Summary
On this episode of The Journaling Guy Podcast, I'm talking about starting the New Year in the best way possible; with a low-pressure approach to Journaling = START SMALL! The 3-Part Beginner-Friendly New Year Journaling Method 1. “How am I really?” No grand declarations, just an honest check-in. 2. “What do I need today?” A break? A conversation? Some fresh air? A decent meal? A nap? This keeps journaling grounded in your real life. 3. “What’s one small thing I can do to feel good about today?” One. Small. Thing. This sets the tone of self-respect for the year ahead. Today's Journaling Prompt is: Write for 6 minutes “If this year was about being kinder to myself, what would that look like?” Please get in touch with any questions and of course, your feedback too.
