25 Types of journals / journaling

25 Types of journals / journaling: 
This list is not to freak you out or imply you should be juggling all these journals of course . My intent is rather to show you that there are a multitude of different types of journals you can do and if when I or someone else says" journal" you think only of a general journal or a venting journal or goal journal etc. and, aren't turned on to do that so throw the concept of journaling away , that there's plenty of other cool possibilities. Perhaps ,something else would suit you better.
Tip: If you want to keep several sometimes a sectioned notebook such as the 3 or 5 section ones will work well . Other times you may feel you need more space per section or otherwise find individual journals work best or even just doing a combo journal .
frequent misconceptions about journaling :
1.-You aren't doing it right if you don't do it at a certain regularity (once a day , week ,etc. )
2.-There's only a few ways or one way to journal so , if you tried that and aren't keen on it you don't want to journal .
3.-You aren't good at writting or spelling so you can't keep one.
