(i’ve been struggling with finding new ideas for journals so i’ve compiled a list, hopefully this helps some of you fill those empty journals that i know are lying around <3)
➺ divination - tarot cards, oracle cards, pendulum, etc.
➺ dream journal - sleep tracker, dream entries, etc.
➺ astrology journal - horoscopes, birth charts, etc.
➺ plant journal - track watering schedule, plant correspondences, etc.
➺ occurrence journal - keep track of the things that happen to you & others, etc.
➺ body/self love journal - period tracker, meditation tracker, affirmations, etc.
➺ grimoire - for witches, or anyone interested in witchcraft. a place to keep sacred info. moon phases, herb correspondences, sabbats, etc.
➺ gratitude journal - a great way to cultivate a spirit of positivity and appreciation.
➺ blank journal - a journal with no theme, therefor the pages have endless possibilities.
➺ artistic journal - being an artist not required. draw anything in any style. it’s for your eyes only
➺ food journal - record recipes, favorite restaurants (pls be careful using food journals for those who struggle with eating disorders)
➺ book/reading journal - record when you read, what you read, and the thoughts you have during & after.
➺ personal junk journal - a way for those going through a rough time to release negative energy. a freeing way to cope while also getting stress off of your chest in one organized place.
➺ productivity journal - an amazing tool used to gain confidence when you set attainable and curated goals/to-do’s for yourself.
➺ finance journal - for those who have a hard time budgeting money (like me) or for people who like to keep track of the products & prices of things they buy for tax purposes.
➺ picture journal - a journal solely filled with pictures. use pictures of loved ones, pets, nature, etc. anything that you value.
➺ beauty journal - fill it with your favorite makeup/skin care products, self care routines, beautiful people you admire/love (but not people you envy! if that makes sense. we don’t want to compare ourselves, just to appreciate the beauty.)
➺ pet journal - a journal just for your pet! (much like a baby book) record firsts, milestones, save a little piece of fur, or a whisker, and gush about how much you love them. you’ll cherish it once they’ve passed <3
➺ favorite’s/about me journal - write down all of your favorite things (movies, shows, games, food, etc.) and write about yourself in depth. it’ll be fun to come back & look at how you & your personality have changed.
➺ favorite people journal - record all of your favorite people and the reasons why they’re your favorite. list your favorite features, quirks, etc. about them and keep adding to them over time! maybe even have them sign it, or draw a little picture on their page? also a great way to remember/honor someone when they’ve passed.
➺ music journal - if you’re a music lover like me you have hundreds of favorite songs, and a lot of those songs don’t fit into the current playlists you have. this is a perfect way to keep track of old songs/songs you might forget, and also a cool way to share new music with people!!
➺ hobbies journal - keep track of your hobbies and interests and record the dates. over the years it will be interesting to see hobbies you’ve kept and those you’ve tried.
i’ll update this if i can think of more!! <3 love u babies
god i love doomed romances because it’s like. “what is grief if not love persevering” but the grief and love are happening at the same time. how do you grieve something that’s still alive? how do you love something that has always been dead? and the answer is just. intensely.
