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?

On this episode of The Journaling Guy Podcast, I'm talking about Recognise Your Wins.

Adults are terrible at recognising their wins; the positives in their lives. It's time to stop that and start realising when we win and allowing ourselves to think we're good enough.

HERE'S TODAY’S EXERCISE - THE DAILY WINS LIST

In your journal, write down...

Three wins from today

They MUST be small. Taking the stairs, counts. Not shouting at your kids when they spilt cereal, counts (in fact, that one’s a HUGE win). Making the bed, counts.

Why each win mattered

Did it show Discipline? Did it show Kindness? Did it show Restraint? Did it show Growth?

What it says about who you’re becoming.

This one is so important. Most of us aren’t looking to become a world leader, we just want to become better. By starting your daily wins list, you’ll see it mapping out in front of your very own eyes.
