Live Class Review

I don't have trouble with my journaling practice but there was some good information here. I was glad to go over journaling goals, learn how to bargain with my brain, and use learn how to use a habit tracker. Shelby gave me some good ideas for making my journaling time into a sensory experience. I will defintely employ what I learned today.

This class was so inspirational and had many and wide ranging tips so everyone could get a good takeaway. Mine were: Let others have their own junk, set up a lovely space for me and create boundaries with non verbal reminders

Great for Procrastinators

I’ve wanted to journal for years but every time I try to start I get anxious. I always wanted a pretty journal, like on Instagram, but I still have a long way to go in my art journey & I think it’s held me back from starting. I lost sight of the true importance of journaling. Writing my intentions was a major ah-ha moment. Now I feel much more confident & ready to begin journaling.

That Journalling Is a Gift for you, from you

I liked this course because Shelby is enthusiastic and passionate but also realistic. She acknowledges that some problems (like trying to find time) exist, but also suggests possible solutions (like 'marrying' habits). She talks about her personal experiences on her journal journey, (dealing with negativity) and how to handle that. This course was really helpful and reassuring.

Have fun and don’t let negativity get in the way.

I enjoyed the course, I think I had done the course before when I first signed up. This was where I heard about the morning pages and I have still been trying to figure out how I could make time to write and make writing my morning pages a lasting habit. So thank you for an enjoyable course. I look forward to completing more and re-visiting some that I had previously completed.
