The Overthinker's Guide to Joy with Jackie de Crinis | The Power of Journaling

Ep #5: The Power of Journaling

October 6, 2021

I’m expanding on the essential daily habits I discussed over the first four episodes of this podcast and introducing you to another: Journaling. This is one of my favorite ways to manage my overthinking brain, and it’s a hack I recommend to almost every one of my clients.

It’s interesting how often people push back on this idea. Journaling seems like an easy thing to do but making it a daily practice is a little more difficult. But once you get the hang of it and you see the benefits for yourself, it will become an integral part of bringing you calm every single day.

Tune in this week to discover the power of journaling. We have on average 60,000 thoughts a day, and with an overthinking brain, they’re even harder to sift through. I’m sharing why I believe journaling is the most powerful tool at your disposal in bringing more clarity and joy to your life, and how to get started, even if you’re currently feeling resistant to the idea.
