Whatever the reason, it is still a good habit to include for self-improvement and better mental well-being . Another question that arises is how to make aesthetically pleasing journals. After all, that is the trend. People might say you cannot make beautiful bullet journals due to a lack of creative skills. However, you might find good uses for journaling to help relieve anxiety and stress. You can review your day and figure out what you need to improve on tomorrow. Just sit down at the end of the day with a pen and paper. Additionally, you won't have to look at more blue light, so your sleep will be better. So win-win, right?
