Marvel Star Elizabeth Olsen's Transformative Journaling Ritual

According to a recent interview, actress Elizabeth Olsen has maintained a daily journaling practice for the past three years as an important self-care routine. The 36-year-old, who is known for her roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, says this habit helps her "slow everything down" and process both her personal life and professional work.

Olsen explains that her journaling covers a range of topics, from recounting the previous day's events to reflecting on her reading and work. She keeps three separate journals: one for personal matters, another specifically for developing her acting characters, and a third for general work-related thoughts. Olsen finds this compartmentalized approach "really helpful" for her acting projects, as it allows her to translate insights from her personal journal into her work.

The actress-producer believes journaling has been a transformative practice, enabling her to slow down her thought process and gain valuable discoveries that inform her creative work. As Olsen prepares for the release of her new film Eternity on November 26, she credits her daily journaling ritual as an essential part of her wellness routine and creative process.
