The Art of Journaling — Tips, Types, Prompts and More

Why Journaling is a Powerful Practice

Journaling isn’t just for writers — it’s for anyone craving a moment of pause, reflection, or creativity in their day. Whether you're setting goals, processing emotions, or capturing life’s little joys, journaling gives your thoughts a home on paper.

Different Types of Journaling (Find Your Style)

Everyone journals differently — here are a few ideas to inspire:

  • Reflective Journaling — Great for processing feelings, lessons learned, and moments of growth.

  • Gratitude Journaling — A daily list of what you’re thankful for.

  • Creative Journaling — Think doodles, poems, or mixed media art.

  • Bullet Journaling — Organize your goals, habits, and life with structure.

  • Sticker Journaling — (My personal fave!) A space to collect visual mementos like tickets, photos, and yes, stickers that inspire you.

Pro Tip: Collect stickers that remind you of your resilience, creativity, and boldness. Our new "Resilient Sticker Set" was designed to be the perfect addition to your journal pages — art that sticks with you wherever you go.

Journal Prompts to Get You Started

Not sure what to write about? Try these:

What does resilience mean to me right now?

  • List 5 things that made you smile today.

  • Write a letter to your future self.

  • Describe a moment you felt unstoppable.

  • Create a vision board in your journal — using words, doodles, and stickers.

Your journal is yours — messy, beautiful, imperfect, and full of life, just like you. Keep writing. Keep creating. Keep collecting little reminders of your resilience along the way.

Stick with what inspires you.
