3 Ways to Love Journaling Every Day

{!firstname_fix}

We love journaling, and hope you do too! If you want to turn journaling into a daily 
practice, it needs to be something you fall in love with. Whether that is because of the 
benefits you get, or the writing itself, it should be something you enjoy and look forward 
to.

Here are some of our best tips for enjoying journaling every day:


1. Find Your Purpose for Journaling

The first way you can start to enjoy journaling more each day is by reminding yourself 
WHY you want to use a journal in the first place. Any time you lose motivation when 
trying something new, it is always a good idea to re-visit your reasons. It gives you 
some of that spark back, and helps you set intentions. 

Some ideas might include:

Increasing your focus and productivity.
Figuring out where your anxiety is coming from.
Venting and de-stressing.
Finding more clarity in your life.

There are many benefits of journaling, so you can add more to your own list whenever 
necessary.


2. Make it a Daily Self-Care Practice

Your journaling routine doesn’t just have to be about writing in your journal, but be part 
of a larger routine. It can be included in a self-care practice, where every activity 
focuses on you and your own needs. It might include lighting a candle and listening to 
soft music while you journal, writing in your journal after meditation, or even in the 
evening after taking an aromatherapy bath. Self-care has many levels, so you can add 
anything you want to it.


3. Journal for Every Emotion

Remember to journal everything you are feeling, not just the good or the bad. It is easy 
to get stuck in patterns where you only journal on a good day or a bad day, but mix it 
up. Journal in different circumstances, when you are in different moods, and at different 
moments in your life. This keeps it interesting and helps you truly gain clarity from the 
practice.


The more you write in your journal, the more you will get out of it. This is what is going 
to lead you to loving the activity.
