There are several methods you can try when you begin your Journal Journey. And the best part? Since this writing is just for you, there is no wrong way to write! But if you have never done any journaling before, some examples of methods include:

- Prompting
This method uses a quote, saying, or writing exercise to inspire your entries.
- Freewriting
This method allows you to write whatever stream of consciousness you choose.
- Bullet Journaling
This is a creative, hand-drawn organizer and note-taking process that may include elements of scrapbooking, hand lettering, and doodles.
- Gratitude Journal
This is a way to focus on all of the things you are grateful for. It may be written as similar to freewriting or as a list with bullet points.
- Dream Journal
If you have vivid dreams, this is a way to jot them down as soon as you wake up to analyze them later.
- Art Journal
If you are more of an artist than a writer, put your thoughts on feelings on the page with original artwork that you create yourself.
- Manifesting Journal
Use this type of journal to plan your future goals and aspirations.
So, how can you get started?
The most important part of journaling is to create a routine. Set aside ten to twenty minutes, at least four times a week in a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. Make sure not to be self-critical. There is no need to censor or edit because this writing is just for you! Just let the journaling style you choose flow naturally. Then, it’s just a matter of settling in, picking up your rose gold pen, and enjoying your self-expression.
There are so many benefits to taking this time for yourself all year long (not just on Valentine’s Day!) Amongst others, journaling can enhance your life in these areas:
- Social
- Financial
- Creative
- Analytical
- Emotional
- Introspective
The most important part of journaling is to explore your self-expression freely and openly. By doing this, you gain a deeper understanding of your feelings and thoughts. And when you understand and empathize with yourself more completely, even lonely times are easy to overcome.
