Pictures Speak Louder
Journals don't always have to be about words. Sometimes, a feeling is better captured by a color, a shape, or a random image.
The "No-Drawing" Visual Journal
Many people avoid visual journaling because they think they can't draw. But you don't need to draw to think visually.
How to use MiroCards for journaling:
- Reflect on your day - Close your eyes for a moment
- Draw a card - Find one that "feels" like your day
- Save it - Take a screenshot or just make a mental note
- Add a keyword - One word that anchors that feeling
Why It Helps
- Bypasses the inner critic: exact words can be hard to find; images are open to interpretation.
- Tracks patterns: Over a month, you might notice you're drawn to similar colors or shapes.
- It's fast: A visual check-in takes seconds but provides deep insight.
"I realized I kept picking 'stormy' images even on good days. It helped me realize I was stressed underneath the surface."
Your journal is for you. Let it be messy, abstract, and purely yours.
