Description

Are you a journal-er? Do you want to be a journal-er? In this episode, we explore the benefits and drawbacks of journaling from the perspectives of Sarah (a journaler) and Stef (an ex-journaler). As you might expect, this is not a black and white issue; what feels helpful for some might not be as helpful for others. We'll look at:

• Stef’s journaling experiment
• Can journaling make us more anxious? And if so, what else can we do?
• Rambling, stream-of-consciousness journaling versus intention journaling
• What if someone finds my journal??
• Sarah pulls out one of her journal entries from the first time she met Stef in NYC
• Handwriting versus typewritten
• The pressure of journaling
• Is it easier or harder to write when you’re feeling low/depressed?
• Decreasing perfectionism around journaling as a way to decrease perfectionism in general
• Art journaling; bullet journaling
• The Artists’ Way by Julia Cameron
• What journal prompt do you need right now?
• Meet us in Dublin!
