Speaker 1: you by, then you're in the right place. Hello everybody,
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the potty.
Speaker 2: In today's episode, I'm answering your quick fire questions about journaling.
Speaker 2: Journaling has honestly changed my life. It helps me get clear,
Speaker 2: manifest my desires, and unpack anything that I am currently processing.
Speaker 2: I also just find it super handy to get my
Speaker 2: thoughts and problems down on paper because it feels like
Speaker 2: it really has no power of me. Once I can
Speaker 2: look at it and I can unpack it and read
Speaker 2: it it. Honestly, it has been one of the most
Speaker 2: life changing tools and that's why I'm so passionate about it.
Speaker 1: So today we are.
Speaker 2: Chatting is journally important, the best ways to journal, how
Speaker 2: to fit journaling into your routine, how to embody what
Speaker 2: you're writing, and the best way to journal for manifestation guys.
Speaker 2: Just a reminder our life happens for me. Manifesting Journals
Speaker 2: are launching tonight at five pm Australian Eastern Standard time.
Speaker 2: If you're listening in real time.
Speaker 1: And they're bringing a friend along, so that a good friend,
Speaker 1: it's a really good friend.
Speaker 2: It's really it's a best friend, guys. The Manifesting with
Speaker 2: Momentum Masterclass is also launching, and basically I just felt
Speaker 2: really cooled to create this masterclass because we've had a
Speaker 2: lot of conversations in the office and if you guys
Speaker 2: know the project, my signature manifesting course, it's seven weeks long.
Speaker 2: We've had thousands of women do it.
Speaker 1: It is so incredible. We have the most amazing testimonials.
Speaker 1: And something that I've chatted to the girls about in
Speaker 1: the office is how in the course, I give you
Speaker 1: my ten step formula to manifesting, and I also give
Speaker 1: that to you in the Life Happens for Me journals.
Speaker 1: But I explained to the girls, like, I don't sit
Speaker 1: there and write down the ten steps anymore because there's
Speaker 1: gotten to a point in my manifesting journey where I
Speaker 1: am able to basically collapse time and integrate my manifesting formula.
Speaker 1: So it just feels second nature and I'm able to
Speaker 1: like manifest things twenty four to seven. And they were
Speaker 1: all like, you need to do a teaching on this,
Speaker 1: because I sit there every time I'm doing that, you like,
Speaker 1: help us please, And I was like, all right, let's
Speaker 1: do it. And I it's so since I sat down
Speaker 1: to work on this master class, I am just like,
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with the process of co creating with something
Speaker 1: that is not you and being able to attract things
Speaker 1: in your life and being able to share this with
Speaker 1: you guys, because it has transformed my life. Is changed
Speaker 1: my life, and it's really interesting because I was telling a.
Speaker 2: Tear off air, Like I did a post the other
Speaker 2: day about for my parents' sixtieth it.
Speaker 1: Was so cute, so cute, So.
Speaker 2: I fully organized and paid for their accommodation in New
Speaker 2: Zealand and all of like our dinners and everything in
Speaker 2: New Zealand, and then I surprised mom and Dad with
Speaker 2: a private chef experience.
Speaker 1: For their sixtieth and it was so special and such like.
Speaker 2: A core memory for me because my parents absolutely did
Speaker 2: everything for me growing up and gave me so much
Speaker 2: love and so much support, and they literally the best
Speaker 2: people and even though though maybe didn't give me the
Speaker 2: greatest money beliefs, which I described in the post, because
Speaker 2: it's funny. My mum literally said on that trip, she
Speaker 2: finds it so funny that people think I came from
Speaker 2: like a rich family or I've just like been given things,
Speaker 2: because she's like, we have such a scarcity mindset with
Speaker 2: money and they're so frugal and I'm like, obviously so
Speaker 2: different now, yeah, but that's what I grew up with,
Speaker 2: so she just she thinks it's like really hilarious. And
Speaker 2: that's kind of what I'm saying in the post of
Speaker 2: my favorite thing about being able to create this level
Speaker 2: of abundance and wealth is things like this, like being
Speaker 2: able to provide my parents with an experience they would
Speaker 2: never pay for themselves, and being able to, yeah, like
Speaker 2: just have experiences that you've you know, maybe always dreamed
Speaker 2: and wanted but never been able to have.
Speaker 1: And that's just my favorite part about manifestation.
Speaker 2: And that's what I said in the post of I
Speaker 2: used to have the same beliefs my parents did, and
Speaker 2: that's you know why.
Speaker 1: They have their certain reality. And I had to change
Speaker 1: those beliefs and I had to block myself on all
Speaker 1: the things of you know what I teach you guys
Speaker 1: about manifestation, and now I have a completely different reality.
Speaker 1: And it's so clear to me what can happen when
Speaker 1: you do change your internal belief system and how much
Speaker 1: it starts internally. Sometimes that's hard for people to comprehend
Speaker 1: or even be okay with. And so that's like.
Speaker 2: This is why I do the rise and Conquer side
Speaker 2: of things, because I'm like, no, no, no, you can
Speaker 2: like trust me, you can have it too, Like it
Speaker 2: gets to be so amazing. Anyway, that was a bit
Speaker 2: of a rent, But the master class is all about
Speaker 2: integrating your manifestation practice. So basically you can manifest faster,
Speaker 2: you can integrate things, and it become it can become
Speaker 2: second nature, so you're always attracting exactly what you want
Speaker 2: rather than manifesting feeling like I don't know, I feel
Speaker 2: what we've gathered from the RNC group is like people
Speaker 2: will be able to manifest something.
Speaker 1: But then it's like they full off the bandwagon and
Speaker 1: they're not able to consistently hold the habits and the
Speaker 1: practices and exactly.
Speaker 2: So that's what we're going through in this master class,
Speaker 2: which I am so excited about. And just an FYI
Speaker 2: because We've had a couple of questions about if I've
Speaker 2: done the project, is it the same thing. It is
Speaker 2: literally completely different in the way of I recorded the
Speaker 2: project literally two or three years ago, so think of
Speaker 2: like what I have learned and processed and been through
Speaker 2: since then. And that's you know, what you're getting in
Speaker 2: this masterclass. But also if you have never done the
Speaker 2: project or even never done manifesting, you're still going to
Speaker 2: find this so helpful because it's going to make sense
Speaker 2: to you like I've made sure so yes, that is
Speaker 2: all going live today at five pm. There is limited
Speaker 2: journals and limited spots. So if it sounds like something
Speaker 2: you're into, don't.
Speaker 1: Wait, get on it, on it before we get into it. Yes, weekly, Rex,
Speaker 1: what's yours? You're a person that I'll go. I was
Speaker 1: gonna say working out in the morning. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: are you working out in the morning? Tea? I went
Speaker 1: to gym at five thirty this morning, pilarates. How good
Speaker 1: is it? It's so good because it's like when I
Speaker 1: get to go home, I'm done, Like I don't have
Speaker 1: to worry about getting to the gym or anything. And
Speaker 1: it's sometimes for me like it's just so early because
Speaker 1: I had to get up at four but got to
Speaker 1: pilates at five point thirty, and I kind of forgot
Speaker 1: that I did it because it's like I'm half sleeping
Speaker 1: on I don't know. I don't know if that's just
Speaker 1: a me thing. But are you doing it close to
Speaker 1: your house? No? I did it at Hustle. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: what a vibe. I know, it was amazing. That's a
Speaker 1: vibe oft shit I've ever got to go stand on
Speaker 1: the beach after like it was. Yeah, this is why
Speaker 1: you work at the Gold Coast. I know. I can't
Speaker 1: believe make work out in the mornings.
Speaker 2: Like I, it is beyond me how you can work
Speaker 2: all day and then have the mental capacity and then
Speaker 2: go work out.
Speaker 1: Well that was the thing. It was always such a battle. Always.
Speaker 1: Now I get to just go home and chill, cook dinner.
Speaker 1: My life's changed. I really love this for you. I'm
Speaker 1: finally on the morning. How long have you been working
Speaker 1: here for the podcast? Because I've been preaching this for
Speaker 1: a very long time. I feel like Tim this time
Speaker 1: last year. Oh my fucking god, are you ready for this?
Speaker 1: Tim Goes. I know we're going on France. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: they want to know. Tim Goes, Oh my god, I'm
Speaker 1: reading this book and it's so or something. No, it's
Speaker 1: it's the Way of the Superior Man. Oh I look.
Speaker 2: So my coach was like Tim would love this book.
Speaker 2: Get him to read it. And I said it to
Speaker 2: him like six months ago.
Speaker 1: And then his coach was like, You've got to read
Speaker 1: this book. And I'm like, you realized that was the
Speaker 1: book I recommended to you six months ago. He's like,
Speaker 1: oh really, I'm like, oh, nothing annoys anymore, but sure,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you have this one. My recommendation. I
Speaker 1: am currently loving.
Speaker 2: I have a phone free zone when I get in bed.
Speaker 2: So I used to be like very good of getting
Speaker 2: off my phone at like seven seven thirty, but I
Speaker 2: would still get in bed, go on for a little bit,
Speaker 2: check my posts, and.
Speaker 1: Then get off it.
Speaker 2: But no, it's like, if I'm in bed, i cannot
Speaker 2: be on social media. That's like a hard rule for
Speaker 2: me right now. And it's so good. So I have
Speaker 2: been reading my kindle. Love that I have a kindle,
Speaker 2: by the way, That is my recommendation.
Speaker 1: But I've also got the book.
Speaker 2: Been reading books before bed, and the book that I
Speaker 2: have just finished is called Buy Back Your Time by
Speaker 2: Dan Martel, and it's basically how to utilize your time
Speaker 2: better as a business owner. Oh it's very interesting, very niche,
Speaker 2: very niche to me specifically, but look, if you want.
Speaker 1: To, Yeah, is it kind of like how to use
Speaker 1: people in your team and stuff to maximize your time?
Speaker 1: Oh no, yeah, kind of. It's more about letting go control,
Speaker 1: which was very helpful to me. Interesting because I struggle
Speaker 1: with that.
Speaker 2: But yeah, that is. It's a very niche recommendation. But
Speaker 2: I have finished that, and I am currently reading another
Speaker 2: book that's really really good. But I just want to
Speaker 2: finish it and then I'll recommend it. Yeah, so look
Speaker 2: out for the next recommendation.
Speaker 1: All right, should we get into the episode. Yes, So
Speaker 1: our first question is how to get started. For anyone
Speaker 1: who hasn't journaled before and have no idea what to write,
Speaker 1: how much to write, and when to journal?
Speaker 2: Well, you bloody to get a Life Happens for Me journal.
Speaker 2: Literally answer all your questions in there.
Speaker 1: And that's doesn't it.
Speaker 2: Well, that's it is why we created the Life Happens
Speaker 2: for Me journal because for me, journaling has been in
Speaker 2: practice that I have done, you know, for the last
Speaker 2: eight years, and it comes very naturally to me now,
Speaker 2: but in saying that, it never used to. So we
Speaker 2: created the Life Happens for Me Journal. So it's like,
Speaker 2: let's actually make this a happen. Let's make this routine,
Speaker 2: and in it we have you know, how do you start?
Speaker 2: We have a Dear Future Me letter, We go through
Speaker 2: a manifesting formula. We also have a prompt glossary. So
Speaker 2: that's something I always.
Speaker 1: Recommend for new journalis of just use prompts. It's going
Speaker 1: to really help you have a structure, it's going to
Speaker 1: help you have a process. And then you're going to
Speaker 1: transcend that process and you're going to just naturally journal.
Speaker 1: But I do find you need to start with something
Speaker 1: that is actually going to give you those deeps else
Speaker 1: And I think also a big thing with journaling is
Speaker 1: people can think there's a right and wrong way, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and there's not. It's really if you think about basically
Speaker 1: the point of journaling is it's a tool to either
Speaker 1: help you unpack something, help you work through something, assist
Speaker 1: in your manifestation practice, assist in your gratitude practice. It's
Speaker 1: a tool.
Speaker 2: And I think that's the big thing is like journaling
Speaker 2: isn't the end goal. Journaling is something you use to
Speaker 2: get the end goal. If that makes sense.
Speaker 1: Yes it does. So is it sort of more about
Speaker 1: when you're journaling, being clear, am I journaling right now
Speaker 1: to release? Am I journaling right now for manifestation? Am
Speaker 1: I journaling to unpack a trigger? And then using obviously
Speaker 1: a fitting method for each thing, because if you're journaling
Speaker 1: to release, you're not really going to need to look
Speaker 1: back at it much. It's more about getting it out
Speaker 1: of your body exactly.
Speaker 2: And that's the thing is you're not going to always
Speaker 2: journal for the exact same reason. So it might be
Speaker 2: a simple of I need to get these thoughts out
Speaker 2: of my head. I need to feel a release, so
Speaker 2: that's why your journal or yeah, like I need to
Speaker 2: manifest something, so I'm going to go through my manifestation process.
Speaker 2: And it's really journaling is just the most beautiful tool
Speaker 2: to connect to yourself.
Speaker 1: It is. That's what I use it for.
Speaker 2: Is really in those moments of how do I actually feel,
Speaker 2: how do I want to be?
Speaker 1: What do I want? You know, like all those things.
Speaker 2: And it's funny because I actually did a story the
Speaker 2: other day because I was doing some journaling on the beach,
Speaker 2: and I sat on the beach and I was like
Speaker 2: what do I want to journal about? And I just
Speaker 2: kind of like intuitively was like, okay, what's going to
Speaker 2: come to me? And obviously this again i'm longer in
Speaker 2: my journaling practice. Yeah, and for me in that moment,
Speaker 2: it was I actually just want to be clear on
Speaker 2: what's working and what's not.
Speaker 1: So I literally had two pages what's working, what's not.
Speaker 2: I went through relationships, I went through you know, my boundaries, business, friendships,
Speaker 2: all the things, and just like wrote some things and
Speaker 2: I then looked at.
Speaker 1: The paper and I was like, oh wow, this.
Speaker 2: Is really cool evidence or like okay, cool, Now I
Speaker 2: can use this to decide what's next. But a lot
Speaker 2: of people have all these thoughts and feelings in their
Speaker 2: head and they never get it down, so they can
Speaker 2: never make like intention with moving forward.
Speaker 1: If that makes sense.
Speaker 2: It does so that I would call that probably like
Speaker 2: refinement journaling. And I'm constantly refining because otherwise we're always
Speaker 2: going to change and evolve no matter what. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: I just like to be really intentional about that change.
Speaker 1: I love that because it's almost that thing of you'll
Speaker 1: be chatting to someone or thinking about something and you
Speaker 1: have this really great aha moment and then you forget it. Yes,
Speaker 1: but if you write it down, you'll, like I find
Speaker 1: even when I write things down, I don't really need
Speaker 1: to go back to look at it because I just
Speaker 1: remember it because I wrote it down.
Speaker 2: Yes, It's like it's almost like an integration process.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a bit. What our next question is, how
Speaker 1: can you stay consistent with journaling? Well, this is the
Speaker 1: big thing, So I guess like it needs to become
Speaker 1: a habit for you, and habits are just what is
Speaker 1: important to you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So is it more important to go on your
Speaker 2: phone and scroll on social media at night before you
Speaker 2: go to bed, or is it more important for you
Speaker 2: to get your mindset and mental health right before you
Speaker 2: go to bed? Do you mean and like actually asking
Speaker 2: it that way rather than oh, do I want to
Speaker 2: go on my phone or do I want to like
Speaker 2: journal and deciding that I I guess like for me,
Speaker 2: I have made things a habit and now it's just
Speaker 2: like I just do those things because I know that,
Speaker 2: you know, my future self is going to thank me,
Speaker 2: or it.
Speaker 1: Just feels good for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think it's about having discipline. No, we
Speaker 2: don't like that word having you know, discipline at the
Speaker 2: start so you can.
Speaker 1: See the results. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So then you're like, oh, well, I know if I
Speaker 2: go on my phone and scroll, I'm going to get
Speaker 2: into this loop of comparison.
Speaker 1: I then have a really shitty sleep. I then wake
Speaker 1: up grumpy. I then have probably a shit day the
Speaker 1: next day. But then I also know if I sit
Speaker 1: here and I unpack things and I feel grateful and
Speaker 1: I get clear on my desires, I wake up feeling
Speaker 1: really good. But until you have that evidence, you're not
Speaker 1: going to pick the better option. If that makes sense.
Speaker 2: So it's about being disciplined enough to be like, Okay,
Speaker 2: well i'm gonna set my alarm, I'm gonna journal, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna do this for a week straight, and then I'm
Speaker 2: gonna see how I feel. And usually you'll have so
Speaker 2: much evidence that it feels good that you will just
Speaker 2: choose that thing. And I think it's also just about
Speaker 2: bringing some consciousness into your routine.
Speaker 1: So are you just on this ever.
Speaker 2: Ending loop of just oh, I just jump in bed
Speaker 2: and I get on my phone because it's like what
Speaker 2: you do, it's just what I do, or and this
Speaker 2: is something you can do of like auditing your routine
Speaker 2: every moment, like go to pick up your phone and
Speaker 2: be like do I need to go on here? Am
Speaker 2: I messaging my boss? Or you know, am I doing this?
Speaker 2: Am I messaging? Am I looking at Ivy on the
Speaker 2: baby camera? Like what am I actually doing.
Speaker 1: On my phone?
Speaker 2: And being conscious about that rather than being this like
Speaker 2: it's kind of like you're a hamster on a wheel.
Speaker 2: So just bringing some awareness and consciousness into your routine
Speaker 2: and making the decision for your future self rather than
Speaker 2: that dopemin hit right now.
Speaker 1: I love that it's kind of like living your life
Speaker 1: and not watching other people live there. I know, I
Speaker 1: always I think about that all the time and also think, guys,
Speaker 1: is like I'm not saying social media is bad, Like,
Speaker 1: clearly love social media and I use it and it
Speaker 1: can be a really great tool. But it's also about
Speaker 1: it's kind of like I've been really leaning into this
Speaker 1: concept of mothering myself. So it's this is so side note,
Speaker 1: but I've been going really into like the female archetypes
Speaker 1: of like the maiden, the mother, the wild woman, the temptress, anyway,
Speaker 1: a whole lot of things, but you know, the mother.
Speaker 1: A way to step into your mother archetype is mothering yourself. Wow,
Speaker 1: so kind of being like, you know, for example, if
Speaker 1: your three year old was like, oh, I'm gonna scroll
Speaker 1: my phone before bed, would you be like, yeah, honey,
Speaker 1: sounds great, Like this is funny because this is what
Speaker 1: my mom says to me. I still live. If you're
Speaker 1: like a tea, just use your actual mom because that's perfect.
Speaker 1: But if you're like me that your mom doesn't live
Speaker 1: with you and.
Speaker 2: You have a daughter, use yourself as your mother and
Speaker 2: be like, you know, to mother myself. Right now, what
Speaker 2: would I actually do because your mom always wants the
Speaker 2: best for you, the best for you and the highest
Speaker 2: version of yourself. And that's even something really interesting I've
Speaker 2: been doing.
Speaker 1: Is like, oh, how could I actually mother myself right
Speaker 1: now and make that choice? I love. I love that
Speaker 1: shift in thought too. Yeah, that's really it. Kind of
Speaker 1: instead of being like I need to be disciplined, it
Speaker 1: feels better of being like, oh, I'm actually being really
Speaker 1: like nourishing to myself and it feels better. Wow, random, random,
Speaker 1: ped I love it, but we love it. Our next question,
Speaker 1: should you meditate before journaling or listen to music while journaling? Either? All? Either? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Like that's what I mean, guys, is like there's actually
Speaker 1: no right or wrong and it's just whatever you want
Speaker 1: to do to get on the vibe. For example, if
Speaker 1: you are feeling not really super scattered and not grounded,
Speaker 1: I would meditate before journaling. You're probably going to get
Speaker 1: a lot more out of it, as like quite the mind,
Speaker 1: get into that spot. Yeah, and you're probably.
Speaker 2: Going to get a lot more out of your journaling practice.
Speaker 2: I personally listen to really beautiful music when I journal
Speaker 2: It's just like it's a bit of a vibe for me.
Speaker 2: But really there's like I said, there's no right or wrong.
Speaker 1: What do you like doing it to your I am,
Speaker 1: I've been journaling before bed at the moment, so it'll
Speaker 1: be once I've like set my alarm on my phone
Speaker 1: because that's obviously the last thing I do on my
Speaker 1: phone every night, pop non charge in that stays a
Speaker 1: little bit further away from me. My journal sits on
Speaker 1: my bedside table, and I'll get my journal out, I'll
Speaker 1: light a little candle. I'll have like my cup of
Speaker 1: tea or moon milk, so it's like just a very
Speaker 1: relaxing experience. I don't listen to music when I do,
Speaker 1: because I just get so distracted and pulled into music
Speaker 1: sometimes and I'll just like get stuck listening and I
Speaker 1: won't actually be thinking. So for me to like mindfully journal,
Speaker 1: I need silence. So it's just yeah, lights are off,
Speaker 1: just a candle and then I just journal. And sometimes
Speaker 1: I know this is like a bit of a tangent,
Speaker 1: but sometimes even with my manifestation journaling, I'll just draw
Speaker 1: a really bad picture of what I want, like oh
Speaker 1: my God, instead of writing it, I just draw myself
Speaker 1: with the thief I'm just imagining, like linterly is, and
Speaker 1: I do like big circles for hair and stuff, but
Speaker 1: sometimes for me that's it. That's all I do when
Speaker 1: I journal is draw a nice picture. I love that,
Speaker 1: and I like write little labels. I'm like my car,
Speaker 1: big house. Love that. Yeah, that's just sort of what
Speaker 1: I found work for me. But that's like, that's the
Speaker 1: beauty of journalist. Is like, if that's the vibe you need,
Speaker 1: someone finds my journal one day, someone clearly gave us
Speaker 1: to their kids. That was funny. Our next question, has
Speaker 1: journaling changed your life?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, completely, Like I said, it has been
Speaker 2: such a tool for me in so many different ways.
Speaker 2: I it's interesting. I had a lot of journals growing up,
Speaker 2: and they were very like I went to the beach
Speaker 2: today and yeah. And then then it's really interesting because
Speaker 2: I was always really interested in writing and journaling a bit.
Speaker 2: Probably when I was like eleven or something, I kind
Speaker 2: of stopped and obviously, you know, school gets more hectic,
Speaker 2: and I remember then I didn't pick up journaling until
Speaker 2: I was like twenty two or something, and then I.
Speaker 1: Just fell back in love.
Speaker 2: I've always loved books and reading, and so I love
Speaker 2: a place that I can put my words, i can
Speaker 2: put my creativity. I can like I've I don't know,
Speaker 2: I've just I've found it such a tool to connect
Speaker 2: to myself and it's just been such, yeah, a beautiful
Speaker 2: experience for me that has evolved. And I love journaling
Speaker 2: because there's no expectation. Yeah, no one's reading this. I
Speaker 2: don't even reread it. Sometimes it's something, you know, just
Speaker 2: for me. And again, it's just like it's been a
Speaker 2: really beautif thing to get my thoughts out into paper.
Speaker 2: Like you know, I'm if sometimes I'm feeling super anxious
Speaker 2: and then I put the thoughts out into paper and
Speaker 2: I re read it and I'm like, oh, it's okay, Georgia,
Speaker 2: you know. And then I'm I'm able to use it
Speaker 2: as a tool and then, you know, my favorite thing
Speaker 2: to do is just like journal about what I'm manifesting
Speaker 2: and like be and like embody that and be like
Speaker 2: oh my god, and then this happens and I feel
Speaker 2: like this and it like i feel like I'm going
Speaker 2: to another place and it really helps me embody and
Speaker 2: get on the vibe of what I want to manifest.
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's been such an incredible tool. And again
Speaker 2: it's just there's something creative and like connecting about journaling
Speaker 2: for me personally that I've I've just fallen in love
Speaker 2: with and it's yeah, it's definitely changing my life.
Speaker 1: What about you? Well, I was really similar Like growing up,
Speaker 1: I had heaps of like books that I would write in,
Speaker 1: but it was very like reflective of my day. And
Speaker 1: I also was like the most paranoid little child ever
Speaker 1: and didn't want my mom or my sister or my
Speaker 1: dad reading any of it because sometimes I'd be mean
Speaker 1: things about the do you ever have like one of
Speaker 1: those little does the voice activated was in a lock. Look,
Speaker 1: I was so paranoid. I had a journal that had
Speaker 1: a lock on it. I kept the key on me
Speaker 1: and I wrote in like invisible ink. Do you know
Speaker 1: those pens? And they had the light on the back
Speaker 1: and you had to shine to read writing enough, I
Speaker 1: honestly don't know heelarious. So I also can't read any
Speaker 1: of them back really tell you what's in there. But
Speaker 1: I think now I've started to get into more more
Speaker 1: into journaling and a block or weird thing that I
Speaker 1: had that I've realized is like I used to love
Speaker 1: doing like our course workbooks, but I never equated that
Speaker 1: to journaling, but it is journaling. It's just prompted journaling. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so I think I'm very much still in the
Speaker 1: phase of like doing very prompted journaling about things. Or
Speaker 1: sometimes when I just have a really really strong feeling
Speaker 1: that I just don't want to keep it inside anymore,
Speaker 1: I'll write it in my journal. And it's just interesting
Speaker 1: sometimes to like go back to some of these pages
Speaker 1: and go, oh, like really interesting that I was feeling
Speaker 1: that way about my friend that day or about my
Speaker 1: body that day, and that's actually really negative and I
Speaker 1: shouldn't feel that way about things. And I am able
Speaker 1: to almost Another thing that I like to do is
Speaker 1: like when I write something really negative, leave space underneath
Speaker 1: and I'll almost respond back to it on a different
Speaker 1: day when I'm in a better headspace. And that's really
Speaker 1: helped me. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think it's also really beautiful seeing your evolution.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy. I'll go through my journal from the
Speaker 1: start of the year and like just even seeing the
Speaker 1: mindset I was in about a certain topic and then
Speaker 1: to now be where I am and be like, oh, wow,
Speaker 1: that doesn't even bother me anymore. Yeah, I've fully integrated.
Speaker 2: That or you know those moments. It's such a beautiful
Speaker 2: tool because I think sometimes we forget what we've been through, yeah,
Speaker 2: and what has been in our head and what we
Speaker 2: have moved through, and we can be like, oh, I'm
Speaker 2: not evolving, I'm.
Speaker 1: Not you know, I'm stagnant. And then you go read
Speaker 1: an old journal and and you're like, holy, she's a
Speaker 1: long way. Yea.
Speaker 2: Even when you go and read oh my favorite things.
Speaker 2: When you go read something it was, you know, your
Speaker 2: manifestation and then you've manifested it, yeah, and you're like, oh,
Speaker 2: that's beautiful.
Speaker 1: The next question is I love this one very interesting?
Speaker 1: What's more productive a journal to dump all of your
Speaker 1: bad feelings or a more positive manifesting approach.
Speaker 2: I don't think journaling should have the outcome of being
Speaker 2: productive interesting, And that's what and that's what I'm trying
Speaker 2: to get at is if you're journaling from a oh
Speaker 2: what can I be to be more productive? I don't
Speaker 2: think you're going to enjoy it, and like, I think
Speaker 2: you need to retract even that.
Speaker 1: What's going to be more productive? Yeah, because journaling is a.
Speaker 2: Tool that it's going to change time to time. So
Speaker 2: you know, if we are talking what's more productive. One day,
Speaker 2: it's going to be more productive to get out of
Speaker 2: the bad feelings because you're in a really low vibe.
Speaker 1: And then the other day, you know, you're in a.
Speaker 2: Neutral state and it's going to be better to talk
Speaker 2: about your manifestations because it's going to put you into
Speaker 2: a higher vibe.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I.
Speaker 2: Just I don't think there's any right or wrong with journaling. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and I think be try and be a bit fluid.
Speaker 2: Like if you're still at the prompts stage of journaling,
Speaker 2: that's amazing. But even like you know, maybe you do
Speaker 2: five days of prompts and then then maybe the next
Speaker 2: day you're like, oh, I'm not going to use prompts.
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna see what happens, and you just try
Speaker 2: and test different things. But like both of those approaches
Speaker 2: can be beautiful at different times.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, I totally agree in one thing I love
Speaker 1: about prompts and especially the life Happens for Me journal
Speaker 1: There are so many that sometimes the prompts will lead
Speaker 1: you to unpacking something and maybe going a bit deeper
Speaker 1: and like talking about the bad things. But sometimes the
Speaker 1: prompts are there to help you get high vibe so
Speaker 1: I think it's less about whether it's unpacking bad things
Speaker 1: or talking about good things and just looking at the
Speaker 1: situation that you're in that you want to journal on
Speaker 1: and then do what's best for that situation at that time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, guys, So I'm going to read a couple from
Speaker 2: the prompts and glossary just so you kind of if
Speaker 2: you don't understand what we're saying by prompts. So you know,
Speaker 2: like there's the titles of like knowing your next step,
Speaker 2: and then there's about seven prompts underneath that manifesting your
Speaker 2: every desire, and then there's seven prompts shifting into a
Speaker 2: high vibe, tapping into your intuition, letting go of something,
Speaker 2: stepping into your next level, self alignment, core beliefs, finding
Speaker 2: your Why, daily prompts for beginners, surrendering, rewriting, limiting beliefs,
Speaker 2: going deeper, and self reflection, healing and self love. There's
Speaker 2: literally over a hundred prompts. There's once about grief, there's
Speaker 2: ones about closure, and really just I would go through
Speaker 2: to the prompt section and be like, what do I
Speaker 2: need right now? Yeah, and pick that and go through
Speaker 2: the questions. Also, another thing with journaling is I don't
Speaker 2: know if you felt like there's a tear, but like,
Speaker 2: sometimes if I'm doing prompts, there's a certain prompt and
Speaker 2: I straight away I'm like, nah, don't want.
Speaker 1: To do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know what that means, guys, you have
Speaker 2: to do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: If you're feeling resistant towards a certain prompt, it's because
Speaker 2: you're about to unpack something that you probably don't want
Speaker 2: to unpack, or look at something you don't want to
Speaker 2: look at. And so I highly recommend the you know,
Speaker 2: even in the prompts glossary, you know, the prompt that
Speaker 2: you're like, nah, I don't want to do it makes
Speaker 2: you do it, yeah, because that on it. That's like
Speaker 2: every time that I've felt that feeling and then done it,
Speaker 2: I've been like, wow, life changing kind of thing.
Speaker 1: And my thing with that too is sometimes like, especially
Speaker 1: if you're journaling at the end of the day, you
Speaker 1: might genuinely not have the time or capacity to unpack that,
Speaker 1: but highlight it, write it down, and make sure you
Speaker 1: do it that week, like it needs to be done soon.
Speaker 1: But just knowing when and where is important. Yeah, Definitely.
Speaker 1: The next question I suffer from pretty severe anxiety, overthinking
Speaker 1: and constantly have my mind racing full of thoughts. I
Speaker 1: struggle to stop, slow down and actually think about where
Speaker 1: to start. Any tips. I think getting it all out
Speaker 1: would actually help me a lot. Definitely, start journaling.
Speaker 2: It's going to be such a beautiful practice to calm
Speaker 2: your mind. And like I said, that's personally what I
Speaker 2: use journaling or for a very long time of just
Speaker 2: getting thoughts.
Speaker 1: Out so I could actually be like especially because I
Speaker 1: feel like a lot of the anxious thoughts that I
Speaker 1: previously had they were very much about control.
Speaker 2: So you know, it's often I'm feeling anxious about something
Speaker 2: I can't even control. And I think that's a huge
Speaker 2: realization that I used to have all the time of
Speaker 2: like putting it down on paper and being like, I
Speaker 2: literally can't control this thing. And also I know, coming
Speaker 2: back to the why of like why do I feel
Speaker 2: a need to control everything? And this is going on
Speaker 2: a bit of a tangent, but personally in my journey,
Speaker 2: any time that I'm in a sense of control, it's
Speaker 2: because I don't feel safe within my body and myself.
Speaker 2: So any time that you're trying to control all the
Speaker 2: external is and again I'm not a professional, but from
Speaker 2: my experience is this thing of I don't feel safe
Speaker 2: in myself, so I'm trying to grab onto control.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to.
Speaker 2: Grab on to, you know, something external to make me
Speaker 2: feel good and solid because I didn't feel solid in myself.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So instead of like actually dealing with what's going
Speaker 1: on inside and taking control of yourself, you're just latching
Speaker 1: onto any other thing that you could control.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which makes you feel more anxious because you actually
Speaker 2: can't control anything. So I think that's what I'm saying
Speaker 2: is I think what you'll actually start to find is
Speaker 2: when you put a practice like this in place, it's
Speaker 2: less you feel less anxious because you're more connected to
Speaker 2: yourself and personally. That's why I used to get anxiety
Speaker 2: is when I was actually disconnected from myself and when
Speaker 2: I didn't feel safe within myself, and so I had
Speaker 2: to give myself that safety and then the anxiety left,
Speaker 2: Yeah left?
Speaker 1: Why?
Speaker 2: But like that was That's what I mean is like
Speaker 2: often it's not even the act of oh, I feel anxious,
Speaker 2: let's unpack this.
Speaker 1: It's the act of using a tool to connect to yourself,
Speaker 1: which you can do through journaling, through meditation, like having
Speaker 1: those moments with yourself. So that's why I'm like hugely
Speaker 1: that's going to be so beneficial for you. So it's
Speaker 1: not even kind of like it's not necessarily journaling on
Speaker 1: your anxiety or the thing that maybe stressing you out.
Speaker 1: Is just about getting to know yourself better.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and having that practice where because that's another thing
Speaker 2: is like I love journaling because you're actually giving time
Speaker 2: to yourself, which I think if a lot of people
Speaker 2: audited their day, I think they would rarely give time
Speaker 2: to theirselves.
Speaker 1: Like when are you?
Speaker 2: And this is I'm you know, this comes from someone
Speaker 2: who's hugely scheduled, but it's like, where do you.
Speaker 1: Have minutes to check in with yourself? Yeah? Be with yourself,
Speaker 1: you know, connect to yourself. Be like connect to your body. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like move in your body and like feel into yourself.
Speaker 1: Like none of us do that unless you've got these
Speaker 1: practices you do. And so that's just personally what I
Speaker 1: used to find is I would say I'm a highly
Speaker 1: anxious person, but it's because I was so disconnected from myself.
Speaker 1: You know, it's actually wild now that you say that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I hadn't consistently journaled till I'd say maybe three weeks ago,
Speaker 1: and I'm like a whole new person. Really. Yeah, Like
Speaker 1: before that, the things I would do to go to
Speaker 1: bed was like check the calendar for work the next day,
Speaker 1: to make sure that I've i don't know, got everything
Speaker 1: in my head that I need to have in my head,
Speaker 1: and like little crazy things like that, or if it's
Speaker 1: the weekend, talk go on TikTok, or if it's like
Speaker 1: Friday night, make sure that I'm not forgetting a catch
Speaker 1: up that I've planned with someone the next day, and
Speaker 1: just like very highly like I'm gonna forget. I'm stressed,
Speaker 1: I got all these things. And now that I don't
Speaker 1: even do that, like it's not even part of my
Speaker 1: routine to check what's on the next day, I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: wake up and there'll be enough time for me to
Speaker 1: sort anything out and I might maybe it's generally ed today,
Speaker 1: Well I think it must be.
Speaker 2: Well that's that's what I mean. Is like I would
Speaker 2: literally be having a look at your routine and be like,
Speaker 2: you know what, I think this is really okay, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna have a.
Speaker 1: Huge stake here, Okay, I like.
Speaker 2: Personally know people who call themselves highly anxious people and
Speaker 2: every single night they're watching true crime documentaries. Do mess
Speaker 2: Like if you are someone who feels anxious and you
Speaker 2: actually look at your routine to see what you're doing
Speaker 2: your day, like yeah, are you like are and you're
Speaker 2: checking your calendar before you go to bed?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: Or like you know, I think we can put it
Speaker 2: down to oh no, like I'm a healthy person, you know,
Speaker 2: blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's like if you actually audited your routine
Speaker 1: and like I said, do you even give yourself ten
Speaker 1: minutes to connect to yourself to check in with how
Speaker 1: you feel and then that day decide what you're going
Speaker 1: to like give you to yourself or are you running
Speaker 1: on this like hamster wheel of like schedules and I
Speaker 1: just do this and I'm not very conscious about what
Speaker 1: I pick. And then you're like, oh, it's so weird.
Speaker 1: I'm really anxious. I'm so surprised.
Speaker 2: And I really I say that with love because that
Speaker 2: was me. I felt so anxious and I was like,
Speaker 2: it's so weird because I work out and I eat
Speaker 2: all the healthy foods, but I did not have a
Speaker 2: mental health practice.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: And then that's when I introduced journaling and my whole
Speaker 2: life change because I was like, holy shit, I was
Speaker 2: so disconnected from myself. I never checked in with myself.
Speaker 1: Check in with yourself, guys, check in with this. Our
Speaker 1: next question is any good journal prompts to work through
Speaker 1: big feelings. I've got a book of them.
Speaker 2: We have literally got a book of them. But I'm
Speaker 2: going to give you some, all right, So from the
Speaker 2: life happens for me journal? So the first one, what
Speaker 2: am I feeling right now? So name the emotion?
Speaker 1: Give it a label. Is it stress? Is it anxiety?
Speaker 1: Is it sadness? Is it anger, guilt? Shame? Then I
Speaker 1: want you to ask yourself, out of ten, how strong
Speaker 1: is that emotion?
Speaker 2: Also give it a number. Then I want you to
Speaker 2: have a think about what has caused me to feel
Speaker 2: this way?
Speaker 3: Then?
Speaker 1: Do I like that I'm feeling this way?
Speaker 3: Then?
Speaker 2: What was the trigger? What was the moment when your
Speaker 2: frequency changed? Then I want you to journal on how
Speaker 2: do I want to react to this emotion. I want
Speaker 2: you to then journal on the story that comes with
Speaker 2: this emotion, because I guarantee you, if it is an
Speaker 2: emotion you feel all the time, there's usually a story attached.
Speaker 2: And I say story because this does not have to
Speaker 2: be your truth. It actually gets to be changed. And
Speaker 2: then the next journal prompt is do I want to
Speaker 2: play into this story or do I want to choose
Speaker 2: a new one? Then I want you to take three
Speaker 2: deep breaths and write down three things that.
Speaker 1: You're grateful for. I love that you're welcome. Our next
Speaker 1: question is how to fit journaling. And if you're busy, oh,
Speaker 1: we're ready for the tough love It's okay, Like it
Speaker 1: literally takes ten minutes. Yeah, I'm sure there's ten minutes
Speaker 1: in your day where you're fucking around. I personally like
Speaker 1: attach it to something else, so you know, are you
Speaker 1: like a tier. I've actually been journaling a lot at
Speaker 1: night to a tear, like when I Ivy's gone to bed,
Speaker 1: and like kind of my routine is like Ivy goes
Speaker 1: to bed, ME and Tim have dinner. I then have
Speaker 1: half an hour where I do look at my calendar,
Speaker 1: I pack my bag, I pack my lunch, I put
Speaker 1: my tablets out, I put my like pre work out out,
Speaker 1: I get all sort of for the next day, and
Speaker 1: then I clean my teeth, I do like face and
Speaker 1: then I jump in bed again, put my phone on.
Speaker 2: Charge, put it away. I have it down on the floor,
Speaker 2: so it's like literally nowhere near me, and then I, yeah, walk,
Speaker 2: get out my journal and do that, or I'll have
Speaker 2: a good conversation with Tim.
Speaker 1: So I personally love doing it at night.
Speaker 2: I feel like you could easily just not be on
Speaker 2: your phone or not watch TV and do journaling.
Speaker 1: Or like start even just going to bed ten minutes later,
Speaker 1: because you spend ten minutes journally.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like that's what I mean is you're clearly
Speaker 2: doing something before you go to sleep.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But also if the nighttime like you're just like drained, zap,
Speaker 1: that's not the vibe. Do it first thing in the morning.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like attach it to making your coffee and then
Speaker 2: you do one page of journaling and again, this is
Speaker 2: not gonna take you more than ten minutes. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: just you have to decide if you want to make
Speaker 2: it a habit or not. There's no there's no secret formula.
Speaker 2: There's no secret to journaling. Again, that's why we created
Speaker 2: the Life Happens for Me journal If you are a
Speaker 2: beginner and you want prompts, but it's like you need
Speaker 2: to decide if this is something, like I said, like
Speaker 2: this has changed my life. This is a habit that
Speaker 2: has changed my life. If you're consistent with it, you're like,
Speaker 2: it's gonna be beneficial for you.
Speaker 1: You just need to decide if you want to put
Speaker 1: in your routine or not. Yeah, you can find ten
Speaker 1: minutes exactly. And I feel like a lot of the
Speaker 1: time people get stuck on journaling because they think they
Speaker 1: need to write this profound essay of emotion and stuff
Speaker 1: and you really don't. Like I draw pictures sometimes, or
Speaker 1: I'll just write something that really annoyed me that day
Speaker 1: and I don't have the capacity to unpack it, but
Speaker 1: I do it a different day.
Speaker 2: I also just write lists sometimes. Yeah, I literally jot
Speaker 2: down list and like, if you were to read my journal,
Speaker 2: you'd be like, what is she talking about?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it wouldn't actually make any sense to you.
Speaker 2: But in that moment, I'm just like listing things exactly,
Speaker 2: and that feels.
Speaker 1: Really good to me too. I always do like to
Speaker 1: end on affirmation so or gratitude, So I highly recommend
Speaker 1: that our next question how to embody what you're actually writing?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, this is a great question. See, this
Speaker 2: is the whole I think there's.
Speaker 1: Such a journey to journaling, and I think at the start,
Speaker 1: if you're new.
Speaker 2: To journaling, it's going to be hard to embody what
Speaker 2: you're journaling, Yeah, because I think you might be a
Speaker 2: little bit disconnected from yourself.
Speaker 1: And that's fine.
Speaker 2: Like even if you kind of like write things down
Speaker 2: you're not feeling too much and you read it and
Speaker 2: you're like, I don't know. I want you to push
Speaker 2: through this, yeah, because it's just foreign to you. Connecting
Speaker 2: to yourself talking about your emotions, being in those emotions
Speaker 2: is going to be foreign and uncomfortable for you. And
Speaker 2: I think that's a very normal state. And I've been
Speaker 2: through that. I tear you've probably been through that. Go
Speaker 2: through it, yeah, where you're just kind of like, I
Speaker 2: don't I don't even if this is beneficial. Yeah, you
Speaker 2: know that stage and then you're like, I do know
Speaker 2: this is beneficial, and I've got to push through.
Speaker 1: So I think that's very normal.
Speaker 2: You get to the stage of embodiment when this is
Speaker 2: a habit and a ritual that you have done many times.
Speaker 2: So it embodiment just means it's like you can feel
Speaker 2: into something like for example, it's like maybe you're talking
Speaker 2: about sorry, writing what you're grateful for and like you
Speaker 2: start to tear up because you're feeling so grateful. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's what embodiment is. And I think I didn't embody
Speaker 2: what I wrote for a very long time. I had
Speaker 2: to make it a habit, I had to feel into it,
Speaker 2: I had to be intuitive with it, and then came embodiment.
Speaker 2: Whereas now I can jump into embodiment a lot quicker
Speaker 2: because I've made.
Speaker 1: It such a ritual in practice. I agree, because sometimes
Speaker 1: I can embody, but it takes a lot of focus.
Speaker 1: It's almost like meditating and trying to like really get
Speaker 1: on the vibe of what I'm writing. But something I
Speaker 1: noticed recently was when I was journaling on triggers or
Speaker 1: something negative, I felt it, like I felt that emotion
Speaker 1: so strong. But when I did the same for something
Speaker 1: I wanted to manifest or something positive or something I
Speaker 1: wanted to attract, that strength of feeling wasn't there, and
Speaker 1: I was. It just was interesting to me because I
Speaker 1: just said, Okay, well, I clearly can do it because
Speaker 1: I'm doing it right now for the negatives, but I
Speaker 1: obviously need to work on reinforcing the positive emotions or
Speaker 1: there's a limiting belief there as to why I can't
Speaker 1: feel that to the strength that I can for the
Speaker 1: other things.
Speaker 2: Yes, And I think also not making yourself wrong for
Speaker 2: that and not being like, oh well, clearly I've got
Speaker 2: a lot of negative emotions, so like, you know, like
Speaker 2: making yourself wrong and being like, oh wow, that's really interesting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm thinking about the moment. If anyone
Speaker 1: has any ideas, please tell me. The next question, what
Speaker 1: are the benefits of journaling everything? Life changing?
Speaker 2: Well, I think the connection to self. I think That's
Speaker 2: what I mean is I think a lot of people
Speaker 2: and again I'm not trying to put anyone in a
Speaker 2: box or label someone, but you know, I think a
Speaker 2: lot of people can really associate with being an anxious
Speaker 2: person or a stressed person and this.
Speaker 1: But it's because they've got.
Speaker 2: All, you know, all these emotions in their body and
Speaker 2: there's no release. And that's even like recently I've been
Speaker 2: doing anger releases on my runs where I think, as women,
Speaker 2: we don't release our anger. No, And it's really interesting
Speaker 2: because men do, Like Tim does it, like literally he'll
Speaker 2: have anger release processes that he does, like within his
Speaker 2: person development coaching, and they're really big on like releasing
Speaker 2: the emotion. And I thought about it and I was like, fuck,
Speaker 2: we just we don't like as women, I feel like
Speaker 2: there's such this normalizing keeping everything in and finding everything in.
Speaker 2: But what you don't realize is like when you hold
Speaker 2: the emotions in, where else.
Speaker 1: They're going to go.
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to feel them. So it's like normalizing
Speaker 2: releasing emotions. So that could be through crying. I have
Speaker 2: been crying a lot lately and releasing and it's really
Speaker 2: interesting because I personally am not a big crier, probably
Speaker 2: because I was disconnected from myself.
Speaker 1: For a very long time. But I'm not a big crier.
Speaker 1: But when I cry nowt I can notice this whole
Speaker 1: process of I feel like I'm gonna cry, and I
Speaker 1: feel embarrassment because I don't like crying, and I feel
Speaker 1: embarrassment and I have to push through that and I
Speaker 1: have to be like, no, you can cry, Georgia, Like
Speaker 1: this is is like I've got you safe place. I
Speaker 1: then cry. It feels uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: I then continue to cry and I feel into the
Speaker 2: feeling and then the next emotion is it. Literally I'm like, oh,
Speaker 2: it's gone, Like I don't feel.
Speaker 1: The feeling anymore. And it's because I've literally released.
Speaker 2: It through crying. Yeah, but it's this whole process of
Speaker 2: being like, oh, I don't want to cry, I feel
Speaker 2: really shameful. Oh this is really uncomfortable. Oh I'm really sad.
Speaker 1: Oh I feel better. Yeah. And it's so interesting because
Speaker 1: I had never noticed that journey of emotions because I
Speaker 1: had never been connected to myself. But now I'm more
Speaker 1: connected to myself.
Speaker 2: I can literally go through the journey and know that
Speaker 2: it's like I'm about to release something. I also do
Speaker 2: this thing when I'm running and if I'm angry, I'll.
Speaker 1: Go for a run. I feel that find that very therapeutic.
Speaker 1: I feel the anger and I hold it in my
Speaker 1: body like almost kind of like Dragon ball Z style, like,
Speaker 1: and then I run and I flick my hands and
Speaker 1: you let the anger out and I let the anger out,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, and I visualize the anger releasing and
Speaker 1: I feel it in my body.
Speaker 2: It's the most amazing experience. And then after that run,
Speaker 2: I'm like, fuck, I.
Speaker 1: Feel good, Wow, And I've like released it. That's amazing.
Speaker 2: And so that's also you know, with anxiety, Yeah, I
Speaker 2: can feel really stressed and really anxious and I write
Speaker 2: it down and then I look at the piece of
Speaker 2: paper and I'm like, do I you.
Speaker 1: Know, is this something I should even be worried about?
Speaker 1: Or more, is this something I can control?
Speaker 2: And if it's not, it's like, well, there's no use
Speaker 2: of going through this anxiousness because I'll have to actually
Speaker 2: go through it when it happens, so you know, like
Speaker 2: let and I'm like very logical about it. So again,
Speaker 2: I find journaling a release for that certain emotion. So
Speaker 2: I think the biggest benefits I've found is it's really
Speaker 2: a tool to connect to yourself. So obviously that's gonna
Speaker 2: be a huge benefit because when you're connecting to yourself,
Speaker 2: you're able to receive downloads, You're able to be a
Speaker 2: clear channel for ideas, for creativity, You're able to like
Speaker 2: I even think of it as like when I journal
Speaker 2: and I work through stuff, I'm literally like clearing slodge,
Speaker 2: like clearing shit out of myself and working through things
Speaker 2: so they're no longer stuck in my body and it
Speaker 2: feels lighter.
Speaker 1: And you can make space for other things. I can
Speaker 1: make space for other things, I can manifest easier, I
Speaker 1: can move through life easier, and that's even Another thing
Speaker 1: is if you don't have any release for your emotions,
Speaker 1: I guarantee you you're someone who gets triggered as fuck.
Speaker 1: You would walk through life and get triggered by everything
Speaker 1: someone says this, you know, like triggered. It's because you're
Speaker 1: you've got so much stories and slosh literally twirling around
Speaker 1: inside you and you haven't released it. So you're basically
Speaker 1: living your day from your past. You're making decisions in
Speaker 1: the future from your past because you haven't cleared it,
Speaker 1: and it really keeps you in this cycle of feeling
Speaker 1: like a victim, of feeling not good enough, constantly comparing yourself,
Speaker 1: not feeling safe in your body. It's kind of like
Speaker 1: if if your brain and body was like a piece
Speaker 1: of machinery doing the maintenance. Yes, exactly, because I love
Speaker 1: looking at it like that, Because if.
Speaker 2: You think about it, like we all we're like every
Speaker 2: single day we go through emotions, we go through little
Speaker 2: tea trauma. We're going through so much that it's like
Speaker 2: if you don't have an outlet, if you don't have
Speaker 2: a release, if you don't have a way to clean.
Speaker 1: Your it's like brushing your teeth every night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you eat food, you're like you have the
Speaker 2: air around you, like, you know, like you've got all
Speaker 2: this stuff happening in your mouth, so you brush it
Speaker 2: and you clean it out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like that's.
Speaker 2: Just a practice so that you're good for the next day.
Speaker 2: So that's why you should have a daily practice to
Speaker 2: help your mental health, your emotional self.
Speaker 1: And that's kind of the way I see it. Wow,
Speaker 1: I love looking at it that way. Yeah, and like
Speaker 1: that's when you look at it that way, doesn't it
Speaker 1: just make sense? Yeah, it's like, how can you not
Speaker 1: have time for that to do it every day?
Speaker 2: And I think also if you're someone who's never had
Speaker 2: time for that or never done that, that's why the
Speaker 2: start feels really hard because you're like, holy shit, this
Speaker 2: is just oh this is stupid, it doesn't work, or yeah,
Speaker 2: it's pointless. But what you don't realize is you keep
Speaker 2: doing it, you make it a habit, and then like
Speaker 2: down the track you'll be like, wow.
Speaker 1: No, this is life changing. Guys.
