On this episode of The Journaling Guy Podcast (Season 3, Episode 15), I'm talking about Why Most People Stop Journaling and How to Make It Stick.

Most people who start journaling, Stop! Not after years. Not after months, it’s usually after just a few days. So, how do we make it stick?

There are 5 Main Reasons why people stop Journaling; many of us will have fallen into one or more of these categories at some point:

1. WE EXPECT TOO MUCH, TOO SOON
2. WE THINK WE’RE DOING IT WRONG
3. WE WAIT TO FEEL INSPIRED
4. WE ONLY JOURNAL WHEN LIFE FEELS DIFFICULT
5. WE MAKE IT TOO BIG

Have a listen to the episode to find out how you can make this fantastic habit, STICK!

On this episode of The Journaling Guy Podcast (Season 3, Episode 14), I'm talking about What Needs To Change in Your Life and How Journaling Can Help?

If you carried on living exactly as you are right now, where would you be this time next year? This is a BIG episode and one that you may need to listen to more than once.

Your Journaling Prompt for This Week is The Change Audit! Here is your 5-step Prompt.

1. What isn't working in my life right now?
2. What have I been tolerating for too long?
3. If nothing changed over the next 12 months, how would I feel?
4. What would "Future Me" thank Me for addressing today?
5. Finally, What is one small change I can make this week?

On this episode of The Journaling Guy Podcast (Season 3, Episode 13), I'm talking about What You're Really Avoiding that's probably run under your nose.

The truth about Avoidance is that it is CLEVER. It rarely announces itself, it turns up in disguise. It's disguised as being busy, being tired, or even as doom scrolling.

Your Journaling Prompt for This Week is called - FACING THE TRUTH!

1. What keeps showing up in my mind lately?
2. What am I distracting myself with instead?
3. What emotion am I trying not to feel?
4. If I was being brutally honest with myself, what would I admit right now?
5. What is one small thing I could face this week?

One email. One conversation. One appointment. One difficult truth written honestly on a page. Those small acts of honesty can change your life.
