I love your endless commitment to yourself! I had a thought - what if we did a 7 day challenge together as an online community? E.g. a guided 7 day shadow journalling challenge? 💛
Shadow journaling - give your lower self a voice - don't repress your difficult emotions or they will pop up more often Off brand challenges - doing sth slightly out the norm for a few days -Become comfortable with uncomfortable feelings Every action is a vote for the person you want to become Sit with your feelings Gratitude rants Note taking -contextualise and apply - understand how to use the information in your life
I would love to see an in-depth video about Off-Brand Challenges! Do you do one every week? Do you journal about the process throughout and afterward? Are there particular challenges where you've kept the habit in your daily routine? I'm fascinated by this idea!
I've never heard of shadow journaling, but I am excited to look into it and learn more. I struggle with suppressing my emotions and often feel too much all at once after trying to keep it all hidden. I would love to be able to work through that. Thanks for sharing all of these tips!
Notion changed my life! I tried journaling with pen and paper but the connection between my mind and my Pen took too long and I always got tried/bored of writing down my feelings. Now I feel so much clearer and able to take on today tanks! :)
My tendency when journaling is to try and get all the negative thoughts written down. This is definitely good sometimes but I don’t know that it should always be my default… so tonight I tried a gratitude rant and actually loved it! I’m definitely going to try this more often, thanks for the suggestion! 🥰❤️
Hi, Michelle! Really like your message in this video but I couldn't help but notice, that those pop-up phrases in the center tend to distract me more than draw attention and I lose the thought I was following. Please consider maybe reducing the quantity. Thank you again for the video!
I really want to say thank you for this video. Your videos have helped me so much, but this one probably the most. Especially the part with sitting with hard and difficult feelings helped me a lot today, as I was comfortable on the train after almost 2 years of feeling all anxious. I probably did this exercise 3 times in the one hour ride, but it just felt a lot better after every time. So, thank you so much for your content!❤️
I use the app Obsidian. Linking thinking. This app changed my life in such a positive way. Mindchanging and deep insight. Such a powerfull tool. On the beginning difficult to learn like an Instrument but afterwards so powerfull. Every thought is digital connected and high searchability. A second brain.
That new journaling method seems so interesting and as someone who struggles to step out of their comfort zone, I've managed to take smaller steps toward that. I feel like I fizzle often in social situations or with fears that other people don't seem to share. It's troubling and anxiety-inducing but I must take things one step at a time. Thank you for such a thought-provoking video.
was listening to a podcast that said, “it’s important to live life by design rather than emotion. Basically, sticking to a routine is what allows us to be the healthiest version of ourselves (especially when you're fighting these demons ex. OCD for me). I’ve had to overhaul how I approach taking care of my brain (exercise, journaling, studying etc) by practising mediocre consistency. Now I try to put in consistent 50-60% effort into my journaling habit - to make sure I do it I began recording it and posting it on YT. After a really bad depression phase I started to believe I couldn’t change and I’d feel that horrible forever. Historically I have a habit of going too hard, not being able to sustain the Herculean effort, giving up and hating myself. So now I’m trying to give a small, consistent mediocre effort everyday. And its crazy how it adds up.
This video ties in perfectly with the book I am reading now, 'the mountain is you'. I have wanted to start shadow journalling for a while but I am incredibly good at procrastination it, because I don't really want to feel my feelings. I will try a 7 Day challenge tomorrow ☺️
really enjoyed the video🤍i've been in need of a refresh and i want to replace some old habits with new ones 💫 as scary as it sounds, i think i'll give shadow journaling a try 😖taking notes when reading seems like an obvious thing... still, i don't do that in a "personal" way so i'll be adding that to my routine as well.
What an incredible video... so different to all the regurgitated stuff out there! I'd love to see a video on your note taking style and ways you contextualize the content 😁❤
Shifting your internal state is verry important. I never heard of shadow journaling, will look into that. It's a great one! I also upload videos on self development and wellness. I'm new to the game so bear with me 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I would love to see how you contextualize your notes! Sounds like a very interesting approach... I've been planning on starting a wisdom journal, where I would put notes that I take from books I read or from videos that I watch (like yours, for example), but maybe knowing how to contextualize them would have an even Better impact
My sincere compliments for how you succeed in always offering valuable and inspiring content. Thank you! ... and as I am an astrologer I wonder which house is you Virgo sun in (i would say the ninth)
Reading “Livewired” by David Eagleman right now, all about how the brain literally does change, so this video seemed like a timely upload 😄 motivating as always! 🙏🏼
Your video was suggested by UA-cam. Years ago I watched your videos and subscribed .I liked your content.but I had to stop watching because of the background music .when it appears again,I checked to see if you stop using background music.unfortunately not .i really believe your content is valuable without background music.but you do you dear .
GIRL, you need to get out of your mind, or out of UA-cam and have a completely different life. Go the total opposite and that would make you feel more alive, trust me. This is insane, just living with three colors in your life is not cool. Life is in constant change, constant colors, different personalities, different stuff. Are you really alive or is it just your brain?
Hey lovely michelle! ❤ I watch your channel daily💎 I believe you deserve to reach a wider range of people (subscribers), So I've been wondering what is your marketing strategy for your whole business (youtube, app, life map)? I'm just a curious marketing student that hopes you big success❤💎💫💫

Sit with your feelings
Gratitude rants
Note taking

I really think shadow journaling sounds super interesting but I just don't understand what she means with "your lower self"

i feel you 😔i've never heard of it before but i totally stand by the concept of mediocre consistency as well.
Thank you for sharing this. 💗

Thanks for reminding me to face my uncomfortable moments instead of run away from them!
is there a place to find like a template for that little list you showed for processing hard emotions?
really enjoyed the video🤍i've been in need of a refresh and i want to replace some old habits with new ones 💫
as scary as it sounds, i think i'll give shadow journaling a try 😖taking notes when reading seems like an obvious thing... still, i don't do that in a "personal" way so i'll be adding that to my routine as well.
Absolutely give shadow journaling a try! I hope it's helpful for you.
whenever I get the notification of a new video from your channel, I'm like YAS!! Intentional boooooost :)) Thanks Michelle!!
Such a great video! I really liked how you explained note-taking
Your videos are so encouraging to me! Thank you for sharing!!
Could you please a do a video on your note-taking system?
Do you follow a set of journal prompts for the shadow journaling? I'd love to give this a go too!
Absolutely love your vlogs. This was so calming to watch☺
What an incredible video... so different to all the regurgitated stuff out there!
I'd love to see a video on your note taking style and ways you contextualize the content 😁❤
Thank you for the lovely video. I really enjoyed it 😊❤️

Thought this would help you with your note taking. Have a read of Tiago Forte's book Building a Second brain
love it dear

Ma'am, you are looking so beautiful. Please share your skin care routine ✨️
love this!!
Thank you for such a wonderful video. Loved the concept of Mini Off Brand Challenge. Gonna try it from today itself. 😁
Reading “Livewired” by David Eagleman right now, all about how the brain literally does change, so this video seemed like a timely upload 😄 motivating as always! 🙏🏼
How do i start shadow journaling?
Any book recommendations?
What do you do for a living?
those are some good books
❤️ great

Second!
Have you tried inner engineering?
First!
ESTJ?
INFJ!!
GIRL, you need to get out of your mind, or out of UA-cam and have a completely different life. Go the total opposite and that would make you feel more alive, trust me. This is insane, just living with three colors in your life is not cool. Life is in constant change, constant colors, different personalities, different stuff. Are you really alive or is it just your brain?
You're talking too fast
