I wanted to try journaling after Xmas. But I lead a really boring and mundane life. So not sure what I would really write about apart from … got up … went to work … came home. What do u do with ur journal? Do u draw or add stuff? Any help would be appreciated

I use a journal but I don't do it every day and I don't draw fancy planners like in a bullet journal. I just have a plain notebook which I start writing thoughts, feelings, observations or lists of things. Sometimes just 1 or sentance sometimes a couple of pages. I write down some of the boring mundane things if I feel like it it doesn't need to be profound and phylisophical writing it just a way to get thoughts and feelings out of my head. I've noticed in the 4/5 years since I've been doing it that my words are much more positive nowadays.

Hop on over to youtube and take a look at some art journalling tutorials.

If you're interested in Commonplace journalling, then Miranda Mills on Instagram & YouTube has lots of info on starting up and adding to your journal.
