This is The Biggest Mistake New Journalers Make!
This is episode four of our New Journaling Foundations Series of The Journaling Guy Podcast (Season 4, Episode 4). Today, I talk about the Biggest Mistake New Journalers Make, and Why You Need to Stop Editing Yourself.
“If you’re filtering your journal… you’re filtering yourself.”
Have you started writing a text message, deleted it, written it again, deleted it again, and then finally sent something completely different? We've all done this and it proves my theory that we edit ourselves all the time, certainly more than we realise.
In today's episode, I'm asking you to stopp editing yourself and start being Brutally Honest.
THIS WEEK’S MISSION IS:I’d like you to write one page beginning with these words: “What I really think is…”
Every time you feel yourself editing, start that sentence again. “What I really think is…”
If you'd like more detail around this method, and to understand how and why it works, pop over to The Journaling Guy Substack. There's you'll find some more audio. Plus:
