Most people have tried keeping a journal at one point in their life, starting as a tween/teen and either becoming a prolific diarist, or, more likely, giving up after filling up just a few pages. Now that we’re spending more time in front of screens, taking the time to write something with pen and paper isn’t just a welcome break from tech. Journaling is great for your mental health, as it helps you gain perspective, track your emotions, and get a better understanding of who you are.

But when you haven’t kept a journal in years, starting one can seem like a daunting task. And that’s where these guided journals can come in.
