Episode Description from the Publisher

The Things You Keep Coming Back To: How Journaling Helps You Notice What Really Matters.This is Episode 5 of Season 5 of The Journaling Guy Podcast, and today it's all about noticing what really matters to you, when writing in your Journal. It's important to remember here... it's not necessarily about what we keep writing about directly, it's more about what that means when we dig a little bit deeper into it. Repetition isn't always a bad thing. We mustn't keep making the same mistake or repeating a same bad habit. But what about those ideas, ambitions or interests that simply refuse to disappear?REMEMBER; repetition might be evidence to ourselves, that something matters.This weeks mission:Go back through some old Journal entries; don't read every word. Just flick through and look for repetition.IdeasPeoplePlacesDreamsThen write: THIS KEEPS COMING BACK BECAUSE... and carry on.Don't ask whether it's realistic. Don't make a plan. Don't Google how much flights cost. Just explore why it matters.-----------------------Thanks for listening to The Journaling Guy Podcast.Don't forget, I've written a FREE five-day series called How Journaling Can Transform Your Life.
