How to Journal with Tattly
Journaling is an ancient practice invented by the Aztecs [citation needed] that has been proven to make resolutions stick and make intentions cement into the writer's or doodler’s life for good. For best effect, collect your supplies beforehand and find a deserted island on which to journal so you won’t be distracted.
Need some help getting started? Here are some tips from Tattly:
- Set your intentions, and make them empowering.
- Choose Tattly that reflect your hopes and dreams.
- Light some magical candles.
- Trim Tattly around the borders, and position them roughly on your journal pages, leaving room for notes, sketches, and white space.
- Get a snack.
- Add a little water to apply the Tattly to the page (don't forget to take off the plastic backing!) and seal your resolutions onto the page for good.
- Get another snack. Contemplate the cosmos.
- Use your art supplies or favorite pens to fill in the page. Quotes, notes, scribbles, lyrics, and poems work well here.
- Take a pic and share your journaled hopes, dreams, and secret family recipes with us at #Tattly and we promise we won't tell anyone. (Just kidding, we'll most likely repost them.)
