Anyone have tips on how to make journaling a daily habit? I have always loved to write and want to make journaling a daily habit but find i start and stop when I want to do it more consistently. Any tips appreciated <3

Hiya @greenforest6471 nice to meet you! 💛

I feel as you do with journaling, it's an awesome way to keep in touch with ourselves, however the difficult part is often the consistency! Glad you're open to suggestions on maintaining the same though!

Have you tried journal apps? Some of these have the option to set a timed notification, say every day you'll receive a journal prompt or reminder at X time!

I feel, having a time set for something can be helpful in building a routine for it. Like how we usually have a fair routine for work, study, play, meal prep, eating, cleaning, doing chores etc on a normal day, setting a proper time for journaling might be useful in a nurturing habit! What do you think? :)
