Top Tips for Journaling this Spring ✍🏼🌻
The season of renewal and growth is the perfect time to start a new routine and focus on your self...
1. Keep it simple
There are plenty of elaborate journaling tips out there but if you’re struggling to get started, we suggest going back to basics. Try writing a few sentences about how you feel, you can simply write ‘today I feel...’ and see what comes to mind.
The simple act of showing up to your journal regularly will feel way more achievable if you keep things simple.
2. Set a timer!
We are unsure what the science is behind this but we do know that when you ask yourself a question and then set a timer, there is a sense of urgency to get everything down that springs to mind. Try 3 minutes to start...
3. Set the scene
Trying to get into the headspace to journal can feel impossible when there are too many distractions. So try tweaking your environment to help you relax.
4. Stop worrying about making it pretty
Ask perfectionism to step aside for this kind of writing. Don’t let all those Pinterest-worthy journals adorned with intricate illustrations and patterned washi tape make you think that yours has to be a work of art. Life is never picture perfect and your journal needn’t be either.
5. Learn to let go of self judgement
Journaling is for anyone and everyone. Your journal will not judge you. It’s your words, your life, your autonomy. The hope is that you find strength and agency in your words. Finding solutions to your problems and allowing yourself space to be 100% you.
6. Note how you feel after you journal
The next time you journal, take a few moments afterwards to reflect on how it makes you feel. Close your eyes and acknowledge how it’s changed the way you see certain things, how it’s helped you process a situation or even encouraged a more positive outlook.

Hazel Appreciation post!
@hazel.k.bailey joined The Positive Planner in 2018 when we were fulfilling orders ourselves book by book, since then she has become our logistics queen and now looks after our wholesale accounts and organises books sailing across oceans by the pallet! It’s been a wild ride but we are so happy you came on it with us.
Small businesses are no easy task, but fierce protectors like Hazel help!
We’re so grateful for all that you do H, have a lovely birthday ♥️
