Rachel's Journaling Journey
- Rachel Hollis recounts her journaling history from sporadic emotional meltdowns in her twenties to a consistent practice in her thirties.

Use Habit Stacking for Journaling
- Use a cue from an existing habit to trigger journaling, not a time limit.
- This habit stacking makes journaling feel like a gift, not a chore, easing consistent practice.
Make Journaling a Ritual
- Treat journaling as a ritual and a spiritual practice, not a task on your to-do list.
- Adjust frequency as needed, such as journaling weekly instead of daily if daily feels overwhelming.
