How Journaling Helps Katie Seaman Stay Present

A mindfulness coach reflects on journaling, presence, and why she chooses Day One every day.

At Day One, we believe journaling is more than a habit—it’s a way of showing up to your life. But sometimes the best way to understand the value of journaling isn’t through a feature list or a how-to guide. It’s through a real story.

Katie Seaman is a mindfulness educator and coach who journals every day using Day One. For her, journaling is a tool for reflection and staying grounded in the present moment. In our first-ever customer story video, she shares how her practice has grown—and how Day One has become a trusted companion along the way.

“Journaling is very similar to mindfulness,” she says. “It offers us an opportunity to pause and notice how we are in the present moment.”

In our conversation on The Day One Podcast, Katie shares more about her approach to mindfulness, how she uses journaling, and why she printed a full year of entries to keep as a record of her life.

We’re honored to feature Katie and grateful to her for reminding us that the smallest daily choices can help us stay grounded in the only place life truly happens: the present moment.

This story marks the start of something new for us: a series that highlights how people from all walks of life are using Day One to live with greater clarity, meaning, and self-awareness.
