote a short story in which his character, Marcovaldo, followed stray cats from through his city, seeing the alleys and rooftops from a cat's perspective. Experiment with describing the world around you from different points of view. How would your home look to a child, for example? Think about the details that would attract a child's attention that might not interest an adult. How about you -- how might a stranger describe you? What aspects of you might a stranger that your parents or spouse would overlook? In what ways would the stranger be wrong? 8) Collect words. Did you hear a word that you liked? An expression that caught your attention? In Spain, where I live, people say, "I was more lost than an octopus in a garage." That's quite a mental image. Keep a list of interesting words that you can use as poem starters. You might do a little research on the origins of words and phrases in the list. Many words have curious stories behind them. How does the word sound to you? What images does it bring to mind? Does it have more than one meaning? How does it feel in your mouth? How is it different from similar words? What does it remind you of? Write about it. 9) Focus your attention. Spend a day concentrating on just one of your senses -- smell or sound. Or a day paying attention not to objects, but to their shadows and reflections. A day looking specifically at people's hands, the differences in their textures, their movements, the way they act. A day looking at the way people walk. Focusing your attention will lead to new discoveries. 10) Read actively. Reading can lead your mind in new directions. Of course, you don't want to copy anyone else's creative writing, but you can use it to get new ideas. Maybe a novel you read makes you curious about a foreign culture, a historical event, a certain lifestyle. Do some research on this topic -- it could be the beginning of a story. Maybe a book gives you a fresh perspective on something in your own life or experience. Write about it. If you're a poet, you could try "writing between the lines" of a favorite poem. Write new lines for that poem, and then turn them into a poem of your own.  Creative writing journal - Next stepsJoin our free email group for more creative writing tips.

By crafting an inviting and personalized writing environment, you’ll be more motivated and inclined to immerse yourself in your journaling practice.  Tips for creating a journal writing environment:
Step 3: Begin with a simple warm-up.Start your journal entry by writing the date and a brief warm-up, such as a single sentence describing your current mood or a brief summary of your day. This initial warm-up helps you ease into the journaling process, clear your mind, and establish a connection with your thoughts and emotions, paving the way for a more focused and meaningful writing experience.  Tips for a simple journaling warm-up:
Step 4: Choose a topic, journal prompt, or template.Decide on a subject or theme for your journal entry. Your journal writing topic could simply be a record of the day’s events or your memories of a recent personal experience. You may also want to explore a reflection, goal, idea, or delve into answering a journal prompt you found online or in a book. Your journal is a versatile space for self-expression and exploration, so feel free to experiment with different topics and templates to discover what resonates with you and best supports your personal growth and self-discovery journey.  More ideas for your journal entry:
Step 5: Write freely and openly.Allow yourself to write without judgment or self-censorship. Let your thoughts and emotions flow onto the page, using your chosen topic or prompt as a starting point. Remember that your journal is a private space for self-expression and exploration, and allowing yourself to freely and openly write often leads to surprising insights, revelations, and conclusions. By embracing the process without judgment or expectation, you can uncover hidden aspects of yourself, gain a deeper understanding of your emotions and experiences, and ultimately foster a stronger connection with your inner world.  Tips for writing freely and openly:
Step 6: Reflect and review what you’ve written.After completing your journal entry, take a moment to reflect on what you’ve written. Consider any insights, patterns, or emotions that have emerged during your writing session. This process of self-reflection can help you better understand your thoughts and feelings, as well as identify areas for personal growth or potential solutions to challenges you may be facing. By actively engaging with your writing and taking the time to reflect, you’ll enhance the overall impact of your journaling practice, making it a more valuable and transformative experience. 
Step 7: Close your journaling session.Finish your journaling session by briefly summarizing your main takeaways or thoughts. This could be a sentence or two, or even just a word or phrase. You can also make a simple bulleted list of words, phrases, or key themes that emerged during your writing. This closing practice not only helps reinforce the insights and discoveries you made while journal writing, but also serves as a useful reference point for future journal entries, enabling you to track your personal growth and development over time.  Tips to close your journaling session:
Step 8: Make an appointment with yourself for your next journaling session.Finally, make a commitment to continue your journaling practice by scheduling your next writing session. Choose a time and place where you can regularly dedicate a few minutes to journaling, whether it’s in the morning, evening, or during your lunch break. By setting aside time for yourself, you’ll be more likely to maintain consistency and reap the benefits of a regular journaling practice. Treat your journaling sessions as a sacred time for self-reflection and self-care, and you’ll find that the benefits extend far beyond the page.  Tips for building a regular journaling habit:

From colored pencils to inflatable pool flamingos, colorful containers to invisible pens, there is no shortage of products you can find on Amazon. As an avid Prime user and hardcore fan of the two-day, hassle free shipping, I more often than not find myself scrolling through, looking for something that I want no need in my life. (Because let’s face it, that’s way easier than hauling your booty all the way to the store!) Over the years I’ve done my fair share of ordering products online (from bathroom to housewares, outdoors to cooking utensils, etc.) but as both a writer and editor, I have plenty of experience with the best writing and office products section on the site. And in an effort to not only organize myself, but to help browse through (in an organized fashion) some of the best writing tools all in one place, here is a list of my favorite creative writing prompt journals. Whether you’re feeling stuck, uninspired, or just looking for a refresher, there is something for you. 1. The ‘Roam From Home’ Travel-Inspired Free Writing Journal I love this journal because, as both a writer and travel-lover, I can combine both passions in one place. The interior is 150 pages of travel-related quotes, ideas, prompts and pictures meant to inspire. Whether or not you’ve actually been to the place, you’re inspired to write as if you have, and let the words flow. I’m also a big fan of anything visual, so this journal works well to keep my interest, as well as gives me wanderlust for new places and adventures! 2. The ‘sparkle’ Daily Guided Art/Writing Journal 3. This Creative Kickstarter Journal What I love about This Creative Kickstarter Journal is the fact that it’s just so visual. As someone drawn to color, I love the bright pages, bold designs, and art that’s sprinkled throughout. Something I’ve found real value in when it comes to writing, is the tool of experimenting with ekphrastic writing , which is, in essence, drawing inspiration from visual content such as pictures, photographs, paintings, etc. This journal really implements that and pushes your creative boundaries in a fun way. A great pick! 4. A Year of Creative Writing Prompts What I appreciate the most about this journal is that it pushes you to write and reflect multiple times a day. Honestly, I often fall into the habit of writing when it’s convenient and then not going back to my drafts until the next time it’s convenient…thus missing out on really challenging myself or getting drafts completed in a more efficient amount of time. This journal incorporates morning, mid-day and evening prompts (3 per day for a year!) which will really force you to engage, create, and feel more confident. I’d recommend this to anyone looking for that extra push, or wanting to sharpen their prompted-writing skills. 5. 365 Prompts for 365 Days The prompts in this journal are really focused on beating writer’s block, meaning they will challenge you to think differently and be slightly less traditional in form, which I have always appreciated. Another strong pick! 6. This Nature Guided Journal If you’re looking to both be inspired by the natural world and keep yourself on track with deadlines, ideas, and goals, this is a perfect journal for you! 7. Creative Writing Exercises For DummiesThe ‘Dummies’ series of books is actually so fun. I remember leaving through my parents’ books on some topic, thinking, ‘Hey, this is pretty good advice. ‘ Couldn’t tell you what the topic was (maybe cooking? travel?) but I loved the casual, yet super informative tone.  8. This Self-Exploration Journal A lot of good writing comes from digging within yourself. And whether that is to create effective/believable characters, to learn the inner-workings of a plot, to produce a reliable narrator, etc. it’s important to really know yourself in order to know your writing. That’s why I love this journal . It’s all about self-exploration and translating that to the page. Focusing on different moods to write in certain directions, I love this as both an inspiration tool and resource. 9. The Beautiful Book OF Songwriting prompts For those who are musically inclined, this is obviously a great fit. Beyond that, though, this journal is honestly valuable for any writer. What I love the most about this journal is how it allows you to take a step back and let music/songs/vibes guide your thought process, words, and drafting. Because music isn’t something I incorporate into my every day, I really appreciated thinking about my writing process in a different way! There are different types of prompts the journal discusses: word lists, titles that tell a story, inspiring photographs, and settings & situations . These prompts are not only vastly different, but reusable and can help you over and over again, whether you’re writing a song, poem, or gathering story ideas. An awesome (and different!) pick. 10. The 52 Lists: Weekly Inspiration I am such a list person. Seriously, I have a list for every project, multiple lists around the house, short-term lists, long-term lists, (you get the point.) This journal was a good fit for me because it uses a form I’m comfortable with to help inspire me to write. The lists are very simple in nature, allowing you to be as laid back or challenged as you’d prefer. There is also plenty of space to write, so that you can jot down ideas and then also convert those ideas to lines in a poem, sentences in a story, etc. For anyone who loves list-making as much as I do, or in general finds the quick-notes less daunting, this is a great choice! 11. 1,000 Character Writing Prompts Let’s be honest here, one of the most difficult aspects of writing is creating characters, and building those characters, and personifying those characters, and making them believable. For me, I find myself shaping characters that are often either a) very similar to me, or b) the complete opposite of me. Which, by the way, isn’t really effective. Getting this journal and working through the prompts was so helpful. I was able to see different approaches to building main figures in my stories and how to create them with distinct personalities (that weren’t weird carbon copies of me!). I was challenged by the villain sections because creating an evil figure is more than just has to be just as believable and multi-dimensional – which is hard! The prompts incorporate different scenes and scenarios, are reusable, and really helped me dive deeper into my stories. I would definitely recommend. 12. Every Day Is Epic: Guided Journal I’ll be honest, at first I wasn’t a fan of guided journals. When it came to writing, I just wanted space to pour my heart out! But I’m a very visual person, and definitely love having a book I can open and be inspired, simply by the colors, patterns, notes, and other fun add-ins. That’s how the Every Day Is Epic guided journal is — fun and busyness on every page! From planner-like notes, to space for doodles, to reflection areas for post-dreams, this journal has it all, and is bound to inspire! Featured Image Credit: Estee Janssens Share This!

No doubt, you already know some of the benefits of journaling, and one reason may stand out from the others. Here’s a list of known benefits, in case you haven’t learned them all.
A fresh new journal represents a fresh start — with new ideas and discoveries. It’s also literally full of blank pages , which have a mixed effect on writers. You want to fill those pages with content worthy of your intentions for this journal.  Before you can start filling them, though, you need to let go of the idea that your content should be extra-special or next-level insightful. Some days you’ll drop nuggets of wisdom. Other days, you’ll write content that will embarrass your future self. No one actually dies of embarrassment, though. Think of it as part of the process. If you’re still looking at your gorgeous new journal and wondering how to get started (because “It’s too pretty!” We know how it is), here are some ideas:
61 Journaling Ideas to De-Stress and Feel HappyYou can start by creating a list of anything, really. See if one of the following prompts helps you get started:
 Brainyquote.com is one place you can look for quotes that get you thinking — and writing — about something important to you. Choose a meaningful quote that resonates or that makes you want to argue with it. Choose a favorite positive affirmation or one on which you’d like to elaborate. It can be about your personal development, your career, money, relationships, or anything of great importance to you. Gratitude and journaling belong together. Start with one thing you’re grateful for, and either expand on that one thing or add at least two more. Pretty soon you'll have a mood-boosting gratitude list you will find very uplifting.  No doubt, the words “I forgive” bring a certain person to mind whom you find it difficult to forgive. But for your own sake — so you can move past it — at least journal the words “I forgive ____, and I want only what’s good for him/her,” even if you’re not feeling it. You might preface this journal entry with a memory of something that person said or did that you appreciate. Or you can think of something this person might hold against you, try to see your words or actions from their perspective, and write a genuine apology to them. Think of the last time someone did or said something that made you smile in gratitude or admiration. What was that thing, and what was it about the context of that thing that made you more likely to smile about it? Imagine you’ve been asked to write something positive about someone — only that someone is you. This is a creative way to practice some self-love Maybe you don’t do everything the same exact way every morning (or maybe you do), but there are probably some things you do every morning. Why do you do them, and what new habits would you like to add to your morning routine to give your day a better start? What morning habits would you like to replace with better ones? This is a fun one, but you have to remember not to stop yourself with the question, “What is the point of even writing this when my circumstances probably make it impossible?” Write it anyway, and remember to seal your answer with the words, “This or something better.” This question can also be liberating. If you need to allow yourself to articulate these thoughts while answering the question from #9, go ahead. Allow yourself to get those thoughts out into the open. Just don’t allow yourself to be tied down to them. Use them as a chance to air and then evaluate those thoughts. Think of an accomplishment that gets you closer to your personal goals. Have you reached it? If not, how close are you to reaching it, and what do you have to do every day to get yourself closer to it? This can take place in the present or three years from now. Put a description in your journal of the whole day, from waking up in the morning to going to bed that night. Write down all the important details — the big ideas that make your day perfect. Write about someone you’re thinking about for some reason — someone you miss, someone who’s made you angry, or maybe someone you’d like to meet.  It can be anyone, and you can either write about why this person is on your mind, or you can write a script for an imaginary meeting or a necessary conversation. Where do you want to be three years from now? Again, you’ll want to focus on the most important elements of that vision. You don’t need to know exactly where you’ll be living or what your new favorite chair will look like (though you’re allowed to). What’s the bigger picture for this vision? When you get to the end of this day, how will you want to have spent it? Or what top three things do you want to focus on today? How will this day get you closer to your vision for the future? And feel free to make it sound as fancy or as decadent as you want. Try including sensory details in your journal to motivate yourself to mindfulness practice even while you’re eating. Whether you’re starting a new dietary regimen or not, sometimes it helps to keep a detailed account of everything you’ve eaten and everything you plan to eat for the rest of the day. No judging. Or pretend you’re a food blogger for a day and write about your ideal menu or a meal you had recently at a restaurant. Whatever event stirs up memories (good memories or the other kind), write about that. Or write about an upcoming event that’s important to you. What hurdles have you jumped in your career, with your relationship, or with your personal development? Or what breakthroughs have you had? What challenges remain? You probably know solutions to some problems or ways to overcome a particular challenge. Maybe you learned it the hard way. Your journal entry about it could turn into a helpful blog post or even a book. Whether you’re thinking of a memorable passage from a book you’re reading, a blog post or article you’ve read recently, or a magazine headline you saw while standing in a check-out line, write about what sticks in your mind and why it matters to you (if it does). Ever caught yourself dwelling on a fear that you had — or still have? How have you chosen to respond to that fear? Does it hold you back in some way? How will you overcome your fear? If you pray to a higher power, your daily journal is a great place to articulate exactly what you want to say. Whether you have questions you need to be answered, or you’d like help with something, writing about it makes it more likely that you’ll get closer to the answers, blessings, and accomplishments you’re seeking. You can also begin with a note to yourself for any of the following:
A great journal writing prompt is to write a letter. In your journal you can prepare the message to someone with whom you’re having a dispute, someone you need to reconnect with, or someone you want to share your love for. From there, you can either copy and paste it into an actual message or write it out by hand and send it by snail mail — maybe with a treat, you know its recipient would enjoy. If you never had the chance to tell someone something you needed to say, writing it in a journal can at least provide some closure, even though it’s not the same as actually telling that someone. If it helps, try writing it as a script, with your part and that of the person who has passed on. Make it a conversation that ends in a plausible and satisfying way. Write in your journal about a memory that has come to you recently — perhaps because something in your life triggered it.  Whether it’s a happy memory or not, you might enjoy writing about it. Try to recall as many sensory details as you can. If you’ve ever bought a painting that made you imagine a life that might one day be your own, or if you saw an image in a magazine or on the internet that caught your attention and took you places in your mind, write about that. Some dreams stick around longer for a reason. What was your most memorable dream, and why do you think you still remember it? What details stand out the most? Is there something about that dream that you want to recreate in your conscious life? Or does the dream represent a fear or concern you need to address? Set a timer for ten to thirty minutes and just write whatever comes to mind. Don’t stop until the timer goes off. Sure, much of what you write will sound frivolous or random, but who cares? Write whatever is trampling over other thoughts to get out the door. Normally, you wouldn’t want to reward such behavior, but thoughts get away with a lot more than we do. Write a single sentence. Then another. Then a third sentence. You can stop then, or you can keep going. Maybe one of those sentences will trigger something. But even if they don’t, you’ve written three sentences, and that’s something. If you’re not satisfied with just writing three random sentences, make them an answer to a question or write a sentence for each of the three things you’re most grateful for in that moment.

Or create a completely fictional character with strange quirks or with a terrible secret. This journal entry might become the starter for a new novel or short story. Or it might just help you get better acquainted with a character you already have. Start with a nonsense observation — like “the sun is a radish this morning” or something more ridiculous. Write about how your favorite color is connected to the day of the week you were born and the number of hairs in your father’s left ear. Go crazy with this journal idea. Begin like your writing in a diary and write an encouraging note to yourself about the day you’re going to have or about a challenge you’ll be facing today. Be a friend and write the words you need to hear. Write about your favorite meal and how it’s prepared. Write about the best time you had when you were able to enjoy this meal — alone or with good company. Why is it your favorite? Write about how your day (or at least your morning) is going so far, what has happened, and what you’re thankful for. Write about the direction your day is taking, and whether it’s the direction you want it to take or you’d like to change course and make it better.  I know it’s easier to write about why you’re angry with someone, but try writing only positive things about this person. If no words come to mind, try writing about good things you want for this person. The more goodwill you exercise toward other people in writing, the easier it becomes to forgive them. If you took one of your paychecks and pulled 10% out in cash for your own personal spending, what would you spend it on and why? Imagine doing this and describe how you’d feel while you were spending the money. Could you do this on a regular basis? If you’ve never considered doing this, what would you have to do in order to make it a regular thing? Write about the person you want to be, focusing on your end goals and the person you have to be in order to reach them. Visualize yourself as this person and describe your lifestyle, where you live, and how you spend your time. Write about the qualities you admire and want to see in yourself. When was the last time someone forgave you for something? How did that change things for you? What did it do for your relationship with this person — and for other relationships? How did it change the way you feel about this person and about yourself? What questions do you have about the afterlife, about religion, about a higher being? What do you want to know about the universe and your relevance and connection to it? How would you answer someone else’s question about what you believe? If you’ve ever caught yourself saying things like “I hate driving in the dark! It’s so scary…” or “I’m terrible at making small talk ! I make a fool of myself every time,” you already know why you prefer to avoid those things. Now, imagine how differently you’d see those things if you instead told yourself, “Sometimes I really enjoy a nighttime drive,” or “Small talk is nothing to be afraid of. It’s just talking about the first socially appropriate things that come to mind and listening to other people do the same thing. I’m great at talking, and I’m an even better listener.” You probably wouldn’t be as anxious to avoid night driving and small talk. What scares you that you have to do anyway? Maybe you have teenage kids with jobs, and you have to pick them up after their shifts end around seven or eight o’clock. Maybe you live in an apartment complex and always run into a small crowd of familiar faces when you’re heading in and out. Write about whatever comes to mind for you, and compose some empowering self-talk to help you get through whatever you have to do that (you think) doesn’t come naturally to you. Not only is it good practice for writing about your fears and how to address them, this is yet another journaling example of how starting a journal can help you become the person you want to be. Pretend you’re preparing for an exercise where each of you takes turns sitting in a chair while others each pay you a genuine and true compliment . Everyone has to take a turn in the “seat of regard.” And the only response the receiver can give (besides crying) is “Thank you.”] Invite two of your “selves” to an honest conversation about something. Think past self vs. present self — or hurting self vs. compassionate caregiver self — or tempted self vs. powerful self. Make a pressing issue the main topic and take dictation for the voices in your head. Some years bring more change than others, but what specifically is different for you about this past year? Think beyond events and changes that everyone is experiencing and focus on your own internal changes and personal progress. Some compliments make a deeper impression than others, and you can probably think of compliments you’ve received along the way that took you by surprise and changed the way you see yourself. Describe one of these compliments along with who gave it to you. Get down to the things you’d absolutely want to hold onto if you lost everything else — whether that’s a special lotion, a kind of tea, your favorite pair of pants, or something else. How did you discover it, and why do you consider it an essential part of your life? Make an honest list of the emotions that come to mind and take note of the strongest ones. Then dig a little deeper to explore why you feel those things. If what you’re feeling is an understandable response to a painful experience, honor those feelings, and write with honesty and self-compassion. Are you anxious about something right now? Or what coping strategies have you learned that help you deal with your everyday anxiety or with unusual stressors in your life? Write about a moment when you used one of those strategies and how it helped. Was your mind playing in-house movies last night? What was on your mind, and why do you think you had such a hard time putting those thoughts to rest? Are you worried these thoughts will come back to disturb you tonight? What can you do to help guarantee a better night’s sleep? You can be as general or specific as you like with this, as long as you identify your top three priorities. Then look at how you prioritize them every day. What does that look like? And what habits are making it easier or harder to keep your priorities straight? If you don’t want to name specific people, just write about a painful experience and what you learned from it. Have you changed the way you respond to similar situations? Have your actions since then helped you think of them differently or even forgive them? You picked up a “genie lamp” from an antique store, and with a few rubs with your polishing rag, suddenly a genie is offering you three wishes. What do you do with them? Would you change your career, your home, your income…? And would you use your last wish to free the genie? What habits have you picked up that are not serving you well? And what habits would you like to replace them with? How might your life change if you replaced even one of those self-sabotaging habits with an empowering one? And which habit will you change first? Maybe you were in a school play, concert, or recital, and your family and friends celebrated your performance. Whatever comes to mind, write about it in your journal, adding every detail you can remember. Maybe you want to start practicing daily meditation. Or maybe you can stop at two cups of coffee and switch to tea before the jitters set in. Whatever change you’d like to make, describe it and write about how you think it would change your life for the better. Start with a shortlist of the apps you use most. Then describe one or more of your favorite apps and how they help you every day. Why are they better than any competitors you’ve tried. What difference have they made in your life? Journal about a friend from years back and describe a special moment during your time as friends. When was the last time you talked to them? Do you know how to get a hold of them? Do you want to? Why or why not? And why are they no longer a part of your life? Maybe you want to start saving $25 or $50 from every payday. Or maybe you want to start paying off your smallest debt more quickly. Whatever financial concern is at the top of your list, write about what you’re thinking and what action you plan to take. You know your body needs movement. Ever since hearing that “sitting is the new smoking,” you’ve thought of how to make exercise a part of your daily life. So, what can you start with today or this week that you know you could stick with? Think about teachers or coaches, counselors/therapists, bosses/managers, roommates — anyone who made a positive impact in your life. Write about how you met and what they said or did that helped you make a better choice or see things differently. You wake up, and a special, handmade gift is waiting for you on your dresser. Or you come downstairs to find your favorite breakfast waiting for you. Whatever you remember, describe it with as much sensory detail as you can recall. Whether you use daily journaling prompts or just write whatever is on your mind, knowing how to journal opens a word of self-discovery. Journaling gives you a safe space to explore creative things and to ask yourself deeper questions. Keeping a journal is also a way to process and keep a list of things you’ve been learning from a new book, course, or online program. The simple exercise of writing someone else’s message into your own words helps you make sense of it by filtering it through your own understanding and perspective. Not only are you then better able to incorporate what you’ve learned, but you’ve also become better at learning. They really should teach this in schools. What you write in your journal is your own, though, and however you get those thoughts down onto the page — as neatly printed (or typed) lines, doodles , mind maps, or a combination of all these — the most important thing is to keep journaling daily. So, there’s no need to ask how to write a journal. Better to ask how journaling can best serve you — and what personal journal ideas can help you make the most of it. Journal Writing vs. Journal TypingSo, is typing your journal entry as good as writing in your journal by hand? When it comes to the most powerful benefits of journaling, yes. While there are proven cognitive benefits to writing by hand, the important thing is to get your words onto a page — whether it’s digital or something you can touch. The most important thing is to create and maintain the habit of journaling every day (or as close to that as possible). You can always mix it up and do both, choosing one or the other based on convenience or a desire to do something different (or to use that brand new journal). Journal is a way that works best for you. Your brain will be healthier and happier either way. Did you find helpful ideas on what to write in your journal? If you’ve found value in this journaling ideas post, I hope you’ll share it and encourage others to pass it on. The benefits of daily journaling are too good to keep to yourself, and you know you want to contribute to a more self-aware and generous world. So, if this article will help you to thrive today and become the person you want to be, please bless another person today — or as many as you can. And may your generosity and goodwill infuse everything else you do today.  2 thoughts on “61 Of The Best Journaling Ideas To De-Stress And Feel Happy”I love this!

8. This Self-Exploration Journal. A lot of good writing comes from digging within yourself.
