Cool video Ali! Do you have a reminder system for doing some of the prompts e.g. every 3 months/every year depending on how often you need to write the prompt?
Link Isn't working:(
Love this video and all of your content so much! The journalling hub looks great :) It won't let me link any of "my journals" to a journal entry (just blank and can't write anything). Any tips on how to make this feature work? Thank you!!
Ali please don’t quit RUclips, your videos are life lessons and very useful for us!
❤
What the school doesnt teach us, its all here! 😅
Agree
Totally
bro it's his million dollar biz
1. What would I do if money were no object?/ What would I do to serve the world with my skills if I had all the money in the world
2. What do I want the people I serve/my colleagues, family and friends to say at my funeral? Am I living in alignment with that?
3. If I were to repeat the things I have done this week for the next 10 years where would I end up?
4. What have done in the last two weeks that has energized me and that was drained me? How do I make my life more energizing?
5. The wheel of life check in. With a tenth category called joy.
6. Odyssey plan. What would my life look 5 years from now if I took a completely different path? What would my life look like 5 years from now if I would not care about money and what people thought?
7. What is the goal and what is the bottleneck?
8. Do you work for your business or does your business work for you?
9. If I knew I was gonna die 2 years from now what would I do with my time? What of those things can I just do now?
..
So excited to try them!
Thank you for this great summary 🫶
@@MagicalMindsByAmra you're welcome! I hope it's useful!
Thank u so much for this summary...helped me a lot
@@pratikpoudel9023 I'm glad!
U forgot no.8: Which goal will have the greatest postive impact on your life?
Your 8 and 9 are prompt 9 and 10 in the video :D
These actually are enormous. Adding these to my journaling routine. Thanks, Ali!
The first question, btw, especially the follow up is HUGE! It is very much similar to the concept of Ikigai which is a life changing concept for me.
Ikigai the art of living by the Japanese. I assume you have read the book “Ikigai”?
3:54 At your funeral I would say this. But it is an understatement, without exaggeration I think you have been the most influential person in my life. I have been following you since the beginning and the changes in my lifestyle and life purpose have been transformed ever since.
Journaling no matter the area has always been useful to me. Gym routine, school, expenses, trading journal. You can sleep thought free at night. I recommend everyone to do it
What journaling book is best to buy? I used to journal on my iPhone but stopped doing it now.
@@Theway2Mount7Up no need for any special type journal, any note book would do the work. Just remember to write daily or weekly
Very true, started this practice for a year now - it clears out your thoughts at night 💙
@@cyyylas Yeah I just use the Day One app and the Journal app on my iPhone to journal. I know it’s very digital and not the old school pen & paper technique but does get the job done!
My journaling mentor Kay Adams says that "The journal is like the moon, emitting a magnetic tug that draws information from our unconscious and subconscious minds and brings it to the surface, where you can work at the conscious level." Love how you're spreading journaling as a practice for mental clarity and personal growth, Ali! Yes to more videos on journaling. 🙂
That's a nice analogy, will keep that in mind
Ive followed your journaling prompts for 3 to 4 months and it is game changer for me.
Thanks you so much ali for sharing these journaling prompts.
Keep going with this RUclips channel. And never ever quit.
18:02 massive congrats. Seen you get more and more into fitness these last few years, so proud of you mate
I actually have no problem with working. The only thing that doesn’t make sense to me is the time we spend at work.
I work from 8 am to 5 pm, taking into consideration the travel time will add up 1 hour. Prepare for work will take 1 hour.
I feel like I have no time for life after this 😅
I am currently at the nail salon watching this and I just want to hug you Ali. Thank you for this video it’s a game changer. Your close circle is blessed to have you
I love your journaling prompts, they’ve helped me work on myself and clear my mind. I’m less self destructive and journaling has helped me with my depression. I feel more in power over my life and I love hearing more of your prompts. Thank you 😊
Unexpectedly, this brought tears to me coming to the end of video. All inspiring prompts, but what’s also inspiring and soul-touching to see you actually living in those prompts! Thank you for being here. And by choosing to bravely being yourself, and becoming yourself, you are lifting all of us with you!❤
Ali, I love you! Since coming across your channel, you have helped me discover and reimagine myself and although I am a work in progress... you have opened my mind to thinking in a completely different and better way. If you were here, I would give you a huge hug and tell you thank you for your sage wisdom. Please keep doing what you do!!
Ali, god bless you man. I think this is exactly what I needed to watch and hear right now. I’ve been doing lots of great things in the context of my life in the last 8 months but struggled with motivation in lots of areas recently. I listened to this running and instead of stopping after 10 mins like I had planned to, I went through the whole thing and realise I need journaling in my life to keep me continually asking myself important questions to focus on my life goals.
I have been watching your videos since grade 5th and they have made a lot of changes in my life. thank you 😊
Favorite prompts-
Wheel of life and goals - bottleneck.
I think I want to start on those right away.
Ali, you are younger than me, so I hope you outlive me, by a lot. So I'll say this now -
Your content, and more importantly for me, your delivery is sooo helpful, useful, easy learning.. that it has changed how I look at productivity. Your approach to holistic betterment of self is so refreshing and I love incorporating what you share here. Thank you, you have made a huge difference in my life. ❤
Wow, this is by far my fav vidoe of yours! And yes, your energy has changed so much for the better - that's what I call success!
Only watched this video and one other and so far the content is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. Thank you. ❤ you have a new subscriber 😊
You could be good at what you do, but unless you're asking the right questions, you won't end up where you want to be in life. That's why journalling is so powerful.
Ali, this video about Journalling prompts is another gem in the crown. By the way, I am in love with the ideas you have put in your book. I am cherishing them like a mindful meal and don't want them (ideas) to finish. Thank you for helping me in taking back the control of my life!
Prompt #3 is my favorite! I'll try out all these 10 new journalling prompts this week. I'm just starting Journaling this year and going to see what this journey is like Thank you so much for the tips and advice and I really love the things you do Ali! You're so inspiring and hoping I get to meet you one day! But for now, I'll be working towards my goals and dreams! Keep up the amazing work and don't stop sharing what you find meaningful that will help out others!
Hey Ali, thank you for the epic video(s) 🥰 My favourite prompt is the 12 Month Celebration from one of your other journalling videos - it was something I had been trying to do, without realising I was doing it. Giving it a name - or face, in a way - seems so subtle, but that tiny change in perspective makes the whole effort of planning, setting goals and visualising what it is that I am trying to create or achieve that bit more intentional that I had some - very - welcome breakthroughs. The other prompt I had been using, but forgotten about was Brain Tracey's method - even the reminder provided so much clarity. Thank you & Keep doing what you're doing! I really appreciate it! 🥳
I love every video Ali creates. Keep building the videos you want Ali!
Ive watched several of your videos Ali but I think this might be the most useful one yet. Those journaling prompts really makes me think about the alignment of thoughts and action. Thank you!
I am so grateful that I clicked on this video! I've been journaling for years and for some reason have always said that I didn't like prompts without ever truly giving them a try. This really puts into perspective how valuable, constructive, and transformative they can be. I'm looking forward to journaling later! What a powerful way to help ourselves. Thank you so much Ali !
This video might be my favorite video from you, Ali! So much wisdom and life-changing lessons to learn :) Have a great day, Ali, you're truly a great teacher who better people's lives in so many aspects :)
Thanks so much for this. I found that answering questions are the key to really understanding who you are and what you want in life.
This is the first video that I've watched of you ali and It was a good one. I've done journaling a couple of time but I'd never thought about these sort of questions to get better my journaling. Thank Ali👏
As is so often the case, this video arrived at just the right time - so thank you again, Ali! Enjoyed answering all the prompts, in particular No. 8: going through my written list gave me clarity on the possibilities I see for myself as well as my current values ✨
I LOVE your videos recently. Thank you for everything you do Ali, you’re the best 🤩🤗🙏🏼
The thing about journalling is quite simple as it helps you get stuff out of your head and onto paper. Then , you can think clearly about them which can help you find probable solutions to your problem
Every question is my favorites! Thank you so much for doing this video. I learnt tons! I think I must practice journaling immeadiately in my life! Thank you so much, Ali! 🙏🏼
I am so grateful to have discovered your channel. As a primary school teacher, I have already been able to make a significant impact on the children's lives. Thank you so much for your valuable content, I am truly grateful to be able to pass it on.✨
Thank you so much. You are one of my good teachers in life.
WOW! absolutelly mind blowing prompts that make my reflect about my actual path. Thanks for sharing this content, is really really useful and valuable for me. Another prompt that I like to use in my journaling process is 'What I'm thankful for?' Sometime we focus our attention in what we don't like or things that we want, but we forget to enjoy, to thank and celebrate what we have and our little wins everyday.
You are such an amazing human Ali 💖 Thank you for this amazing content
Journalling is incredibly powerful, you are right! I have been writing for years and I spend a couple of hours each day writing from the heart first and then scripting after - and I love it. This video is so fantastic, thank you :)
holy crap, a couple of hours a day? that is a lot
I tried journalling before and kept failing to be consistent. But when I started watching your videos and how you view, experience, and use journalling.. it made me more consistent and motivated to write everyday.
My favourite is actually "Morning Pages", and you discussed it in another video.
For the prompt, I enjoy the wheel of life. I might actually copy what Tintin does and do it every week too. 😊 Thank you for the video, Ali. And kudos to your whole team!
Thanks Ali, that was the best content on journaling that I have ever come across with, hands down😍
Thanks Ali, your contribution to the world with your own unique perspective it's very apreciated
"Everything in life becomes as a result of compounding". That is a good one!
These are great prompts. Two years ago I asked myself if I could see myself doing what I was doing in 10 years. I had a herbal medicine practice that financially was doing well but was causing me incredible stress. Nope! Closed the business and took some time to figure out what I wanted to do. Focused on doing things that bring me joy and 2yrs later I have a clear vision that I’m really excited about. The 2yrs of figuring it out challenged me to slow down and just enjoy the ride. I’m grateful I did.
This is one of my favorite RUclips channels. Top 3. Thank you so much!❤
What's the other 2?
Journalling got me through my teen years and then life took over and I just lost that habit. I have been thinking about this for awhile now it's time to bite the bullet and just focus on this habit. I really loved writing and expressing my thoughts and wanted to write a book. Seriously this video is just a much needed kick up the backside and has inspired to put pen to paper and just go for it.
Thankyou for doing what you do and being such an inspiration for so many people Ali.
I really appreciate the content of your videos. Thank you so much for sharing all that you give us for free. I am saving for your book, I borrowed it from the library, and I think there is so much of value in it that I want to have it in my own library 😊
We love your content Ali, i wast just watching your podcast deep dive ❤
Ali that energy audit was increadibly eye opening and very helpful thank you for the wonderfully helpful content!
Well, Thanks Ali! Your work really helped me to start journalling in a really serious way and i find a lot of benefits. Thank you very much
Some amazing ideas and insights! You've once again gained a position in my must-to-watch-contents list. Thank you, Ali!
At your funeral I would say that this video today had a significant impact on my life. The way I've been journaling on and off all my adult life has not served me well at all. And now I know why, prompts! In the past, I just wrote stream of conscious, no structure; and that is why I was never consistent. This is going to make a big difference for me, in the way I think about journaling and they way I write from now on. The other thing I would probably mention, is the first video of yours I watched was the typing/10 FastFingers 3 or so years ago. I was an average typist, and practicing with 10FastFingers has raised my speed and confidence a great deal. I still jump on the program and practice. And, it opened me too a boat load of typing sites I didn't know existed. So thanks!!!
Ali, you are an inspiration! I love the questions you bring up! ❤
Watching your vides helps to think and to think is to live. Thanks, Ali
insightfully refreshing Ali you never miss thank you again for your time and help I really appreciate it keep up the great work Sir!!!
Well your content does deliver those goals of yours to me definitely!
Ali, thanks so much for this. This was a great video to watch and listen to at the beginning of the day. Very inspiring and motivating.
Hey Ali i am following you from a long time and every time i get insights from your work. Thanks :)
This video might be the most valuable for me on your channel so thank you for creating and posting it! 🙏
This video is very useful, so I'm glad you re-evaluated last year! Thanks.
I started journalling accidently but superisingly i maintained consistent for several months and every time i saw a video about how powerful, meaningful and mind changing by increasing self awareness i get motivated to continue journalling.
If someone asks me what would i want to keep if another worldwide chaos or disease happened again I would choose to have my notebook and pen !
I am regular viewer and fan of your content thank You For sharing your videos had positive impact on my life ! :)
Reading your book right now. I’m taking notes and loving it!
This video blew me away. I kept pausing to take down notes and I couldn't help but fantasize about my actual answers to the prompts you suggested. In fact, I can't wait to start working on those prompts when I'm free to do some journaling of my own. I'm only subscribed to two RUclips channels (yours and Mark Manson's) and I'm often stunned by the solid content you produce regularly. Thanks a lot Ali!
You know you've been given some great advice when you start doing it in your mind🤩
@@MagicalMindsByAmra I'm pursuing that feeling all the time!
Ramadan Mubarak Ali❤
Thank you Ali. That was pretty good. Trust your instincts on this one and keep doing the videos you want to do ❤
Hi Ali. Thank you for talking about 10 Powerful Journaling Prompts That Can Change Our Life. So exicited to watch this helpful video. Keep up!
Thanks for this fantastic video Ali. You inspire 🙏❤
Hi Ali, One thing I do notice about you is your humility, it inspires a lot of trust. Personally I struggle with this and I would love to know what tips you have for not letting things go to your head?
I'm glad you don't just make videos for stuff you have products for. I've used a lot of these from you from other videos. Very helpful
this is the most meaningful video you've ever created. thank you.
This video give me many options for start my journaling, moreover i think is very interesting put questions with myself for be better and improve my life, thank you.
Ali, your videos are truly inspiring, and what sets them apart is the emphasis on living a fulfilling life rather than just focusing on the grind.
Exactly!
Ali's content inspired me finally to launch my RUclips channel. Thank you, Ali, for being a mentor from another part of the world.
That video is amazing. So impactful. Great job Ali. Keep on rolling 🤙
Well timed video and I like that the prompts Ali suggests aren't generic; very thought-provoking and the applications he talks about outside of journaling itself are great too.
One journaling prompt I'd like to add is... no prompt. AKA "Morning Pages". Just setting aside time in the morning before the chaos to brain dump free-form, longhand style thoughts onto paper (physically writing is a must, slows you down). I'm a fan of this because there's no requirement for structure and that in itself is stress-relieving for me, but I do like to mix it up with prompts every now and then.
I love this, it really helps.
WOW, so thrilled to have just found you!!! Love your thinking! Looking forward to learning with you!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you for this video. Ready to gain perspective and put it into practice
thank you Ali for your tprompts, it really makes you think about how your current life is and if its what you want, so inspiring!!
You are amazing and I love your content. It is truly inspiring. Thank you.
Amazing prompts Ali !! My fabs where wheel of life and goal/bottleneck question, I am gonna use those. And Ali you actually inspired me to lead a more meaningful and intentional life, thanks a ton for that..😀
Not gonna lie, I’ve started watching it like “hmm, let me see if there’s really sth relevant here” and ended up lovin it. Trying this prompt right away (I use to journal in a more poetical/ emotional way). Thanks Ali, you’re still a guy worth following online - do not follow many 😊
Thank you for these Journaling prompts Ali☺️
Journalling really makes life meaningful..
Great video! One of my personal favourite prompts is from Struthless, he has this one for when life hits the fan: how is this the best thing that could have happened to me? It seems really counterintuitive, like it should never work, yet you know what, it always does! Well, for me it does, and that reframing of an initially entirely negative situation has gotten me through a whole lot this past few years!
Love journaling prompt video!
2 year perspective and the goal and bottleneck thought are my fav
I've been following you for sometime now and that was definately one of my favorite videos. I really appreciate the work you put out Ali.
Gorgeous video ❤Ali Thank you for continuing to create useful and inspiring content. I also journal (almost) daily before I go to bed. The only two questions I ask are: "what am I thankful for today"...oftentimes it's little things like how that beautiful baby smiled at me on the subway, my slippers, my sauna, or how kind the the lady was at the grocery store... The second question is "what would make tomorrow an awesome day" . All the things I list are things that I have complete control over like: do my morning devotional/meditation, my workout, 4 hrs. of deep work, etc. Thanks again Ali 👏👏👏
Ali, you really impacted my life, really a big portion of who I am right now, is because of you, thank you so much for being there for me...
It's surprising to me that Ali loves teaching！Anyway a lot of love from a prospective teacher❤
appreciate all your content,much love😊
Ali content really inspired me and I´m changing my life, thank you, Ali.
Highly inspired by this channel always, as we started our journey here on RUclips. Getting there, slowly but surely. :)
What an amazing and inspiring Video, Ali! Very eye opening. Thank you. 😊
Watching this from South Africa and i really enjoy your video's please keep up the good work ,Give thanks❤
Hi Ali, thank you a lot for all videos espitially this one, it's very strong end deep :)
Ali, your videos are always helpful
Being a part-time youtuber, my latest 2 videos were on the 'Why of journaling' and journaling prompts, seeing Ali making a video on the same topic is reassuring 👏 Small joys of life 😀
HUGE like! So important right now as I move toward retirement from education and need to focus on a health issue. 😊
Hi my name is Farai from Zambia. personally i never comment on videos no matter how impactful they've been, but i just want to say thank you, your content really encourages me. I'm a first year economics student at the University Of Zambia, just trying to adjust to this school thing while also trying to start a business. I constantly have a lot on my mind and your videos really help me organize my thoughts. I really can't express just how much your videos help me. please keeping making videos and i hope one day ill be able to buy your book Feel Good Productivity🙂.
Sometimes I doubt that Ali is a mentalist that reads our struggles and upload the right video at the right time.
This is your secret Ali right ?
Thanks for sharing as always.
