On how to effectively use journaling as self-care and reflection: Jasmin offered up her best tips and her favorite journal prompts. "If there's a particular problem you need to solve or something that you're thinking about, just start writing down your thoughts," she suggested. "Use it as a way to find clarity on anything that just gets stuck in your head. When you wake up in the morning, ask yourself, 'What do I want my day's intention to be? How did my day wrap up?' One journal prompt I love is 'What has made me happy today?' When you have it down on paper, it's a lot easier to work through it. A simple tip for someone who hasn't journaled before but wants to get started is to just start! Start really small, and build up consistency."
This Target Exclusive Guard Your Spirit Lined Spiral Journal ($13) is the perfect journal to put Jasmin's advice into practice.
