On this episode of The Journaling Guy Podcast, I'm talking about starting the New Year in the best way possible; with a low-pressure approach to Journaling = START SMALL!

The 3-Part Beginner-Friendly New Year Journaling Method

1. “How am I really?”

No grand declarations, just an honest check-in.

2. “What do I need today?”

A break? A conversation? Some fresh air? A decent meal? A nap? This keeps journaling grounded in your real life.

3. “What’s one small thing I can do to feel good about today?”

One. Small. Thing. This sets the tone of self-respect for the year ahead.

Today's Journaling Prompt is:

Write for 6 minutes “If this year was about being kinder to myself, what would that look like?”

Please get in touch with any questions and of course, your feedback too. Email - hello@thejournalingguy.com

Always remember... "keep writing and keep showing up for yourself", Matt.
