Summary
On this episode of The Journaling Guy Podcast, I'm talking about The February Dip. It's real, it happens to most of us and here's what you can do to fix it, through Journaling. HERE'S THIS WEEK'S JOURNALING EXERCISE: “The Reality Check” 1. What feels harder than you expected right now? Not what you think should be hard. What actually is. Be Brutally Honest. 2. What have you kept going with, even imperfectly? This is important. Not what you’ve mastered. Not what you’ve smashed. What have you stayed with . 3. What might you need more of — not less of? More rest? More structure? More patience? More kindness? Please get in touch with any questions and of course, your feedback too.
