1
I am begging you to start journaling.
2
And I know how that sounds.
3
Because journaling feels like one of those things everybody tells you that you should do.
4
You write down your thoughts, you keep a gratitude journal, you write down your goals.
5
And I think because we've heard all of that so many times, we've completely underestimated what journaling actually is.
6
I actually believe there's no tool or process more powerful for your personal growth than journaling.
7
So in this episode, I want to explain why journaling is so powerful, what's actually happening when you write, And then I'm gonna teach you the specific 10 to 15 minute journaling process
8
that I use myself This practice is so potent that
9
if you told me you were gonna burn all my tools
10
and processes and frameworks and let me keep only one It would be this one.
11
So let's get into it All right guys, here's what I really want you to understand before we get
12
into this most personal growth practices They work on one maybe
13
two dimension transformation meditation for example changes your relationship with your thoughts Right?
14
Therapy can help you understand and process your emotions.
15
Visualization helps you develop a relationship with a future that hasn't happened yet.
16
Prayer connects you to something greater than yourself.
17
But journaling is unique because it can do almost all of these things at the same time.
18
Journaling recruits nearly the entire transformational system at once and all you need is a pen and a piece of paper.
19
That's why I think this practice is so ridiculously underestimated.
20
So I'm going to give you five different unlocks that journaling facilitates, which is why I think journaling may be one of the most powerful personal growth practices ever,
21
and that I'm going to show you exactly how to do it.
22
So unlock number one, journaling unlocks access to the subconscious mind.
23
So the first reason journaling is so powerful is that by writing with your hand, you're slowing down your thought process so
24
that you can gain access to the real information that sits behind the speed of your mind.
25
Think about what happens when you're journaling in an intentional way.
26
You're writing the first word of a sentence
27
and you don't always know what the last word of that sentence is going to be until you get there.
28
There have been plenty of times where I start writing a sentence with something like, I don't feel like, and my mind will say something like, doing any work today.
29
But by the time I get to the second half of the sentence, my hand writes, anybody cares about me.
30
Wow, that's an insight.
31
In fact, what I found is that oftentimes the false problem is what the mind articulates.
32
In this case, I don't feel like doing any work today.
33
But the real problem, the reason I feel like procrastinating is
34
because I don't feel like anybody cares about me or cares about the work that I would do today.
35
Now, when you write, You open up the channel for
36
that quiet subconscious whisper to express itself within the space
37
that you've created by slowing down That's very different than
38
when you speak If you ever notice
39
when you're speaking with a friend before you start speaking You
40
generally know where you're finishing You may not know every single word
41
that you're going to use
42
But you know the thought you know what you're trying to say
43
because you're functioning inside of the processing speed of your inner computer Which is your mind But when you're writing, your hand can't keep up with the speed of your mind.
44
And so there's this space that opens up.
45
There's almost a communicating or a connection between you and the space.
46
And in the space, there's new insights.
47
There's new information.
48
It's where the part of you that's been dominated by the mind has a little room to breathe to express itself.
49
You know, a lot of times when I journal, I'll have revelations and breakthroughs within things that I wrote almost as if someone else was writing them.
50
I'll literally read something I just wrote and think, where did that come from?
51
I didn't know that I knew that or I felt that, which is interesting because you could argue that someone else was writing it through me.
52
And maybe you call that your subconscious.
53
Maybe you call it intuition or an inner child or a higher power.
54
But by slowing down the mind, I made myself available to information that I wasn't available to access before.
55
And I wouldn't say that writing bypasses the mind.
56
I think it sort of sits next to it.
57
It sidesteps the mind and there's a big difference.
58
You're still conscious You're still there.
59
You're still writing But you've slowed down the machinery enough
60
that something else has the possibility of coming through
61
And I think that's one of the reasons people will journal about a problem
62
that they've been thinking about for weeks and Suddenly write down the answer.
63
The answer may have been there the whole time
64
They just weren't able to hear it because they were thinking too quickly to be able to.
65
Unlock number two, journaling programs your brain and the field.
66
So the second reason writing is really powerful is because of the movement of your hands.
67
In fact, at a recent event that we had, we encouraged everybody at one point to get off all their computers, pull out a pen and pad and start writing.
68
And there's a reason for that.
69
There's actually neuroscience that shows that when you write something by hand, You're engaging much more of your brain than when you're typing it or simply thinking about it.
70
You're involving the movement of the body in the creation of the thought, and you're building connections in your brain associated with what you're writing.
71
In other words, you're not just thinking the idea.
72
You're impressing the idea onto your actual neurology.
73
You're building the memory in a really, really concrete way.
74
And I think there's something much deeper going on here as well because writing is intimately connected to spelling.
75
And I know this is gonna sound a little strange to some people, but the ancients understood the power of symbols, of spelling, and spell casting.
76
The ancients used very specific geometry and symbology in the form of runes.
77
The word rune comes from an Old English root meaning secret or mystery.
78
And historically, in occult practices, they were associated with magic.
79
So across ancient spiritual and magical traditions, from Egyptian esotericism to the Vikings,
80
even early Christianity, people treated the act inscription as something powerful.
81
Writing wasn't always understood as simply recording something.
82
It could be a part of a prayer, a ritual, an intention, some form of creation.
83
And I think there's something really interesting about that because when you write something, you're taking something that was previously a thought form or just an idea,
84
and you're beginning to give it physical form, right?
85
Think about that.
86
You have a thought, nobody can see it, and then your hand moves.
87
The pen touches the paper and now it's here in the physical world, right?
88
It's material.
89
And that's why teachers of the law of attraction, particularly in the early 2000s when everybody was talking about this stuff, would always say, write down your goals.
90
Why?
91
Because you're impressing yourself through movement into the field.
92
You're taking something that exists as thought and you're beginning to crystallize it into physical form.
93
I think about it like dropping a stone into a lake.
94
The moment the pen touches the paper, there's the first impression and then the ripple goes out.
95
And eventually, it can materialize into reality.
96
Now, I can't scientifically prove to you that writing something on a piece of paper changes some external energetic field.
97
I'm sure somebody could run that experiment.
98
But here's what I can tell you.
99
It changes you.
100
And you're the one who's going to make the decisions, notice the opportunities, have the conversations, and take the actions that create your life.
101
So whether you want to understand this neurologically, psychologically, spiritually, or all three, the act of writing matters.
102
You're not just recording the thought, you're making an impression with it.
103
Unlock number three, journaling gives your emotions permission to flow.
104
So the third reason journaling is so powerful is that journaling is a path to emotional freedom.
105
Because there are things that we hold inside of ourselves that create blocks.
106
And the information is held in the body.
107
You're angry, You're jealous.
108
You don't feel like you're good enough.
109
You're scared.
110
Maybe you're resentful towards somebody and you don't want to admit it.
111
And sometimes it's really hard to just allow those feelings.
112
And so we hold them up.
113
We keep them inside.
114
So what ends up happening is we resist them.
115
We judge them.
116
We try to think our way out of them.
117
But expressing through writing how you truly feel gives those feelings permission to move.
118
Because it's almost impossible to write without feeling.
119
Like if I sit down and I actually write, I'm angry.
120
And then I write why I'm angry.
121
And then I write what I wish I could say.
122
And then I write what I'm afraid is going to happen.
123
I'm starting to feel something.
124
The writing becomes a mechanism that gives permission to the feelings to flow.
125
And as the feelings flow, you begin to flow.
126
That's the important part.
127
Because so much of what we call being stuck is really just energy
128
that we're unwilling to allow how to move and journaling gives it movement.
129
So you don't have to show it to anybody.
130
You don't have to make it sound enlightened.
131
You don't have to write what you think you're supposed to feel.
132
You can write the truth and the truth has movement in it.
133
That's why sometimes you can journal for five, 10, 15, 20 minutes about something that's been bothering you for three months and when you're finished,
134
the situation hasn't changed at all, but you have.
135
And now you're relating to the situation differently.
136
That's freedom.
137
Unlock number four, journaling amplifies positive emotions.
138
So the fourth unlock is almost the opposite of the third.
139
Writing doesn't just give you a mechanism to release the feelings that you don't want to continue carrying.
140
It also gives you a way to reinforce the feelings that you want more of.
141
So gratitude is a great example.
142
You can think, I'm grateful for my wife.
143
That's beautiful.
144
But the thought takes two seconds.
145
Now sit down and write, God, thank you for my wife.
146
Thank you for this thing that she did yesterday.
147
Thank you for the way she loves me.
148
Thank you for the life that we've created.
149
So when you do that, you're spending more time in the idea that's motivating the appreciation.
150
You're sustaining the neurological experience of appreciation.
151
And I think that's the key.
152
You're not just thinking about gratitude.
153
You're giving yourself the time to actually experience grateful.
154
You're expressing it through your body.
155
You're moving your hand.
156
You're staying in the experience and you're reinforcing that gratitude more deeply into yourself.
157
And if you want to use the language that I use, you're imprinting it also into the field.
158
So journaling does this really interesting thing.
159
It gives what needs to leave a pathway out and it gives what you want to cultivate a pathway in.
160
And that's super powerful.
161
Unlock number five, journaling deepens your relationship with God.
162
Now this may sound like an over promise, but this is what I found to be true, right?
163
The fifth reason is probably the most personal for me.
164
Journaling can become a form of relationship building with your higher power.
165
Could be God, Jesus, Allah, nature, the universe, whatever it is for you.
166
If in fact, you want to have a deeper relationship with it.
167
I'm not saying you should or you need to, but if you want to, journaling is one of the best ways to commune with your higher power.
168
Why?
169
Well, think about it.
170
If you want to have a deep relationship with someone, if you want to feel connected to someone, if you want to be able to understand and hear someone,
171
then that requires regular communication with them.
172
Parents, in particular mothers, will talk about how they can sense when their child is in danger, even if they're separated by great distances.
173
If you talk to people in intimate relationships where a couple of spent years together, they know each other so well that they can finish each other's sentences.
174
There's a kind of sinking of nervous systems that takes place in deep, intimate relationships, and that's based on regular, ongoing, safe, authentic communication.
175
And this is actually what led me to develop my own journaling process.
176
I've talked about this in other episodes, but people have had such extraordinary results with it that I wanted to share it again here.
177
I call communion journaling and it came out of a desire
178
that I had a little over a year ago to have a deeper personal relationship with my higher power.
179
I wanted a deeper relationship with God.
180
I felt like I had a relationship with the universe but it didn't feel very personal.
181
I believed in God
182
but I wanted to feel a very personal relationship with the God of my own understanding
183
and I had this burning desire and then an idea came to me and I dismissed it at first.
184
The idea was to wake up early and go down into my podcast studio
185
and to to write to write to god and i was like nah
186
that feels kind of inconvenient i'm not a big fan of waking up early
187
and then my wife said one day a few weeks later hey you know you haven't been sleeping very well
188
but rather than just continuing to try to squeeze an extra sleep
189
and then sleeping until 7 30
190
or 8 why don't you go down in your podcast room
191
and journal or something like that i was like no i don't i don't think that's gonna going to happen either.
192
And then a few weeks later, I did this really deep transformational breathwork session during which my body literally sat up and I started writing in the air.
193
And I was like, okay, I get the message.
194
I don't need to be struck by lightning.
195
I will get up and I will write.
196
So the next day I wake up around six o'clock in the morning.
197
I come down to the podcast room.
198
I had no idea what I was going to do.
199
There was no journaling prompt.
200
There was not some process somebody had taught me.
201
I literally, I just sat down, I put my pen in my hand
202
and I touched the pad of my journal with the pen and I started writing and the words just started flowing.
203
And at first I just started thanking God for pretty much everything.
204
It was really beautiful.
205
It was almost like this long way overdue pen pal letter.
206
I was like, God, you gave me all these amazing things in my life, right?
207
I don't know that I've ever really sat down and properly said thank you.
208
So thank you.
209
And so I started thanking God for my wife, for my son, for my business, for my mission, for my house, for my friends, for my sobriety,
210
for my awareness, for my consciousness, for my life, for the opportunities that I had.
211
And I just kept writing, just poured out of me.
212
And what happened was I got so deeply into the frequency of appreciation, not because I was trying to practice gratitude or do a gratitude list, but because I was actually having a conversation.
213
And then I had this kind of feeling take over me, very much like my son who was three years old at the time who just asked for this, Daddy, I want this.
214
Daddy, I want that.
215
And he's relentless about it.
216
He knows that if I ask, I'm going to get this thing.
217
And I deserve this thing.
218
And I'm entitled to this thing.
219
Because he's a narcissistic toddler who asked for a lot of things.
220
And so once I finished thanking God, I just started asking for things.
221
I was like, hey, I want this.
222
I want that.
223
Here's what I want.
224
Give me this.
225
Let my work be heard by millions of people.
226
Let the building of my business be easy.
227
Let my sleep improve.
228
Let me have an even more amazing relationship with my wife.
229
Just give it to me.
230
I want this.
231
I want that.
232
I was like a spoiled child of God.
233
And what was cool was that while I was asking, I had this knowingness that according to God's will,
234
I would receive everything I asked for because I knew who I was in relationship with.
235
I was asking the creator of all things.
236
And I felt that relationship.
237
It was almost like I was sitting with God down in my man cave.
238
And that changes the energy of asking because you're not sitting there thinking, okay, maybe this will happen, maybe it won't.
239
How do I figure out how to make this happen?
240
I had this experience that the moment I asked, it was going to be done for me.
241
And then after I felt this conviction that I would have the things that I was asking God for, I had another thought.
242
It was like, wow, I should probably ask for other people too.
243
And so I started praying for other people.
244
I know I should pray for other people, but it's not something that I was doing on the regular.
245
And man, I saw what I was writing and it was powerful.
246
It was beautiful.
247
Like you ever hear people like do these powerful prayers, like a really amazing preacher.
248
That's what was coming out of my fingertips.
249
I was praying for people in my family.
250
I was praying for people who I knew were struggling.
251
I was praying for people who needed help.
252
And then that became my process.
253
It wasn't something I sat down and engineered.
254
It emerged naturally out of the experience, and it's incredibly simple.
255
Number one, I thank God.
256
Number two, I ask God.
257
And number three, I ask God on behalf of others.
258
I pray for other people.
259
That's what I call communion journaling.
260
It takes me five to 15 minutes depending on what shows up.
261
I don't do it every morning, but when I do, man, I come out of this podcast room like lit up for the day.
262
I feel connected.
263
I feel grateful.
264
I feel like I'm in a real relationship with the creator of the universe.
265
And honestly, as I'm talking about it right now, I'm wondering why I don't do it every day, I guess, because there are some days where I just have more to learn by suffering.
266
But that's how powerful this process is.
267
And so I'm begging you to start journaling, not because it's another personal development habit that you're supposed to check off the list,
268
but because there's information inside of you that you may not be able to hear at the speed that you're currently moving.
269
There are feelings inside of you that need somewhere to go.
270
There are thoughts and intentions that become more powerful when you physically impress them onto a page.
271
And there may even be a relationship available to you with your higher power, with God, with something greater than yourself that you simply haven't created enough space to experience.
272
So my invitation is get a pen, get a pad, give yourself about 15 minutes.
273
And if you don't know what to write, start the way that I started.
274
Say thank you.
275
Ask for what you want and then ask for somebody else and just see what comes through.
276
And by the way, before I let you go, this is one great tool that I'm suggesting you try out, communion journaling.
277
And I have another one for you.
