    The part about repetition makes so much sense. Too many times I stopped myself from writing something because I knew I'd already written it, but whenever I occasionally reread my writings, I'd come across some good self-advice which I'd forgotten, and really should have repeated. I also needed that reminder that journaling really is for my own mental self, and not for the sake of productivity. I think that stuff belongs in planners, as journaling is more like a therapist than an assistant.

    I have journaled every day for 51 yrs. I am an ordinary person who has used this tool to mediate my mental health journey. The 438 volumes of my musings, drawings, collages and ephemera are now housed in the archives of the University of Northern BC. As I complete new volumes, they are added to the collection. My family did not value my products which is why I offered them to the school. Like MA, I journal for myself. Journalling is an extremely beneficial anchor to my day. ❤️🥳😀🌷🇨🇦

I guess I’m getting old (76) and after writing for that long and having my work digitized, I wanted to be completely understood. When the scanners get to 2023, and something’s good for me I want to use more vocabulary.
      I’m not sure I understand your question. Could you rephrase it?
      I love that you started so young! Good on you girl. Just take it a day at a time. I think drawing and adding ephemera keeps me “making pages”. I used to have to put it away when I was done each time. Now I have my place to myself and can leave it out ready to go. It calls me! I also do lots of stream of consciousness which is undemanding.

      Did you mean how did I reach out to theuniversity to archive my work? I wrote to several universities before I found this one who valued my work. The were enthusiastic about taking it. They still are. I send a new bankers box about every 6 months with about 6 volumes in each. Apparently it takes 3 yrs to digitize everything which is fine with me bc my stipulation is that they not be made available to anyone till I’m dead. I had 52 boxes to send initially, 49 yrs of constant production. I’m not a pioneer or a politician, or anyone special. I’m just an ordinary person who writes about her everyday life but they value that. That helps with the motivation to keep going. It’s nice to be valued.

    I'm so grateful for your work and these words, because I always felt "weak" for my attachment to journaling...my desire to write and rewrite and reexamine my values and virtues seemed peculiar and unnecessary. Not many people do this, so I felt strange and fragile -spirited to rely on journaling for this, but now I am comforted to have the words I didn't before... I am building a spiritual fortress :) thank you.

    13 days into Journaling.

    I had 4 bullet points.
    To keep my relationship solid
    -why I'm thankful for my wife.
    For myself something good about me or what I did.
    -why I'm thankful for myself.
    To help compare and inspire. Look for qualities I want and what I do to achieve it
    -how am I like my mentors/idols?
    And finally
    -"aha" moments and general reflection of the day.
    After this video I decided to add
    -what to expect for tomorrow and what I want to accomplish
    As well as
    -quotes from people who I find inspiration.

    I started doing basic bullet-journals to keep myself organised about 9 months ago and it's helped enormously, every day has a purpose from the moment I'm awake. I've more recently started adding in daily analytics (resting heart rate, sleep hours, number of steps, food, spending - if i don't have any numbers for that day I just skip it and move on to the next day, even a haphazard guide has been useful in prioritising things), and I've started journaling my memories of the day in the languages I've been learning; so I can practice the language but also so it forces me to think about my problems in simpler ways because I don't have the LOTE vocabulary for neurosis.

    Journaling is the best thing I have ever done. It helps summarize events of my day. The method used in my journal was train of thought writing. They were vagrant thoughts that needed to be exposed to the light. The journal that I wrote most in contained 420 pages. Of those pages, ~300 pages were filled with vagrant thoughts. I don't share my writing, but those entries are reminders that I am all things must come to and end. They are also reminders that I am not not invincible. I also made a point to refrain from using contractions as much as possible. I only write on the right page of my journal. When the journal is filled, I turn it upside down so I can continue writing on the right page of my journal. It's UA-cam videos, like this one, that inspires me to continue journal writing.

Sometimes its a reflection and talking about what i did during the day. Sometimes I write about something from my past...almost telling a story. Sometimes I try to work through something I'm struggling with. Other times, I think I'm writing lessons for my kids for after I'm gone. I find that I crave this time to put the pen to paper.

      This is true and natural to everybody. We are caught in several ways of doing life..
      The best thing is to know where you are indispensable.
      Otherwise, we are caught in everything and everything looks important.
      What a task a 20 year old can do don't need to be done by us. With experience and expertise we need to superwise, we need to understand the intelligence of other person before checking it right or wrong.
      Other best thing is trying to make best in your job but not to self -gain but to make most gain for the company. In this process we will know to take more responsibilities on our own and know what we can't do.
      The most permanent satisfaction outside comes from doing good to our relatives, our native place. Because these are ever lasting for us. (A less intelligent person will try to hurt intelligently. But actually same intelligence one can use to come over his own problems. This is why most people remain ordinary.
      So, we should know to forgive others before going into people. Otherwise one will be confused at the end of the day)

    I hate writing in journals. I want to change that. One reason i dislike it is that my hand is too slow to follow my thoughts; another one is that writing makes me relive it and therefore suffer again. I guess i can type instead of writing. And the avoidance of reliving it i guess is because I’m probably doing it wrong: focusing too much on the pain instead of rising above the problem instead of staying with what was said here: asking questions on how i can improve. Great video! I needed this. ❤

    I've just takin this back up but in a whole new way, as I have several journals that I believe will help me see aspects of myself that would have gone unnoticed. The last time I did this I remember being shocked at how much more I was able to see n understand about myself. After watching these videos I'm even more committed to this practice. Thank you for this video. I've only heard about journaling from individuals, I really didnt kno the history n significance in this.

    I've been going over the day I had for a while now. Thinking about the things I said. The ways I acted. I take those certain things I did or said and really question myself about it. "well that's not what I want to be seen as." after some time I didn't need to think that so much anymore
    It's nice knowing I'm already doing most of these things for myself, I really am making progress 😄

    Been a while since I watched a video twice back to back. Journaling has not appealed to me whatsoever, but I’m going back to school to finish my degree and I want to be able to write and communicate in general more effectively. This video helped convince me that journaling could help. I’ve just decided that I’ll shred it daily. This will help me not worry about writing well or profoundly. It is just practice. I’m satisfied with this plan. I’ll begin today.

    3. Kata Upanishad
    1 is a real incident happened between a dying master and student.
    2. In 500BC, what Buddha said before dying- everything what you see around will perish.. don't be attached like a fool who praises his every possession.
    3. Says that even good offers a boon a self controlled man had actually nothing. Only the habit of some self- control will give you permanent satisfaction.

    I dump my thoughts faster when using a voice recorder. I pretend I have 3 minutes to clarify an idea or to express what I'm feeling or else that chance will be gone for ever. This pressure gets the mind excited and forces your thinking to create and imagine on the fly. We also remember things better when we're excited. As for my paper notes, I take pictures of them and collect them in a folder in sequence and watch my ideas evolve on the computer screen. In case you are wondering what kind of things you can journal? My favorite is exploring what is and what is not, is there more and room for better, and mostly about subjects and interests that matter to me. I wonder and think about a concern of my own or personal weakness and then begin to research, explore and discover. After a while you'll have a pretty good hold on understanding a subject that you can start including it in your journals, expanding on a paradigm regarding an area of interest. I see the following as separate paradigms; Health, Personal Success, Business, Wealth, Personal Development. The reason I separate personal success and development is because developments are how we learn and grow about ourselves, how our thoughts and self evolve towards becoming and realizing our potential. Where as I see personal success as more about clarifying, adapting, planning and life challenges regarding the big picture and vision quest. Personal success also includes daily routine, limiting beliefs about the world, daily good practice like using a planner and calendar, exercise, long-term and short-term approaches, goals setting, winning spirit, and having a can do attitude, etc. Self-development is crucial because it involves getting familiar with matters of the self, and this self can make or break your personal success. Self-development will happen conscientiously or not. By being mindful (learn about mindfulness) you can manage your mind's garden and make corrections to flawed thinking and improve your reality. Have a happy life journey.

    In the evolving, essential, process of developing self-management skills - I strongly endorse personal accountability and journaling, and the multiple insights published by Ryan here. He is good friends with Marcus and can help you think more objectively regarding the process of developing life skills that not only endure, but improve with Practice in response to the lessons infused within your changing realities - that can endure, once you get them linked on the inside. And even more importantly, because you are evolving your Practice to also, through your success, correct your Self before others have to. These remarks have worked for 2000 years, I hope they at least cover '24 for you..;-). All the best for the New Year! My perspective: "You can't take ownership if you don't know what you own."

    1 help other whenever you can
    2 don’t let other hurt you, emotionally.
    3 trying to help those who want to hurt you.

    Very important information! Thank you. I’d like to ask, when is the best time to journal morning or evenings? Journaling, is it writing your feelings or writing what you got done over the day? Or do you write about your past? About past achievements or future goals? Or about how you feel about love? What is it exactly? Also, should you throw away the page you journaled so that it doesn’t get in anyone’s hands or do you keep it in a safe place and reread past pages now and then? Please if anyone can elaborate on this, I’d be very grateful!😀🙏🏻😀

    • @5pointsjust434
      @5pointsjust434 4 роки тому +1

      While even writing a diary, people as a beginner write what they have done and later gradually start seeing with what idea they have done that. Looking the day at the thought level is a philosophical approach. Only abstract thinkers can do that.. as I've seen. It is good!

    • @5pointsjust434
      @5pointsjust434 4 роки тому +1

      One cannot escape past.. experiences or achievements. And this past guides present, becomes future. So our achievements will become future goals.
      A good thing I can tell know is- everybody are worried about goals, targets. This becomes burden gradually because of life's general failures. Believe in working smooth hand from 9am to 4pm. This is not ordinary. This is morethan ordinary. I've seen people with decades of experience but still suffering to face a little failure. They reject failure but failures are most rewarding for future.
      After job take rest, relax in your hobby. And if your hobby becomes your profession you please think like.. you have chosen your fate
