It is very easy and simple to start journaling. To get you started, here are a few tips:
1)Take a journal which you are at ease with. Use a notebook, an app, or a voice recorder. What matters is to find a path that resonates with you.
2) Establish a routine: Write every day at the same time, whether in the morning or the evening. Consistency is what helps to make journaling a habit.
3) If you just started, keep the paragraphs short. First, Journal (describe your day, your intentions/resolutions, or what you appreciate).
4)Honesty with self is the key. Just write down whatever comes to mind, no need to worry about the actual grammar or spelling. Your journal is for you only. We should not care about what others think
5)Experiment with creative forms of journaling, such as bullet journaling, free writing, or doodling. Experiment until you find what is best.
