After all, journaling can allow you to work out your feelings asa healthy and therapeutic outlet.

Okay, what’s stopping you, then?

It could be any number of things.

Woman journaling

Plus, they all make journaling seem so involved!

As a matter of fact, though, journaling doesn’t have to be difficult.

As writing coachLauren Marie Flemingtells it, this is… well, just silly.

Bullet journal

It’s not a life partner, it’s just a notebook.

Your words matter, but what you write them on or in?

Others advise you adopt some complex method ofbullet journalingusing color-coded pens and dividers and… sheesh.

Man thinking

In fact, you don’t need to “write” your words down at all.

Oh, and don’t get too hung up on your spelling, grammar, or handwriting, either.

In this instance, it’s all about what you say, not how you say it.

Narcissistic woman

Again, this is nonsense.

Still, if you never start digging, that gold will stay buried forever.

Use it to work out how best to express your thoughts before you “go live” with them.
