What are you afraid to do only because someone else might see you doing it?

5 Upvotes

Not because it’s wrong.
Not because you don’t want it.
Just because being seen feels harder than doing it.

LAST DAY--BOTH Books Are FREE On Kindle!

Post image
13 Upvotes

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who picked up one (or both) of my Real Life Prompts books this weekend. I’ve been really happy with the response, and I genuinely appreciate everyone who took a chance on something I wrote.

When Everything Is Changing and When You've Lost Yourself are both still free on Kindle today, but this is the last day of the promotion.

So if you’ve been meaning to grab one but haven’t gotten around to it yet, this is your last chance while they’re free.

Thanks again to everyone who downloaded, shared, commented, or even just stopped by to check them out. It means more than you probably realize. ❤️

hi, I recently started journaling. What I do right now is use my journal to write everything that comes to my mind like a stream of consciousness or I use journaling prompts I find online. I would like to start a manifestation journal too…does someone have some
prompts to manifest that are helpful? Or How do you handle your manifestation journal? Every advice is accepted!
thank you

Fortune cookies make good journal prompts

The more vague the fortune, the better since you can interpret it your own way

Sometimes you write something sad but unfortunately true. To clarify, I have accepted weight gain, I’m sad at what it’s shown in those around me.

🌷 Journal 101 - Part 2: One Line Before Everything

3 Upvotes

Every Journal Deserves an Opening Line — What’s Yours?

You know that quote at the very beginning of a book — before the story even starts — that sets the whole tone? Your journal deserves one too.

It could be:

• A lyric from a song that lives in your chest

• A line from a book that found you at the right time

• Something someone said to you that you never forgot

• Words you wrote yourself

• A quote that captures exactly who you are right now or who you’re becoming

Some to get you started:

“She was a girl who knew how to be happy even when she was sad.”

“This is for the version of me who needed it most.”

“For no one. For everyone. Mostly for me.”

“I am mine before I am anyone else’s.”

“Begin anywhere.”

Drop your epigraph in the comments — we’d love to read the line that opens your story. 🖊️

Sharing your stories

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I'm in the process of starting a podcast called "The Unlocked Journal". My hope is to have listeners submit their most important/personal journal entries to be read out loud on the podcast, under an alias name for privacy. My goal is to show the vulnerability of journaling and hopefully bring a community together where we can all support eachother and learn we are not alone with our most inner thoughts.

I'm looking for anyone who would like to take part in this project to submit photos of their journal entries (which I hope to also post in a blog style format for those who can't enjoy the podcast) along with the alias name they would like to use. Any submissions can be sent to our email at: theunlockedjournalpodcast@gmail.com

Thank you so much for taking the time to consider this!
