Need a mid-year reset? These 21 thoughtful questions to ask yourself will help you reflect, realign, and move forward with clarity.

Lately, I’ve been art journaling my to-do lists. It’s not a fancy list app. It’s not neat. But it’s helping me stay grounded and surprisingly, I’m actually getting things done.

I also am a self-proclaimed sticker lover. So combine a love of journaling and stickers and you get sticker journaling! Kind of silly, maybe a little childish, but somehow extremely satisfying and seriously underrated.

Not too long ago, I felt like I was constantly fighting with myself in my own head. Every time I tried to make art, start a project, or just, like, exist—there it was. That voice. Telling me I wasn’t good enough. Telling me I’d mess it up. Telling me not to even try. What would people think of me??

Whether you’re journaling from a beach towel, your desk fan’s direct path, or your kid’s blanket fort (same), I’ve got some fun ideas to help you capture the season and make your journal pages feel like summer in paper form.

Ever find yourself stuck, wondering where your next big idea is hiding? Yeah, me too. Creativity can be a total mystery sometimes, like it’s playing hide-and-seek with your brain.

Journaling should not feel like another task on your to-do list.
