Alright y'all lets talk JOURNALING.
I have only a few requirements for the 1:1 clients I work with but two of those requirements is that they have to have a meditation practice and journaling practice. It's inevitable that they won't always be done EVERY day. AND I can't think of two tools as powerful and as fundamental as these two. If someone isn't spending 5 min a day breathing with themselves and writing down their thoughts and inner dialogue, it's hard to make much progress at anything else.
Journaling in particular is an amazing way to audit our internal process. Every second we are CONSCIOUSLY processing 100-400 bits per sec (give or take) (unconsciously we're processing 11 Million bits/sec). Over the course of the day we end up consciously processing over 4MB of data. What's happening to all that data though? Who is sorting it and how? If you're living uncosnciously that means that your unconscious programming is filing that all away, and for most people that's a largely unaudited processing system that's mostly dysfunctional and rooted in inadequacy and scarcity.
How the hell do we start intentionally and consciously sorting through all that data? Journaling and meditating.
With that said I'm planning to create a journaling course to help people get more out of their journal sessions faster, but in the meantime I want to hear from you all. What's your journaling practice/process look like. Drop it in the comments and let's get the conversation going!
