Mrs Hannah MarshallJournaling Guide
“Wherever life takes you — a notebook and pen, always.”
Hi, I’m Hannah
My work explores journaling as a way to observe, reflect and move through life more consciously.
Alongside the resources here, I offer talks, podcast conversations, occasional workshops, online journaling and a limited number of 1:1 sessions.
Whether you’re new to journaling, looking to deepen your practice or simply curious about my work, I’d love to hear from you.
Who is journaling for?
Journaling is for anyone curious about themselves and the life they’re living.
You might be working through something, navigating change, creating something new, looking for greater clarity or simply wondering what comes next for you.
You don’t need to be a writer, have anything figured out or even own your own journal (yet). You just need somewhere to start and the willingness to try.
“The more deeply we understand ourselves, the more freely we can choose how we live in this world.”
Where to begin
Start by finding a notebook and a pen.
Any notebook will do. It doesn't matter what it looks like on the outside. Choose a pen that feels comfortable in your hand, with ink that flows easily across the page.
Always be honest and everything else will unfold from there.
A Conscious Life
Journaling is a simple practice that can help us feel more connected to ourselves and more conscious of how we live day-to-day.
Journaling is a place for growth, connection, creativity and change.
Journaling encourages us to explore and make sense of ourselves and our lives, while creating space to consider what else might be possible.
Journaling helps us understand where we've been, notice where we are and consider where we might go next.
By paying closer attention to our thoughts, feelings and experiences, we begin to recognise what matters to us and make more conscious choices.
Over time, journaling will support:
Trusting your inner voice — by writing and recognising what feels honest and true for you.
Imagining and growing — by exploring possibilities and creating space for change.
Finding clarity and balance — by understanding your thoughts, emotions, relationships and experiences more clearly.
Building confidence — by recognising your strengths, accepting your shortcomings and exploring what is inside or outside your control.
Reconnecting — by paying closer attention to yourself, your life and what gives it meaning.
“Journaling is a lifestyle choice. It helps gather our energy inward, bringing us back to ourselves.”
