On this episode of The Journaling Guy Podcast, I'm talking about why December is the perfect time to start Journaling.

December gets a bit of a bad reputation. It’s either “the most magical time of the year”… or an emotional obstacle course. So, to help convince you that December is actually a great time of the year to start Journaling, here are three prompts for you.

Three Things to Journal About This Month

1. “What actually mattered this year?” - Not the goals you set in a burst of January optimism. The stuff that genuinely made life a little better.

2. “Where did I feel most like myself?” - Moments of honesty, calm, flow, or weird joy. These become signposts for next year.

3. “What am I carrying that I don’t want to bring into the new year?” - Old frustrations, outdated expectations, emotional clutter. Journaling is a brilliant place to put down the things you’re tired of holding.

If that feels like too much, why not just start Journaling today with this: Write for 5 minutes on this: “What surprised me about myself this year?” - Surprises reveal truths you didn’t see coming.

On this episode of The Journaling Guy Podcast I'm talking about Consistency!

Building Consistency is the key to many things in life, and Journaling is no exception.

How can we make it something we WANT to do regularly, in other words how do we make it a habit?

Here are your Practical Tips for Consistency:

1. Lower the bar
2. Pair it with something you already do
3. End on a positive

Also, try this prompt:

“When do I feel most ready to reflect, and how can I protect that time?”

On this episode I'm talking about The Morning Reset!

How a quick Journaling habit first thing in the morning, can change everything that comes after it.

Today's Main Prompt is:

1. “What do I want to focus on today?”
2. “What do I need to do to achieve that?”
3. “What’s one small thing that would make today a win?”

If you want to ease yourself in though, try this first thing tomorrow morning.

Before the day hijacks you, open your journal and maybe write "Today, I choose to…” and then complete that sentence. Let me know how you get on with these.
