12 | How to start journaling

Journaling is the top recommended tool for self awareness, personal growth, and connecting with your intuition. It’s a tool we all know we should be doing, but very few of us actually do it. Why? Because for many, journaling invokes a mental image of a middle schooler recounting what they had for lunch to a diary. We also have no clue what to write.  In this episode, Nadia unpacks why journaling is the single most important tool that aided her on her spiritual journey. In fact, this podcast wouldn’t exist without journaling.  The simple fact is that when you dutifully show up day after day to unpack the contents of your heart and your mind, you get clear on what it is you actually want and value and what your soul is truly yearning for. Seeing longings show up on your pages day after day eventually leads you to do something about it. This is the magic of journaling. Journaling will help you unlock a connection with your higher self. It provides a constant stream of higher order wisdom and a rudder for making decisions in your life. Journaling is a free tool for introspection and mental clarity.  What we cover in this episode:  The main blockers that keep you from starting a journaling practice  Tactical tips for starting your own practice (+ journal prompts!)  Overcoming and working with your inner critic  Getting over the initial hump of feeling silly and not knowing what to write --- Website: nadialast.com Instagram: @nadialast_ Music: Chihiro by Yoste Photography www.mandeerae.com
