Keeping a Daily Journal in Times of Stress
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 сен 2024
- When the world is changing it is hard to stay calm amongst so much uncertainty and chaos. Journaling helps me process my reactions, feelings, and emotions when rapid change is happening. Here are 5 prompts to help you begin:
1. What happened today?
2. How did I react, and how did it impact me?
3. Who did I love today?
4. What did I do?
5. What can (or can't) I control?

Journaling has been such a sanity saver for me this past week!
So glad to hear that Kellie!
Your voice is so calming. ❤
Thank you ❤️
I think everyone should be journaling as a way to get through this difficult moment and as you said.. to reduce anxiety. anyways, l've just bought a baronfig... it is amazing.
I really appreciate your videos.
cheers
Even 9 months later this is relevant. I’ve been subscribed for a year but it’s all coming together for me now. I’ve been catching up on past videos combined with your newer content including the new blog. The gears in my head are turning and there’s an outcome. I’m just not sure where it lands. I’ll let you know when it lands. But thank you for the guidance!! ❤️
Thank you for this video, in these times we have to be there for everybody. Here in The Netherlands the times are getting harder. I wish everybody good Health and i want to give everybody love. I also journal everyday about what is happening here and in the world. Keep your head up people and love each other. There is enough hate in the world. I you know somebody is lonely, give them a call, help the elder and vulnerable people. Greeting from The Netherlands.
Thanks for sharing Shaif!
Love this Matt! Thank you for this and for checking in on us!
Camera focus still looking 👌🏼.
Having people at home and knowing it’s not just a week or two was a bit of chaos pressures. I swapped half day of work and half of kids sitting next to me and not working so much.
Great video. Hit the nail on the head with documenting everything. Writing something down is something for your kids to discover later on. That’s why I do it. It’s weird...these times are something we would read about in a history textbook growing up, and all of a sudden we are living through it. Appreciate the video brother, be well.
Thanks Matt, really appreciate you man - hope you and family are well!
RIGHT ON MATT!!! LSS, I started journaling in December of last year. I started doing bullet journaling to keep myself on track with tasks for my business. I found other planners just weren't working. All those systems were good and worked for a period of time. But after things changed with my business (way before this pandemic) I needed more of a minimalist method. I purchased the Habit journal. Come to think of it, it was you that I viewed when I was looking to purchase that journal. Your videos are helpful and they got me started on journaling. I just bought the Grow journals a few weeks before the pandemic hit. I knew I needed something to journal about gratitude, to acknowledge wins, appreciate things more, and to journal my thoughts and feelings other than what I was doing with my business. When the pandemic hit, I found that I was spending time scanning socials for news about the coronavirus. One morning, I said to myself that I needed to stop it. I needed to just journal in my Grow journal. Journaling set the intent for the day. I'm way more productive and moving forward faster on what I need to do in my business especially since everything that I will do in online for now. Keep up with the videos! You are doing something of value for anyone at any time. Not just now.
Happy Birthday, Matt's Mom. Birthdays during this time suck. Mine was the 20th.
This past week has been wild. It's been for me to be productive as a student when I'm more concerned about my family's well-being and safety. Your video was helpful, giving me ways to remain calm during these stressful times. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and meaningful advice. Stay safe.
You got this!
Thank you especially for the journaling prompts, Matt. Stay healthy! 🧡
Necesitaba algo así. Actualmente soy ama de casa. Y aunque tengo mucho por hacer, pero siento que anotarlo es repetitivo. Está semana estaba bloqueada, no sabía que anotar y menos sacar inspiración. Estas preguntas me ayudan mucho para esos momentos.
Thank you for speaking these thoughts and thank you for the questions!
Thanks for the advice. Stay safe. Take care. Greetings from Portugal.
This video has inspired me to journal more about how I'm feeling because, in all honesty, due to this chaos, I've been neglecting to check in with my journal about myself/how I'm currently feeling. 🙂
When I journaled before, I'd write about the things going on around me and the details of everything. I was very coherent in my thoughts. But because of my medical problems (I had an emergency surgery last year), I dwindled down on my writing. Maybe I should pick it back up again and be more honest with myself. 🙂
Thanks for watching Micah, hope it helps you do just that!
Journaling is definitely helpful everyday with what’s going on. Thank you for the prompts, I will give it a try 👍🏼
Hope you are doing well and thank you for still making your videos
The journal has been help too. Feel with day plan I’m really following it like an automation as I don’t have enough head space in the day to rethink. So helps.
I also feel sometime my job is to produce the book rather than the work. As the book tells the journey and that I’m on a controlled path.
My god I needed to see this.
Great video
Thanks for this Matt 🤗
My pleasure!
Thank you so much for sharing. We all share a commonality of what’s going on. Enjoyed your video and thank you for sharing your wisdom. You have a beautiful family. ❤️ Joy2plan

Thanks!
It would be great for you to do a video on how to create and identify new habits during disruptive times.
Slow down and own the moment, you are ok
Absolutely, we're gonna get through it :)
Do you think there is a layout you can show were you can journal with in your bojo daily?
I wish I had seen this video 4 months ago.
That video literally needed to be 5 seconds long... As long as I've got fresh beans and my aeropress... All is good.
Haha aeropress is truly great ☕
