107. But Should I Journal?
Episode 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!
