## Resource

Season 3, Episode 5 On this episode of The Journaling Guy Podcast, I'm talking about How Journaling Can Reduce Stress - FACT! Journaling isn’t just about ' Reflection ', it's also about Science. Journaling, when it’s done properly, can genuinely reduce stress in your body and your mind, and that's exactly what we discuss on today's episode! Your Journaling Prompt for This Week is: Step 1: Write freely for 10–15 minutes, then... Step 2: Focus on one thing that’s been sitting with you - Go deeper! Step 3: Add this question at the end - “What am I actually feeling about this?” Step 4: Close with perspective - “What would a calmer version of me say about this?” ------------------ Please get in touch with any questions and of course, your feedback too. Email - hello@thejournalingguy.com If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with someone who might need a bit of space to think. Plus, please leave me a review, they matter for exposure reasons (so I'm told). Always remember... "keep writing, keep noticing, and keep showing up for yourself", Matt.
