Overview

The ultimate guide to journaling, packed with prompts and ideas to spark creativity. 

For many people who want to keep a journal, the fear of the blank page can be a very real stumbling block, but is definitely something that can be resolved. In this essential guide, journaling expert Helen Colebrook offers up all her knowledge, tips and tricks to ensure you get truly bitten by the journaling bug. 

Through 101 layout examples, Helen shows you how to approach the design of a myriad of different journal pages, from mood trackers to gratitude spreads, monthly cover pages, daily, weekly and monthly planners, lists, project planners and more. She also covers ideas for junk journaling, adding watercolour to your journal and other ways to develop the artistic side of your journaling.

This is a book that will be a constant companion, that you can use for inspiration whenever you need some new ideas for a fresh layout. But it's not just about the aesthetics of your journal – alongside the layouts Helen gives helpful prompts that will make you think about what you are journaling as much as how. These include thoughtful prompts and exercises to get you started on self-reflection and help you make writing a daily habit, alongside creative prompts to get your creative juices flowing. 

There are no end of ways to get creative in your journal and it can become a hugely relaxing and rewarding part of the process. The beauty of journaling is that there is no right or wrong, but sometimes we all need a little help and inspiration to help us get the most of this fulfilling hobby. 

This beautiful book is the perfect companion to Helen's debut book, Journal with Purpose, and alongside her YouTube tutorials and blog, will ensure you have all the tools and ideas you need to make your journal a thing of beauty and personal truth.

Preface

I’m so excited to share this ultimate journaling guide with you. Whether you are completely new to journaling, or looking to develop and deepen your journal practice, this book will give you lots of new ideas for topics to write about, different journaling layouts and lots of creative inspiration.  

This is the book that I wish had existed when I first started journaling. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to write about or how I wanted to document my days, so everything in this book is designed to give you lots of inspiration taken from the different journaling styles and techniques that I have learned over the years. 

Journals can be used in so many different ways; like planning out your dream life, getting thoughts out of your head, organising your workload, documenting daily life, focusing on your health and well-being, along with being a wonderful break from the digital world. 

Keeping a journal is linked closely to the act of mindfulness, as it enables you to engage with and explore your thoughts, whilst still focusing on the present moment. The simple act of picking up a pen and writing can help you to feel more relaxed and pause the continual swirl of activity in your mind, giving some useful structure to your thoughts and feelings. 

By reliving positive experiences in your journal, it can help boost your mood and build self-confidence. Writing things down has also been linked to improved memory and it helps you to commit to your goals, in a way that typing alone often can’t achieve. 

My biggest hope is that this book acts as a springboard for you in your own journaling routine. You can either copy my layouts exactly or use them as inspiration to create something that feels exactly right for you and your lifestyle. 

One of the great things about journaling is that there are absolutely no rules. You can’t do it wrong! So please relax, enjoy the journey of self-discovery and all the many benefits that come with regularly taking a little time out to document and create in your journals.
