BLVD Journaling Tips

3-2-1 Method

Hey there! Have you heard of 3-2-1 Journaling? It’s a really easy and awesome habit to start your day on a positive note. Just take a few moments each morning to jot down three things you're grateful for, two things you're looking forward to, and one goal you want to tackle today. Give it a try—it's a simple way to set yourself up for a great day!

Triple 1 Method

Each evening, after your workday wraps up, take a few moments to open your journal and jot down three easy things: a highlight or win from your day, any tension or stress you experienced, and something you're genuinely grateful for. It only takes about five minutes, and it’s a lovely way to end your day.

Focused Journaling

This method perfect when you have a particular issue you want to sort out. Just pick the area you want to focus on—like work, relationships, love, health, or anything else on your mind—and start by writing down how you're feeling about it and what's been happening in your life lately. Sometimes, there's just one part of your life that needs some extra attention, and journaling can be a great way to explore and understand it better.

Poetic Journaling

Imagine combining the personal vibe of journaling with the beauty of poetry—that’s what poetic journaling is all about. It’s a wonderful way to go beyond just writing down what happens each day and instead turn your feelings, thoughts, and experiences into something really creative and meaningful. By adding vivid imagery, metaphors, and rhythm, this practice helps you connect more deeply with yourself, let go of emotional burdens, and find healing along the way.
