unfortunately everybody is right about this one! i was very shocked by how neatly my thoughts squeeze each other into line on the ride from my brain to the end of the pen. now i actually look forward to it every day when i thought it was gonna be a chore.
(also an invaluable excuse to buy pens and notebooks!!!)

this is only a habit i have picked up in the last year, but it has made a world of difference. i will write about things that i am thinking about or stuff i need to do or just chronicle my day. i just find it very grounding or like a reset to my thought processes.

always thought i had to wait for my life to be amazing to start writing it down...turns out it was already pretty cool and i regret all the stuff i can't remember anymore. also just a helpful mental practice to get your thoughts out of your brain and on some paper so you don't have to worry about holding them all in there. spending extra time thinking about positive moments in your life is also a good way to help your brain default to positive thinking more often, like building a muscle. i make it fun by cutting and pasting a bunch of pictures and stuff so it feels like a craft instead of a chore, otherwise i won't really do it.

instead i keep a notebook in my bag and write down anything that strikes me as interesting: something funny a prof said, a lyric and why i like it, an interesting dream, a recurrent thought i've had for a few days... helped me a lot more than journaling and i make it fun by diversifying it, which the journaling format lacks kinda? i mean, doing sketches and planning website pages and writing down thoughts abt a book i just finished and making editing decisions blablaboablabla ANYTHING U EVER THINK OF! that helped me uncover patterns and common themes in my life way more than journaling but ig it does amount to the same concept π
