8 weeks ago I picked up a journal after seeing this post from Alex | Easy Journal Ideas on social media. I have NEVER been someone who uses a journal, I have tried and also just hit a writers block thinking āWTF do I write about?ā This post by Alex | Easy Journal Ideas inspired me and I brought one initially with the plan to document my days and how I felt should I need to refer to it at future appointments, however what happened was even better. My daughter (5yr) also wanted one. So most nights after dinner she prompts me and says āmum can we do our journals?ā We take 10-15 mins and I will just recap the day, she will either draw or write stuff. Tonight she wrote this and said āthatās because I am always going to be your baby mummy!ā š„°š„° heart melt. Some days I have missed, I have run out of time and just carry on when I next get a chance. Itās not fancy, itās not insta worthy but itās time to PAUSE, unwind the day and get any thoughts out of the brain onto paper. If I had to do this alone it would never happen, but actually doing it with my daughter is super cute! Highly recommend, Iām enjoying it.
