Ever feel like journaling is just another thing on a never-ending to-do list? You’re not alone.

Most people never stick with it and I used to be one of them. But after a life-altering accident in 2012, everything changed.

In this episode, I’m sharing why journaling became a daily habit, how it helped me get clear on my purpose, and why it’s one of the most powerful tools I use to stay focused and build a better life and business.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, scattered, or just worn out by the chaos—this might be exactly what you need.

Here’s Why I Do It

Journaling. What does it really mean to journal?

It’s a question I’ve been asking myself a lot lately. I journal three times a day and I’ve been doing this consistently for a little over twelve years.

But why?

Before then, I had made a few weak attempts at journaling. But to no avail. There were always other things that I needed to do, keeping me from making it a habit.

Then something changed.

This Can Be Hard to Do

We tend to be binary thinkers. We assume things have to be one way or the other, ignoring the nuances and complexities of life. But that kind of thinking doesn’t work well in balancing your life.

So how do we find that balance?

Sure, sometimes there are only two choices. When choosing between right and wrong or good and evil, I believe this is the case. But most of life? It’s lived in the middle. And if we only see two options, we’ll stop trying to find balance altogether.
