Hello! First time in the doing anything like this, so please bear with me! There isn’t a place for people to post or talk about their journaling, which can be very helpful to others. So I decided to make one … even though I’ve never done anything remotely close to this. ———————————————————————— Welcome
This is a community for all journal related things prompts, questions, showing off, really anything relating to journaling. Always on the move, show off your everyday carry journal set up. Don’t write down paragraphs upon paragraphs of words, no worries! No matter how you journal or how you decide to keep your journal this community is for anyone who wants to share or just excited to see others set ups. ———————————————————————— Rules
— No hateful conduct
Due to the nature of journaling posts can be very personal. Anyone who is found to be overly negative or discriminatory towards another member within this community will receive repercussions relative to the situation. Have basic etiquette, this community is based on positivity and that will remain my goal throughout.
— No spam
Spam will be considered as posting the same content more than three times. ———————————————————————— Note
As this is my first time creating a community please let me know if there are any rules I should implement. I am completely open to feedback and criticism as long as it’s for the best interest of the community.

Write a letter to your past self (10 years younger than you are today). Then write another one to your future self (10 years from now).
I don’t really use prompts, but I’m really considering doing so soon. I want to commit myself to making journaling more of a regular habit until it becomes a daily practice and prompts may be a good way to get myself there.
Right now I just kind of do it when I feel like it, and sometimes I’ll go days or weeks between entries. It’s sad because I know how much it helps me when I’m consistent with the practice, but yet I haven’t really made it a priority.
I’ve been journaling on and off since I was a kid, but I don’t have any of my old journals from then. I have one from my teen years (cringe), and then I really got back into it again a few years ago.
What am I intentionally ignoring?
What can I do in one hour or less to make my life better?
If I'm particularly stuck, but know that I have something that I need to process/consider/write about in order to understand it, I'll sometimes start with a particularly poignant line of a song, poem, etc., that somehow has relevance to the thing I am trying to process into writing.
There are a number of artists and phrases that trigger deeper thought within me where just asking myself a question to get the tap flowing would be less effective.
