3 Lo-fi YouTube Channels for Writing in Your Journal

Lofi Jams for Journaling

Sometimes we just need a little background music to get into our journaling jam.

This post is focused on some great head-nodding YouTube channels that don't break your stream-of-consciousness-journal-writing. Let's hit play for some stress reducing and mood improving lo-fi! (1)

First up is Corgi Chilling Channel. Do you really require more information?

Second up is Chilled Fire Channel. As of this writing, the posted video is 6 years old with 1.6 million views.

Last, we have Settle Channel. You can also listen to the channel on Spotify and Apple Music.

I'm a big fan of music and journaling. The creativity boost is well documented as well as mood enhancement. (2,3) So keep an open mind and try a little lo-fi next time, will ya?

Do you have preferred music to journal to? Please leave in the comments!
