Is a 12-month journal journey right for you? Here's what to expect.

Journaling for a year seems like a big task, especially if you’ve never journaled before. But writing in your journal doesn’t have to feel like a chore. Journaling can be easy, fun and actually helpful when it comes to moving forward in life. The trick is to not take it too seriously and use it as a helpful tool you can use whenever you need it.

Discover the 12-Month Journal Journey

That’s exactly why I designed the 12-Month Journal Journey. It’s nothing too complicated. You focus on one area of life a month and write about it in your journal at your own pace. No pressure, no rules, just a few guidelines. So no worries! You don’t have to be a ‘professional’ journaler to join. All you need is a pen that feels good in your hand and an inviting notebook you can access whenever you want. I’ll send you the writing inspo.

Is the 12-Month Journal Journey good for you?

Great question! This journal journey is perfect for you if:

1. You want to discover what really matters to you through journaling.

2. You want to write without feeling the pressure to create the perfect journal.

3. You want to make a real connection with your head and heart through pen and paper.

4. You are tired of staring at empty pages in your journal because you don't know how to start.

5. You need gentle guidance to get you started.

6. You'd like to explore a new analog activity that also reduces screen time.

To be very clear: it doesn’t matter if you’ve never journaled in your life, or if you’ve been writing every day since you can remember. You’re most welcome to join if you want to figure out what really matters to you. Because that’s exactly what I constantly do through journaling. It’s why I designed the 12-Month Journal Journey through snail mail as a fun and helpful introduction to journaling and/or self-discovery. 

This journey is very close to my own. Actually, it's even better! Because I took all the lessons and prompts from my own secret journal, improved them for clarity, and now I'm sharing them with you. And as I’m writing this, I’m 30 days away from turning 38, so it’s safe to say I’ve lived a little. But I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up, haha! I also don’t care much for the standard life goals most people want to reach. 

I also want to keep figuring out what really matters to me when I feel the need, so I can be happy too. That’s why you can save everything you receive in the monthly envelopes for later. Because this 12-Month Journal Journey isn’t just snail mail with cute goodies. Nope, I will send you reusable journal tools for years to come. Check it out!

What you get with the 12-Month Journal Journey

The goal is to refresh your memory and discover what really matters to you by starting your own 12-Month Journal Journey through snail mail. This means you’ll get 12 envelopes throughout the year, one envelope a month. Each envelope contains a letter with examples from my actual life to spark inspiration for your own journal sessions. You also receive a journal prompt card, a mini workbook and a gift.

It puts a stop to searching and scrolling for hours just to find a random journal prompt that doesn't work. Instead you'll receive curated envelopes with everything you need to figure out what's right for you. Plus, it’s really fun to look forward to that pink envelope every month. It’s a little gift just for yourself, and it helps you to use your journal to:

1️⃣ Explore the most important areas of life, one area a month.

2️⃣ After 12 months, you'll have a beautiful overview of what really matters to you. And you've probably already taken some practical steps to enjoy those things. Yay!

3️⃣ During your journey you'll collect a reusable 12-card journal prompt deck and 12 mini workbooks you can revisit whenever you need inspiration.

Can I take a break during the 12 months?

Of course! I designed this journal journey through snail mail to relieve you from the pressure of performative journaling. If you need a break and you’re on the monthly subscription plan, you can pause or cancel through your account on mytruelife.nl. If you prepaid for the whole year, the envelopes keep coming until you’ve received all 12 of them. You can save them for later if you want, and open them when you’re ready.

So no worries, this really is a journey and you’re in charge. I am your tour guide for 12 months as I guide you through 12 of the most important life areas. You decide when, where and how you write in your journal. And the 12-Month Journal Journey may sound like a very big adventure, and it could be. But in the end, this is still a snail mail club and it’s meant to be fun and helpful. 

So nothing too complicated. Just one area of life you can write about in your journal at your own pace. No pressure, no rules, just a few guidelines.

Ready to start this fun adventure? Sign up right here and keep an eye out for that first pink envelope. I’m ready to stamp it, haha!
