How to start journaling (without perfection!)

Описание: Journaling often feels harder than it should—not because you lack discipline, but because perfection quietly became the goal.

In this video, I walk through why journaling breaks down for so many people, how social media aesthetics distort what the practice actually looks like, and how to start journaling in a simple, realistic way that you can return to.

This is not about beautiful notebooks, perfect handwriting, or fixing your life in one sitting.
It’s about progress.
It’s about noticing.
It’s about showing up honestly, even for five minutes.

In this video, you’ll learn:
• Why most people struggle to journal consistently
• How perfection blocks real reflection
• What “messy” journaling actually looks like in practice
• A simple structure you can use today:
• two gratitude statements
• two open-ended prompts for clarity and awareness

If journaling has felt like a task, an assignment, or something you’re “bad at,” this video is meant to reset your expectations and give you a calmer way forward.
