Journaling has been around for centuries, even millennia. There is something about writing down your thoughts, dreams, and aspirations on a piece of paper. It is a great way to turn the attention away from the external stimulus (AKA COVID, stress, school, etc.), and focus instead on a little bit of self-care and love via the simplest medium that is ~journaling~.
Not only can you manifest and write down your affirmations on insanely cute sets of stationary, but journaling can help you tremendously to gain control of your emotions and improve your mental health as well.
If you’re looking for the right tools to start with, then worry not, we’ve rounded up some regional brands that can help you start! #SupportLocalBusinesses as you’re scribbling down your latest 2022 diary entry.
