Love journaling? Here's a cute digital inspiration!

I adore journaling, whether it's scribbling in a notebook or tapping away digitally. Lately, I've been diving back into a notetaking app called Notion (rings any bells?) I'm not exactly a newbie, but let's just say, in the old days, I couldn't quite use it to its potentials yet because of how complex the software seems to be.

Navigating through a sea of its features felt like trying to empty the ocean with a fork 💀💀 But, after a few weeks of tinkering, I've created my very own template that I'm happy to share with you today! ( •̀ ω •́ )✧

I use this template to store all of my therapy entries, specifically psychotherapy and exposure therapy. I use two separates databases for both, as shown above.

I would use each entry to reflect on how the sessions go. I also add a property where I can track my symptoms, including physical reactions, along with anxiety and dissociation levels.

I'm very pleased with how this template turned out like! q(≧▽≦q) I chose the color baby blue to represent anxiety, but aesthetically speaking it looks so calming and gentle. All of the images I'm using for this template are coming from Pinterest, so with little knowledge of how Notion works, you can come up with your own aesthetic template. You just have to be creative enough to choose the layout and pictures.

1. Convenience and Portability: With digital journaling, you can write anytime, anywhere using your smartphone, tablet, or computer. There's no need to carry a physical journal or worry about finding a pen.
2. Writing Prompts and Guidance: Many digital journaling apps provide personalized writing prompts to help you get started and overcome writer's block.
3. Multimedia Integration: Digital journals allow you to embed photos, videos, voice recordings, and links. This can make your entries more vivid and comprehensive, capturing moments in ways that text alone cannot.
4. Enhanced Privacy and Security: Digital journals can be password-protected and encrypted, ensuring that your personal thoughts remain private.
5. Backup and Restoration: With cloud storage, your digital journal entries are automatically backed up. This means you won't lose your entries if your device is lost or damaged.
6. Environmental Impact: Digital journaling is more environmentally friendly as it reduces the need for paper and other physical materials.
7. Search and Organization: Digital journals often come with search functions and tagging options, making it easier to find specific entries or organize your thoughts by themes.

As all that being said, have I tempted you into trying out digital journaling, yet? 🙋‍♀️ if you have any questions about how to get started with journaling on your device, drop me a question down below! 💎✨ I will see you around~
