Whether your resolutions for 2019 include getting more organized or starting to focus on the positive things in your life, journaling can always help: just ask Oprah Winfrey.

“Sixteen years ago I started a gratitude journal, and I believe it was the single most important thing I’ve ever done,” Winfrey has previously said. “Every day, for years now, I’ve written down five things to be grateful for.”

Even Meghan Markle knows the power of a good journal—she reportedly gifted Kate Middleton with a dream diary for her birthday when they first met.

While journaling might seem daunting to start at first, scientific studies show that writing in a journal has health benefits, from reducing anxiety to actually boosting your immune system. The best part about journaling is that it can be anything you want it to be: keep it traditional with diary-like entries, get artsy with a bullet journal (meant to record anything and everything in your life, from water intake to recipes), or just jot down your daily plans.

The first step (and arguably the hardest!) is picking the perfect journal to meet your needs. We’ve done the work for you and roundup the best journals and planners on Amazon right now. Happy journaling!
