OR why not have a go at making your OWN JOURNAL? I have two fabulous posts that shows you two different ways of How to Make a Journal: Someone gave this to me as a birthday present a long time ago. I'm moving out, it's the biggest waste of space in my apartment. HOW MANY BOOKS DO YOU LITERALY GET TO DESTROY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?Write a list of things that you can do when you feel anxious or fearful, such as deep breathing or meditation.

No, you can use whatever supplies you have on hand such as pencils, markers, crayons, or even household items like rubber bands or coffee grounds. 6. Is it okay to make mistakes? What I mean by that is, it pushes your boundaries and makes you think of both art and journaling in a different way. It tries to expand the ideas we have established of what we think a journal is. See, it’s not just about someone sitting down to neatly chronicle events and feelings; rather it can be the ultimate form of expression, experimentation of creation, and thought collection!Interesting idea. This book is where I developed my belief that one should not treat books one reads with reverence. Let me explain: I am engaged to a man that collects comic books. Now, as a general rule, comics are fairly fragile, being only a few sheets of paper held together with a couple staples. So when he reads them, he holds them delicately, and their spines are never broken. The books are never opened wide, and he lies them down open on his palms, instead of holding each side of the book upright. They are kept in bags with cardboard (all acid free archival quality!) in doing all this, he is ensuring that these comic books will be worth more money in future years. His treatment of them has spread into his treatment of regular novels and bound materials. It then spread to me and I found myself coddling each hardcover I owned and I avoided breaking book spines as much as possible. Write in your journal for 10 minutes without stopping. This can help clear your mind and reduce stress. This week, I gave the “journal” to my niece who turned 13 years old. I knew she would either react with rapture or complete apathy.

Write a letter to your future self, telling yourself how proud you are for overcoming your fears and anxieties. Write a letter to yourself, giving yourself encouragement and motivation to overcome your fears and anxieties. You can keep the completed journal as a memento or display it in your home. You can also choose to share it on social media to inspire others. Closing: Draw a picture of yourself where you feel strong and confident. Hang it where you can see it every day as a reminder of your strength. If you feel like your anxiety and fear are too overwhelming, reach out to a mental health professional for support and guidance. You don’t have to face your fears alone.

Create a list of things that you can do every day to promote relaxation and reduce anxiety, such as taking a warm bath or going for a walk. This isn’t just a book or a journal, this is a project, an undertaking, a small commitment you have to make with yourself if you are going to complete this. A conceptual artist and author luring kids into questioning the world and appreciating every smell, texture and mystery in it.” — TIME Magazine But hey, if anyone enjoys this or gets something out of this who am I to judge? It's definitely thinking outside of the box. I can see the quirky appeal of it and I can see why it would sell well in a gift shop... whether or not it would be read. I can see why it would be fun to someone completely bored and young and free. Like when I was much younger and had to sit at a parent's friend's house, the boredom of being trapped in one space... I can see then how this book could be a day of activities that might help me forget I was trapped. But even still, does it lead anywhere in improving 'creativity'? Doesn't it fail in being unable like any other book might, in leaving some lasting reflection and change us as individuals?
