Welcome back to the 101^st episode!

Journaling is a very powerful thing as it provides a sense of credibility as we start acknowledging what we are writing down. For some, it’s to reflect back on what you did on this day in future, others it’s to figure out what they want in future, or what’s been holding them back. Every single individual is going to get a different outcome, but the one thing that everyone in GYST crew felt was that this won’t give you any type of relief. You are not necessarily going to come out of this and feel great. You might even come out more confused, but it will give you a clear direction of what you want from your future.

Before you start writing think about what thoughts are going through your mind? Are you excited? Nervous? Scared? Anxious? Why are you feeling those thoughts? What do you hope to gain out of this journaling exercise? When was the last time you journaled?

Now when you start journaling, pick one of the prompts below that instinctually jumps out at you. Don’t think, don’t feel. There is one that is calling to you, go with that one!

1. Considering my current state of affairs (job, savings, investments, health, friends, relationships), what will my life be like in 5 years if I continue with this trend? How do I feel about that?
2. Something I would love to do, but I’m not sure I can be? How does that make me feel? Who is someone that I can connect with for help?
3. Considering my current state of affairs (job, savings, investments, health, friends, relationships), what advice would I give to myself 10 years ago?
4. This year what I want most is? Why don’t I have this in my life already? What are 5 things I can do to get it?
5. The highest high I have ever been in my life was when…? The lowest low I have ever been in my life was when…? Why did I pick those two moments? Describe them in detail using feelings.
6. A regret that haunts me the most is…? What do you wish you would have done differently? Detail the experience, the feelings it caused then and continues to today.

Now that you’ve finished, how do you feel? What are you thinking? Is this valuable to you?
