Summary
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 - Old frustrations, outdated expectations, emotional clutter.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. Please get in touch with any questions and of course, your feedback too. Email - [email protected] If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with someone who might need a bit of space to think.
