There are so many benefits of journal writing... like less stress and a sense of gratitude. But sitting down to actually put pen to paper is surprisingly difficult.
That’s one of the reason’s I don’t do it anymore. I just don’t have the time with 3 kids, 3 dogs and a fulltime job.
It could be why “junk journaling” has over 54 million posts on TikTok where creators are filling notebooks with anything and everything.
The rule: there’s no rules! Don’t think about it and just put it in your journal! It’s basically a modern-day scrapbook, but with no rules!
People fill theirs with ticket stubs, food wrappers, pretty napkins, receipts, bookmarks, stamps — you name it, it can go in a junk journal.
Junk journaling could be the perfect answer if you’ve always wanted to journal, save memories, or hash out ideas but tend to quickly give up after the first page.
