WHY VOICE JOURNALING?
Journaling can be about more than writing down your emotions. It’s a way to ***capture thoughts taking up space in your brain and clear your mind.***
Historically, people have written journals. But, this requires you to fully buy in and get yourself to sit down in front of a blank page. Many people swear by it, but I couldn’t get into the habit. Voice journaling solves this ***“blank page problem”*** by removing the barrier of “am I forming coherent thoughts that I can go back and read.” ***You can just ramble for 2 minutes and you’re done!*** It also lets you do this while on the go like your morning commute or an afternoon walk.
While talking about how you feel can be powerful, there are lots of other ways you can incorporate “journaling” into your life. It can help ***clear your mind and make you more successful*** in many aspects of your life.

FIVE IDEAS
1. Talk about something good that happened this week - Its easy to ignore good things that happen every day. Talking about these highlights can boost your mood!
2. Brain dump first draft of an email - Sometimes getting started is the hardest part.
3. Talk through a problem you’re stuck on at work - This doubles as “rubber ducking” in addition to getting your ideas down.
4. Ramble to create your todo list for the day - Many dread sitting in front of my todo list app trying to figure out what they need to do.
5. Recap 1 new thing you learned in a day - Help reinforce the new idea. You’ll be less likely to forget it.
