Journaling is my self-therapy! I started writing letters to God to help me deal and be heard from my family traumas as a child at 10yo! I have been doing it for 30 years now its my therapy session! 😌 ☺
@@designermombygeetachugh2022 hey, that's cool! You can just buy a notebook or a diary, with all the dates of the year, and just write a little each day. Just try to write a little for each day regularly. I hope this helps.
If you think you can't journal, here's a tip: start writing a letter to your close friend or family who you trust. Just catch them up with what's up... Not with the intention to send it. You will slowly pour your heart out
I totally agree with this. This is actually how I started talking to myself. I would talk to people in my head, just talking to them, telling them random things. Then I began directing that voice to myself. I kind of got the inspo from His Dark Materials and how Lyra talks with her daemon. I began saying things like, "I don't think we saw that coming." "Do you remember what mom said about that plant?" "I think we're scared and that's ok." Then I'd have car conversations, just talking out loud like this with myself while I drove home. Somehow that helps release stress. I began to notice that people don't really listen to me the way I listen to them and it was starting to make me bitter. I wished someone paid the same amount of attention to me instead of just always talking about them and their life. I found this way I could be that person for myself because I know that I care wholeheartedly. I stopped expecting that from people because I know that everyone always has something going on within themselves and it has nothing to do with you and you shouldn't take it personally.
Another great way to start, is write a letter to your 10 year old self and talk about what you've learned.... and also write a letter to yourself 10 years from now. It's a very insightful practice! :)
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my UA-cam channel 7 months ago about self development. Now I have 663 subs and > 100 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
I started journaling at the beginning of the pandemic as a way to track what was going on. This morphed into something so much more. It's a place where I can pour my heart out, speak from my soul, work through my traumas and triggers and track my self-development and spiritual journey. I understand the resistance to journaling but I can tell you it's well worth the effort.
That is amazing. I started doing it during my pregnancy. Now I have a journal for my son, talking about our first year's of life, even some of my mistakes, like losing my temper with him, etc. I just wanted him to know how much he was wanted and how much he is loved.
Dear Radhi Thanks for all these explanations. - I speak french, sorry for my english. - I had the habit journaling in the past, then I moved to another appartment, another life then I had multiple sclerosis, Journaling became very sad for me, then I stopped writing. Listen to you now I understand it was a gig mistake . Today I choose to begin again journaling. You gave me hope, I love so much your Joy , your Fun and you are super beautiful . With all my gratitude
This has helped me big time. Right now, I am in a state where I really don’t understand what I am going through. I’m not sure if this is because I’m alone, sad, anxious, pressured, overwhelmed or whatever. Whenever I feel sad or lonely, I would always watch your videos and it somehow made me feel less alone and inspires me to keep going. I used to journal before and stopped for some unknown reasons but when I watched your video and I was like “Yeah, why not go back to journaling?” I started writing yesterday and it somehow released negative draining energies I had yesterday. I guess what I wanted to say is, thank you for inspiring many people. I am a fan of yours. Please continue doing great inspirational contents. You are helping a lot of people who are going through a lot in this time of pandemic.
Wow!! So inspired to start journaling again!!! I used to do it all the time when I was younger, but now find myself scrolling social media instead- and feeling horrible about myself when I’m done because I’ve just wasted so much time and basically compared or judged everybody else’s life, while ignoring what’s really going in inside my head. Going to make this a daily habit again. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
honestly, i have tried journaling on and off and it never worked for me until i found a valid (for me) reason to do so, like for example i will think something that i think is a big realisation about life, about me or my patterns in life and it will be profound but it isn’t always a fun experience when i share them with someone else, they might say something that dampens my mood or just something that makes me go from :) to :( so journaling works for me because i can tell it to myself in a way and still go back to it. And it is a safe space for me to write and go through a mental process. Another thing I would say is that a daily practise isn’t necessary according to me if it doesn’t click, because the pressure to do it daily when it just doesn’t work for you makes you go off rails and never do it again.
I've been journaling for years but also very on and off because I felt like it's only worth journaling when something significant happens or if I feel certain feelings but never on a regular day. I loved listening to you talking about journaling because I really want to journal more regularly and reflect more and make it a every day habit! And I totally get you with writing in filters and go back and rewrite sentences in case someone will read in the future, but you're so right, we should really feel safe and okay writing without fear and filters! This video was so good, it was like listening to a podcast!
There are so many things about what you said that I could relate to. Like about being a people pleaser and being judgemental. It's really hard to stop being a people pleaser. It's a big struggle
You are so amazing! I am also a person who feels average in most things and I’m ok with that but I really struggle to see my strengths. I must really start journaling for sure. Thanks for your vulnerability. It’s so inspiring!
I think I owe you an apology Radhi. I internally used to judge people who have a different life that may look easier on the outside ( you’re naturally gorgeous for example, or financially in a good place, safe country etc) And I would think they are just preaching and have no idea.. but this video showed me how relatable and similar our experiences in life are. This was very beautiful to watch and eye opening. Sending you lots of love ❤️
Journaling is such a good way to really begin to reflect on who we are, through our own voice, and words. Sometimes, all it takes, is a slowing the breath, slowing down ourselves, and listening. Journaling really helps sort out the monkey mind, and allows us to center in on who we are! Great video!
I used to journal and without *almost* filters but my friend got hold of it one day and read it entirely. I felt so violated and have not been able to journal properly after that day. I want to start it again. It was helpful to have a space for my own self. It was a really scary thing having someone see you like that.
I think this is one of the things I’ve struggled most with writing and probably the reason I don’t write in physical diaries. I like writing in my journal and leave it in my room or night stand or bed. But one time I was talking with my brother’s girlfriend and she just so casually and bracingly started talking about something I wrote in my diary. And I just acted like it was okay. I didn’t say anything to her. But I haven’t been able to write in journals. I also did therapy when i was about 17 and I would sometimes read diary entries to my therapist. And I quickly realized that that wouldn’t work. I began to filter things. I wasn’t truly writing about whatever was going on in my head. I didn’t even allow myself to shed layers because already i was going in with the knowledge that someone else would read it. So I write in the note app in my iPhone. I can also access them on pc if I need to type on a keyboard. I notice that on there I am more honest. I actually write about things that might scare me. I know that if I died, no one would be able to access them without knowing my phone passcode. And that thought helps me to be honest in my writing.
Wow what a shitty person. I hope you kicked them out of your life you don't need those types of people. Definitely journal again and don't hide it. If someone comes into your home and violates your privacy, they are the problem not you.
I totally understand. Happened to me. I still journal but it's too far and few in between. I've not been able to pour my thoughts ever since my diary was invaded. And it was more than 10 years ago, in 2008. And yet I feel like someone might read it so I'm too on the surface or worse I don't journal at all.
in my case it was my mother and my cousin who read it . god it is hard to start again..i wish i could type really well but i cant so computer is hard for me to journal in
This is the first time I'm seeing one of your videos but what I absolutely LOVE about you is how relaxed and authentic you are. It's so beautiful and inspiring to see, especially on this platform. Your you-ness is magnetic x
Sometimes, it's just so strange that I relate to you on so many levels. So, I have been journaling from last two years (on and off) and what I have realised is that I only write when I feel overwhelmed with something or someone and I would always end my writing with some encouraging sentences for myself. It has definitely helped me analyse my emotions and patterns and it has for sure helped me GROW. But I really want to write when something makes me "happy" or "excited" and not just when I am sad or anxious or confused.
I tried journaling multiple times at different phases of my life primarily during the darker times...n going back toread them just made me scared of the negativity and toxicity and sadness that i ended up getting rid of the writeups n stopping it altogether. Aso hv always done it towards the end of the day, so i duno if exhaustion contributed to tht aswell..should restart it in the morning to see how it goes...thnks fr the lovely video...im alot older than u but u rso mature, its heartening to see ur self help videos
This is not the first video that I have watched about journaling; but by far the best. Your honesty is the best 'convincer'. I have attempted it half-heartedly a few times, but may be have up too soon. However, that said, writing is my go-to in very many moments. Thanks for the nudge, dear little sister!
I love you so much radhi❤️ you are an epitome of how efficiently one change their life through law of universe and meditation. You are living example that every human being has a purpose even though one might discover it a bit late
Radhi - Thank you for this! It’s so beautiful and so apt and so pure. I definitely feel you and feel like I am right where you are about your thoughts on journaling. I got into this habit and one thing it has helped me is stopped me from OVERTHINKING! And being too EMOTIONAL.
I started jounaling and here are a few things from this video that helped me: 1. Don't worry about other people reading this. It's not the grammar or words that are important. You need to be honest with yourself. 2. Use your journal as a way to find solutions and not just identifying problems. Thanks Radhi!
at the begining . i made mistakes by chance with grammar for failing into the bad habit of perfectionism in each paragraph instead of my heart while i was journaling but after i saw your video now i feel more confident to write .by the other hand, journaling brought some unexpectedly surprises to my life as being more creative and i start writting some fairytale stories.
❤️This one felt like being on a 1-1 video call with you and just having an honest and open conversation with one another! So so beautiful!!!! It takes an ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL heart to be as open,honest and VULNERABLE to everyone and I LOVE YOU FOR THAT! Starting my journey into Journaling with this video as a guide! Will let you know how it goes❤️❤️❤️❤️LOTS OF LOVE RADHI!!!
Radhi you are awesome. Love listening to you. I have been Journaling for 4 years. meticulously since 1.5 years and it's my go-to tool for anything and everything. My best friend. I love seeing how much I have evolved when I read my old journals and also it has all my wits
I loved this video! Thank you for sharing your tips, benefits and what you learnt from it. I've been journaling for 2 years and it's nice to have a place where I can be honest with myself and get to know myself better without judgment. Some days my mind doesn't stop, I grab pen and paper and I easily organice everything that was noisy in my mind. It is amazing! It is definatedly a beautiful and effective exercise. It also helped me to go to therapy with much more clarity of what was going on.
Totally agree with her I have been Journaling for almost one and a half year and I love it It made more conscious of myself and of things which I try to ignore without knowing .it just helps me to be authentic with myself ❤❤❤
These insights would help me journaling much better. I am on and off journaling. I have never reflected back after journaling that I am going to do on weekly basis and journal daily. Thanks ✌️
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences with regards to journaling. I have been journaling off and on for many years. It was the same with meditation. About 15 months ago ( during the pandemic), I became very serious about my meditation practice and I have been consistently meditating. Three months ago I started journaling consistently and it gave me such peace and what has worked for me is having 2 different types of journals-one for an adapted morning pages ( I free write but I do take some time moments to reflect on what is going on with me) and another journal where I write an inspirational quote, my daily affirmations, my goals, what I am grateful for. I have found this process very healing as I can get stressed. I notice a significant difference in how I feel should I skip it.
OMG !! Thank you radhi for touching upon subject of looking for validation from friends on family in every decusion. I could so relate to it. Instead of learning to trust ourselves and our decision.
I've been Journalling for 5 months now and made it all fancy to hype myself and to practice regularly but I have to mention that this practice has made me evolve into a more productive person and can't wait to try your ideas 💜💜
I started journaling this year....and the biggiest take away frm this video is that...keeping your mind open and pouring your heart out...and to reflect on it after u write it...to learn what was going on in your mind... Secondly,to trace back the reason to trigger. I can't thank your enough radhi❤️❤️
Thanks Radhi for pouring your heart on journaling. I definitely was looking forward to find a video on Journaling and got blessed with this. I have been journaling for few years, but without any reflection. So did not get to see much difference it brought to my life. You are an angel came here to bless us and make our lives better!!
I thank Radhi for this video, recently I was thinking to start journaling to make my thoughts (especially the deep deep deep jumbled thoughts about me of which even I am not aware of )get out of mind and make sense to me. In one of your videos, I have asked you to talk about repressed emotions, maybe this is what I was looking for(trapped thoughts). Once again, thank you so much. I can truly relate to how you said "You were saying something, and you were feeling something else(conflicting thoughts)"
This video brought tears to my eyes. I'm happy you shared it. I also love to journal, I write about my struggles and then when I return to my journal I can clearly see my strength in moving past what was troubling me. Thank you Radhi 💕
I was a bit scared of journaling before like I thought it wasn't something important but now thanks to your video I sarted recognizing how it can hugely impact my life and help me grow further in the future! Thank you Radhi for being honest, raw and for having this sublime positive energy ♥
OMG I so resonate with everything you said about you, your journaling experience , even your career. You ate doing and living a life I want to do and live
I have also been journaling on and off for 10+ years. This was a sign to start up again. I love your honesty and you sharing your raw experiences 🙌🏽🥰. Love love love your channel
The last statement you made about being the bridge is so important ..even if we can not doing this in action..just by being interest yo know so you can send heeling thoughts to someone who is hurt ot lost in their life journey ..really makes a positive difference..all what you shared this video is heartfelt
just listening to you talking about journaling was enough to make me jump all in. I have always heard about journalling, but always been afraid to put ink on paper. After listening to you, I am sooo sooo excited to start journalling and pouring my heart out on paper. Can't wait to see the benefits !! Thank you Radhi so much for sharing your insights.. I am grateful !!
Journaling helped me cope with depression and problems. it is cathartic. A teacher once asked me why i was writing so much and i told her it was healing. she didn't understand me because back then the world 'healing' and journaling weren't popular
Radhi is such a good and adorable role model. I really admire her. It also helps me feel proud of myself actually because despite my life experiences I have never turned to drugs, alcohol, sheesha, or any other such thing even though majority of people around me did including my evil step siblings.
I've been journaling since I was 28 almost 29. Now it's been two years and I feel I've reached some sort of maturity through reflection. We definitely build a reliable relationship not only with paper but mostly with ourselves. And as you said, Radhi, we realize that our mind ain't have the power but us. ⭐Thank you very much for sharing yourself to the world, I learnt a lot from you. You are an inspirational person, soul and woman.💜
I should agree it is because of you I could able to sit and focus for a 30 minutes insightful vlog. ONLY someone's personality can hold me in place. I have been journaling for almost 3 years on and off and sometimes ran out of ideas on what to journal about. I find your contents be so useful for and and you are one of the person I look forward to see everyday 🥰❤
20:20 really hit me. "Sometimes you can be so noble in the way that you are acting, that you infuse ego into it. And then it becomes a place of superiority."
I absolutely love you! I am binge-watching all your videos and I can identify my problems so clearly as you open up about your issues! Honestly, first I was a little judgmental about you but the more I watch your videos, the more authentic and lovely you are!! And YES, you are super fun and joyful and soooo HUMAN❤️❤️❤️
You had talked about your journaling method of what I said, what I should have said in the Women of Impact interview. I adopted it and it has changed my life so much!! I am more trusting, positive and loving that way. And now this video!! It is a jackpot! Thanks, Radhi :) Love, India.
You are a jewel for speaking so openly and sharing these things about yourself. It takes a lot of courage and self honesty. A healthy type of vulnerability. I am just like you in so many ways you’ve expressed here. And I have always struggled with journaling. But I know that consistency would help with those troubles. I appreciate what you’ve done here immensely. Namaste. 💚
Believe me 🙏🏻or not I see you as my elder sister guiding me at every pt. and pushing me in right Direction 💕❤️ I follow your water routine ❤️ To meditation 🧘♀️ to healthy eating habits I feel i am evolving everyday because of you di 🤗✨ Love from INDIA 🇮🇳❤️🤗
What a brilliant video!! I started journalling in February as I realised I didnt like sitting with any negative emotion. I love positivity and feeling good so whenever I got a wave of sadness, jealousy anger etc I would surpress it. Journalling did bring to light how sitting with negative feelings can be so powerful and often I was able to get to the core of each emotion I associated with being negative. Interestingly I do not even refer to feelings as negative when I now journal because to be honest they're not. They're feelings and they are there for a reason. I had not heard about free writing before so thank you for mentioning and explaining what it is. I'll be trying it this evening. Lots of love and good vibes 🤗
Loved listening to you while I was on my morning walk today. I have never listen to anyone while exercising but you caught me from them start to end. It was helpful in many ways as I am a creative person and could connect with so many things you spoke about it was wonderful. Looking forward to more video from you thank you❤️
It's as if she is speaking my mind!!!!! I don't think I've related to anyone so hard on the internet as I have with Radhi. Your journey gives me hope!!
I am 33 and I have been journaling since I was 15... and I completely agree with u !! It’s a therapy ! It has helped me overcome many mental hardships in life ...
#Journaling has been my secret daily practice for clarity, organization, and self-discovery. I always recommend my friends and clients to put pen to paper and it's incredible to see how the magic unfolds... ✨ Excited about this video!
I like your idea on reflecting on what you wrote in your journal. I find i stop writing "authentically" if i feel I'm being too negative or judgemental. But if we reflect on our journaling as a witness, that can itself be a big relief too! Thank you for sharing!!!
This is allllll incredible! I totally agree-getting to know yourself more is incredible! And I feel like when I am more aware of why I do things then I can be more intentional with my actions, and this has been a game-changer!
Ugh!! There are no coincidences, I just restarted journaling after a year hiatus & I’ve felt so lost for some reason. This has helped me tremendously and getting back into the flow 👏🏻 thank you thank you!
I can so relate, I’ve been journaling on/off about 10 years, haven’t in a few months but I’m motivated to begin again today. And now that we’ve sold our house, bought an RV and traveling the country, I have so much excitement to journal about 😆Thank you
Hi Radhi, I have started journaling recently & already loving it. I rarely look back at what I’m be written though however, flipping through the shear volume gives a satisfying feeling..
Why am I crying 😭 It’s about journaling and I’m here bawling my eyes out 😭 Thank you Radhi, 99% of what you’re saying speaks to me so deeply. I just realise I needed this. Thank you. ❤️
I loved journaling and I had started it from my childhood even not knowing what Journaling is but it wasn't consistent listening to you talking so beautifully I think I am going to start journaling again.. Thanks for reminding and sharing this and the thing that striked me was trusting your own opinions.. It was almost like listening to a friend talking to you loved it ❤❤
Omg Radhi, thankyou! I don't remember the pain and things I use to feel at one point of time. I had a feeling maybe something is wrong with me, thanks for clearing that to me. I don't even remember the memories I had with people and everyone keeps asking me, 'do you remember this do you remember that'? Yes, I have been through hell and I feel sad sometimes. But now I am okay! Thank you 💞 and Namaste. 🙏
I've rewatched this video and you have given me the kick to start journaling! Thanks Radhi, you're such a beautiful soul thanks for being such an inspiration 🙏🏼✨💚
This was the most calming video ever! I could listen to you talk for hours lol. I’m still working on journaling on paper - I usually try and have a dialogue in my mind about stuff bc it’s hard for me to find time to journal (mainly bc I think it’s become so mainstream and I have this stigma that journaling requires certain vibes - cozy quite area, a candle, the “perfect time”). I think I’m going to try free writing for a while and see if that helps me open up easier!
I actually came across reflective journalling through my college. I wanted to try it out after hearing the benefits and I did. Then i wasn't sure to what extend should I write; or the fear of someone else reading it, or just talking to myself all alone was scary place to be in. Then i searched and found ur video. i really found it useful to know I was able to feel some of the things you said and I am looking forward to the fruits of journalling. I have been bad at expressing myself a lot, Isay things I never mean and its tough because I cant apologise and unhurt somebody from whats already done. So journalling really did help me raise awareness on how I feel any goodness or worry that had been looming around on my mind. Now I plan to confront it all and create that clear bridge with myself first. Thank you Radhi.💕
In the entire video i was torn between sharing it with as many people as possible and continuing to watch it. It's soo wholesome. Thank you so much💛. I have been doing mediation and i can actually feel the mindfulness it has given me. And though that's actually something i still feel something is left out. Your video told me what it is. And then i admire how nicely you put your thoughts to words. I hope it's something I'll be able achieve through journalling. Thank you once again.
Rhadi ! Thank you! I feel as if i am struggling with the over giving you explained and not trusting myself. How else did you go about that? Just journaling ? You are amazing and so beautiful please keep the knowledge, light and love coming :)
What a delightful video!! I’ve been Journalling for over 10 years now and one of my favourite things about is it being able to look back at your memories. It’s also wonderful to see personal growth in the way you process thoughts and emotions. In the toolkit of living a fulfilling life, journalling is certainly very complementary to meditation.
Thank you very much for this video 🙏 Journaling is really a life changing thing.. I can also see the difference.. I have started recently. I love the way you open up, I'm able to connect with the fact you pointed out "I thought myself was not judgemental, but I was judgemental "
I’m intrigued about how we both share so many similarities especially regarding feeling about what we got in us to offer? I found myself tidying as something I can do it pretty effortlessly and beautifully and making the space serene among all the activities in the world. I found This strength of mine with journaling 😊 I resonate with you when you say that people go through certain challenges to reach a point in life. And lastly I don’t understand finances either. I’m creative too . Warmly , Ramya
Thankyou for this, from the bottom of my heart. And thankyou for being yourself, being so raw. I could relate to so many aspects at so many levels. Listening to you is therapy in itself. God speed, Radhi.
This was so amazing and incredibly well expressed. Love to see your passion behind this. I am just starting a new journal and it's everything you've stated, I agree 100%. Blessings to you ❤
Thank you so much for sharing this in so much detail. Everything you said is very correct. I strongly agree. This is I have been through. I like the part you shared that at the beginning you are scare to open the urgly side or at least the truth. Because back of your mind. You think someone is watching you judging you. Now I get to the point I share every trace of my thoughts with myself. Love you
I just want to tell you that I Love your channel! it's like therapy for me, i learn so much from your videos. I'm glad I found your channel! Thank you 💙
I can see that journaling has helped you choose the right words to deliver your message. Thank you very much for this beautiful video. Definitely starting my journey with journaling today!
Journaling is my self-therapy! I started writing letters to God to help me deal and be heard from my family traumas as a child at 10yo! I have been doing it for 30 years now its my therapy session! 😌 ☺
Amazingg
Wow
I wanna start doing it
Can you like.. Please tell how to actually begin with it
I am 16yo btw
@@designermombygeetachugh2022 hey, that's cool! You can just buy a notebook or a diary, with all the dates of the year, and just write a little each day. Just try to write a little for each day regularly. I hope this helps.
Wow!!! I thought I was the only one who used to write letters to God .. I feel validated
If you think you can't journal, here's a tip: start writing a letter to your close friend or family who you trust. Just catch them up with what's up... Not with the intention to send it. You will slowly pour your heart out
I totally agree with this. This is actually how I started talking to myself. I would talk to people in my head, just talking to them, telling them random things. Then I began directing that voice to myself.
I kind of got the inspo from His Dark Materials and how Lyra talks with her daemon. I began saying things like, "I don't think we saw that coming." "Do you remember what mom said about that plant?" "I think we're scared and that's ok."
Then I'd have car conversations, just talking out loud like this with myself while I drove home. Somehow that helps release stress. I began to notice that people don't really listen to me the way I listen to them and it was starting to make me bitter.
I wished someone paid the same amount of attention to me instead of just always talking about them and their life. I found this way I could be that person for myself because I know that I care wholeheartedly. I stopped expecting that from people because I know that everyone always has something going on within themselves and it has nothing to do with you and you shouldn't take it personally.
No..
@@albaperez8614 this is so good..yes that's a great approach...
@@albaperez8614 Tell something good about yourself to other people too, in your mind !!!
Another great way to start, is write a letter to your 10 year old self and talk about what you've learned.... and also write a letter to yourself 10 years from now. It's a very insightful practice! :)
When others upload a video: 🚶♀️
When Radhi uploads a video: 🏃♀️
Loved this!!
Soooo true dr

Accurate! :)
truer words have not been spoken
31 minutes of Radhi's words? I feel blessed

honestly, i have tried journaling on and off and it never worked for me until i found a valid (for me) reason to do so, like for example i will think something that i think is a big realisation about life, about me or my patterns in life and it will be profound but it isn’t always a fun experience when i share them with someone else, they might say something that dampens my mood or just something that makes me go from :) to :( so journaling works for me because i can tell it to myself in a way and still go back to it. And it is a safe space for me to write and go through a mental process. Another thing I would say is that a daily practise isn’t necessary according to me if it doesn’t click, because the pressure to do it daily when it just doesn’t work for you makes you go off rails and never do it again.
yes! I actually try to do it atleast thrice a week depending if I have or have not something to share!
I've been journaling for years but also very on and off because I felt like it's only worth journaling when something significant happens or if I feel certain feelings but never on a regular day. I loved listening to you talking about journaling because I really want to journal more regularly and reflect more and make it a every day habit!
And I totally get you with writing in filters and go back and rewrite sentences in case someone will read in the future, but you're so right, we should really feel safe and okay writing without fear and filters!
This video was so good, it was like listening to a podcast!
The fact that she literally speaks my mind and puts it all together so easily makes me feel so grateful to listen to radhi
There are so many things about what you said that I could relate to. Like about being a people pleaser and being judgemental. It's really hard to stop being a people pleaser. It's a big struggle
Has anyone here who loves journaling worked on visual journaling? @radhi devlukia your tips and your smile are all just positivity and radiance!
You are so amazing! I am also a person who feels average in most things and I’m ok with that but I really struggle to see my strengths. I must really start journaling for sure. Thanks for your vulnerability. It’s so inspiring!
I think I owe you an apology Radhi. I internally used to judge people who have a different life that may look easier on the outside ( you’re naturally gorgeous for example, or financially in a good place, safe country etc)
And I would think they are just preaching and have no idea.. but this video showed me how relatable and similar our experiences in life are. This was very beautiful to watch and eye opening.
Sending you lots of love ❤️
Journaling is such a good way to really begin to reflect on who we are, through our own voice, and words. Sometimes, all it takes, is a slowing the breath, slowing down ourselves, and listening. Journaling really helps sort out the monkey mind, and allows us to center in on who we are! Great video!
Mediation. Prayer. Self reflection.
I used to journal and without *almost* filters but my friend got hold of it one day and read it entirely. I felt so violated and have not been able to journal properly after that day. I want to start it again. It was helpful to have a space for my own self. It was a really scary thing having someone see you like that.
Yes ...I know what you mean...such an invasion of privacy
I think this is one of the things I’ve struggled most with writing and probably the reason I don’t write in physical diaries. I like writing in my journal and leave it in my room or night stand or bed. But one time I was talking with my brother’s girlfriend and she just so casually and bracingly started talking about something I wrote in my diary. And I just acted like it was okay. I didn’t say anything to her. But I haven’t been able to write in journals. I also did therapy when i was about 17 and I would sometimes read diary entries to my therapist. And I quickly realized that that wouldn’t work. I began to filter things. I wasn’t truly writing about whatever was going on in my head. I didn’t even allow myself to shed layers because already i was going in with the knowledge that someone else would read it. So I write in the note app in my iPhone. I can also access them on pc if I need to type on a keyboard. I notice that on there I am more honest. I actually write about things that might scare me. I know that if I died, no one would be able to access them without knowing my phone passcode. And that thought helps me to be honest in my writing.
Wow what a shitty person. I hope you kicked them out of your life you don't need those types of people. Definitely journal again and don't hide it. If someone comes into your home and violates your privacy, they are the problem not you.
I totally understand. Happened to me. I still journal but it's too far and few in between. I've not been able to pour my thoughts ever since my diary was invaded. And it was more than 10 years ago, in 2008. And yet I feel like someone might read it so I'm too on the surface or worse I don't journal at all.
in my case it was my mother and my cousin who read it . god it is hard to start again..i wish i could type really well but i cant so computer is hard for me to journal in
This is the first time I'm seeing one of your videos but what I absolutely LOVE about you is how relaxed and authentic you are. It's so beautiful and inspiring to see, especially on this platform. Your you-ness is magnetic x
That judgement part is so damn true..the way u put it..noble..ego..feeling superior...it happens alot ...eye opening!!!!
Sometimes, it's just so strange that I relate to you on so many levels.
So, I have been journaling from last two years (on and off) and what I have realised is that I only write when I feel overwhelmed with something or someone and I would always end my writing with some encouraging sentences for myself.
It has definitely helped me analyse my emotions and patterns and it has for sure helped me GROW.
But I really want to write when something makes me "happy" or "excited" and not just when I am sad or anxious or confused.
its the exact same with me :)
I tried journaling multiple times at different phases of my life primarily during the darker times...n going back toread them just made me scared of the negativity and toxicity and sadness that i ended up getting rid of the writeups n stopping it altogether. Aso hv always done it towards the end of the day, so i duno if exhaustion contributed to tht aswell..should restart it in the morning to see how it goes...thnks fr the lovely video...im alot older than u but u rso mature, its heartening to see ur self help videos
This is not the first video that I have watched about journaling; but by far the best. Your honesty is the best 'convincer'. I have attempted it half-heartedly a few times, but may be have up too soon. However, that said, writing is my go-to in very many moments. Thanks for the nudge, dear little sister!
I love you so much radhi❤️ you are an epitome of how efficiently one change their life through law of universe and meditation. You are living example that every human being has a purpose even though one might discover it a bit late
Thank you for your sweet words 💛💛
Radhi - Thank you for this!
It’s so beautiful and so apt and so pure.
I definitely feel you and feel like I am right where you are about your thoughts on journaling.
I got into this habit and one thing it has helped me is stopped me from OVERTHINKING! And being too EMOTIONAL.
I started jounaling and here are a few things from this video that helped me:
1. Don't worry about other people reading this. It's not the grammar or words that are important. You need to be honest with yourself.
2. Use your journal as a way to find solutions and not just identifying problems.
Thanks Radhi!
at the begining . i made mistakes by chance with grammar for failing into the bad habit of perfectionism in each paragraph instead of my heart while i was journaling but after i saw your video now i feel more confident to write .by the other hand, journaling brought some unexpectedly surprises to my life as being more creative and i start writting some fairytale stories.
❤️This one felt like being on a 1-1 video call with you and just having an honest and open conversation with one another! So so beautiful!!!! It takes an ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL heart to be as open,honest and VULNERABLE to everyone and I LOVE YOU FOR THAT!
Starting my journey into Journaling with this video as a guide! Will let you know how it goes❤️❤️❤️❤️LOTS OF LOVE RADHI!!!
Please keep uploading these types of videos, its very refreshing and really helpful for individuals like me. Lots of love to you .
Radhi you are awesome. Love listening to you. I have been Journaling for 4 years. meticulously since 1.5 years and it's my go-to tool for anything and everything. My best friend. I love seeing how much I have evolved when I read my old journals and also it has all my wits
I loved this video! Thank you for sharing your tips, benefits and what you learnt from it. I've been journaling for 2 years and it's nice to have a place where I can be honest with myself and get to know myself better without judgment. Some days my mind doesn't stop, I grab pen and paper and I easily organice everything that was noisy in my mind. It is amazing! It is definatedly a beautiful and effective exercise. It also helped me to go to therapy with much more clarity of what was going on.
Absolutely! Thanks for sharing that b💛
Totally agree with her
I have been Journaling for almost one and a half year and I love it
It made more conscious of myself and of things which I try to ignore without knowing .it just helps me to be authentic with myself ❤❤❤
Omg that feeling of what if someone reads my journal, you described so perfectly how I feel. Thank you for so genuinely saying that
These insights would help me journaling much better. I am on and off journaling. I have never reflected back after journaling that I am going to do on weekly basis and journal daily.
Thanks ✌️
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences with regards to journaling. I have been journaling off and on for many years. It was the same with meditation. About 15 months ago ( during the pandemic), I became very serious about my meditation practice and I have been consistently meditating. Three months ago I started journaling consistently and it gave me such peace and what has worked for me is having 2 different types of journals-one for an adapted morning pages ( I free write but I do take some time moments to reflect on what is going on with me) and another journal where I write an inspirational quote, my daily affirmations, my goals, what I am grateful for. I have found this process very healing as I can get stressed.
I notice a significant difference in how I feel should I skip it.
How is she speaking about journaling but also giving life lessons and how to go about things at certain situations,just amazing❤️❤️❤️
OMG !! Thank you radhi for touching upon subject of looking for validation from friends on family in every decusion. I could so relate to it. Instead of learning to trust ourselves and our decision.
I've been Journalling for 5 months now and made it all fancy to hype myself and to practice regularly but I have to mention that this practice has made me evolve into a more productive person and can't wait to try your ideas 💜💜
This video really motivated me to start Journaling, thanks so much Radhi. I have now my notebook and pen ready!
I started journaling this year....and the biggiest take away frm this video is that...keeping your mind open and pouring your heart out...and to reflect on it after u write it...to learn what was going on in your mind...
Secondly,to trace back the reason to trigger.
I can't thank your enough radhi❤️❤️
Thanks Radhi for pouring your heart on journaling. I definitely was looking forward to find a video on Journaling and got blessed with this. I have been journaling for few years, but without any reflection. So did not get to see much difference it brought to my life. You are an angel came here to bless us and make our lives better!!
I thank Radhi for this video, recently I was thinking to start journaling to make my thoughts (especially the deep deep deep jumbled thoughts about me of which even I am not aware of )get out of mind and make sense to me.
In one of your videos, I have asked you to talk about repressed emotions, maybe this is what I was looking for(trapped thoughts). Once again, thank you so much.
I can truly relate to how you said "You were saying something, and you were feeling something else(conflicting thoughts)"
This video brought tears to my eyes. I'm happy you shared it. I also love to journal, I write about my struggles and then when I return to my journal I can clearly see my strength in moving past what was troubling me. Thank you Radhi 💕
I was a bit scared of journaling before like I thought it wasn't something important but now thanks to your video I sarted recognizing how it can hugely impact my life and help me grow further in the future! Thank you Radhi for being honest, raw and for having this sublime positive energy ♥
OMG I so resonate with everything you said about you, your journaling experience , even your career. You ate doing and living a life I want to do and live
I have also been journaling on and off for 10+ years. This was a sign to start up again. I love your honesty and you sharing your raw experiences 🙌🏽🥰. Love love love your channel
The last statement you made about being the bridge is so important ..even if we can not doing this in action..just by being interest yo know so you can send heeling thoughts to someone who is hurt ot lost in their life journey ..really makes a positive difference..all what you shared this video is heartfelt
just listening to you talking about journaling was enough to make me jump all in. I have always heard about journalling, but always been afraid to put ink on paper. After listening to you, I am sooo sooo excited to start journalling and pouring my heart out on paper. Can't wait to see the benefits !! Thank you Radhi so much for sharing your insights.. I am grateful !!
Journaling helped me cope with depression and problems. it is cathartic. A teacher once asked me why i was writing so much and i told her it was healing. she didn't understand me because back then the world 'healing' and journaling weren't popular
It's therapeutical
Radhi is such a good and adorable role model. I really admire her. It also helps me feel proud of myself actually because despite my life experiences I have never turned to drugs, alcohol, sheesha, or any other such thing even though majority of people around me did including my evil step siblings.
I appreciate you.❤️
Omg since last year I have started journalling and it changed myself as a person. Can't wait to hear your perspective on journalling!!!!!!!!💜💜💜
💛💛💛
I've been journaling since I was 28 almost 29. Now it's been two years and I feel I've reached some sort of maturity through reflection. We definitely build a reliable relationship not only with paper but mostly with ourselves. And as you said, Radhi, we realize that our mind ain't have the power but us. ⭐Thank you very much for sharing yourself to the world, I learnt a lot from you. You are an inspirational person, soul and woman.💜
I should agree it is because of you I could able to sit and focus for a 30 minutes insightful vlog. ONLY someone's personality can hold me in place. I have been journaling for almost 3 years on and off and sometimes ran out of ideas on what to journal about. I find your contents be so useful for and and you are one of the person I look forward to see everyday 🥰❤
20:20 really hit me. "Sometimes you can be so noble in the way that you are acting, that you infuse ego into it. And then it becomes a place of superiority."
I absolutely love you! I am binge-watching all your videos and I can identify my problems so clearly as you open up about your issues! Honestly, first I was a little judgmental about you but the more I watch your videos, the more authentic and lovely you are!! And YES, you are super fun and joyful and soooo HUMAN❤️❤️❤️
You had talked about your journaling method of what I said, what I should have said in the Women of Impact interview. I adopted it and it has changed my life so much!! I am more trusting, positive and loving that way. And now this video!! It is a jackpot! Thanks, Radhi :) Love, India.
Omg, I don't have words for how much I love you❤️.You are such a beautiful soul.
You and Jay are truly gems.
ILOVEYOU both.
You are a jewel for speaking so openly and sharing these things about yourself. It takes a lot of courage and self honesty. A healthy type of vulnerability. I am just like you in so many ways you’ve expressed here. And I have always struggled with journaling. But I know that consistency would help with those troubles. I appreciate what you’ve done here immensely. Namaste. 💚
Believe me 🙏🏻or not I see you as my elder sister guiding me at every pt. and pushing me in right Direction 💕❤️
I follow your water routine ❤️
To meditation 🧘♀️ to healthy eating habits
I feel i am evolving everyday because of you di 🤗✨
Love from INDIA 🇮🇳❤️🤗
How love your honesty 💕💕
What a brilliant video!! I started journalling in February as I realised I didnt like sitting with any negative emotion. I love positivity and feeling good so whenever I got a wave of sadness, jealousy anger etc I would surpress it. Journalling did bring to light how sitting with negative feelings can be so powerful and often I was able to get to the core of each emotion I associated with being negative. Interestingly I do not even refer to feelings as negative when I now journal because to be honest they're not. They're feelings and they are there for a reason. I had not heard about free writing before so thank you for mentioning and explaining what it is. I'll be trying it this evening. Lots of love and good vibes 🤗
Loved listening to you while I was on my morning walk today. I have never listen to anyone while exercising but you caught me from them start to end. It was helpful in many ways as I am a creative person and could connect with so many things you spoke about it was wonderful. Looking forward to more video from you thank you❤️
Love when u talk.. It's just so peaceful..thank u always..u make small changes happen in our lives..bless you.
It's as if she is speaking my mind!!!!! I don't think I've related to anyone so hard on the internet as I have with Radhi. Your journey gives me hope!!
I am 33 and I have been journaling since I was 15... and I completely agree with u !! It’s a therapy ! It has helped me overcome many mental hardships in life ...
You are so genuine and I value so much the content you share and how sincere you are. Your videos help me soooo much, you have no idea how.
#Journaling has been my secret daily practice for clarity, organization, and self-discovery. I always recommend my friends and clients to put pen to paper and it's incredible to see how the magic unfolds... ✨ Excited about this video!
I like your idea on reflecting on what you wrote in your journal. I find i stop writing "authentically" if i feel I'm being too negative or judgemental. But if we reflect on our journaling as a witness, that can itself be a big relief too! Thank you for sharing!!!
This is allllll incredible! I totally agree-getting to know yourself more is incredible! And I feel like when I am more aware of why I do things then I can be more intentional with my actions, and this has been a game-changer!
Ugh!! There are no coincidences, I just restarted journaling after a year hiatus & I’ve felt so lost for some reason. This has helped me tremendously and getting back into the flow 👏🏻 thank you thank you!
I can so relate, I’ve been journaling on/off about 10 years, haven’t in a few months but I’m motivated to begin again today. And now that we’ve sold our house, bought an RV and traveling the country, I have so much excitement to journal about 😆Thank you
i just started seeing your videos and im so excited! i want to see them all right away. You are such an inspiration for me to become better.
Hi Radhi, I have started journaling recently & already loving it. I rarely look back at what I’m be written though however, flipping through the shear volume gives a satisfying feeling..
I love journaling and agree to most things you said!!! 💛💛💛💛
Why am I crying 😭 It’s about journaling and I’m here bawling my eyes out 😭 Thank you Radhi, 99% of what you’re saying speaks to me so deeply. I just realise I needed this. Thank you. ❤️
I loved journaling and I had started it from my childhood even not knowing what Journaling is but it wasn't consistent listening to you talking so beautifully I think I am going to start journaling again..
Thanks for reminding and sharing this and the thing that striked me was trusting your own opinions.. It was almost like listening to a friend talking to you loved it ❤❤
@Radhì Devlukia okay thanks 😊
@Radhì Devlukia No I am sorry I am not interested
@@proseekadhakal2033 it’s not radhi it’s someone else using her name
You are such a beautiful person inside & out! Thank you for sharing your ideas & your heart with us!
I just love watching her talking whole day...
Omg Radhi, thankyou! I don't remember the pain and things I use to feel at one point of time. I had a feeling maybe something is wrong with me, thanks for clearing that to me. I don't even remember the memories I had with people and everyone keeps asking me, 'do you remember this do you remember that'? Yes, I have been through hell and I feel sad sometimes. But now I am okay! Thank you 💞 and Namaste. 🙏
I've rewatched this video and you have given me the kick to start journaling! Thanks Radhi, you're such a beautiful soul thanks for being such an inspiration 🙏🏼✨💚
Love this. Thank you sooo much reminding me how important journalling is. I sometimes do it but not daily, now I will xx
This was the most calming video ever! I could listen to you talk for hours lol. I’m still working on journaling on paper - I usually try and have a dialogue in my mind about stuff bc it’s hard for me to find time to journal (mainly bc I think it’s become so mainstream and I have this stigma that journaling requires certain vibes - cozy quite area, a candle, the “perfect time”). I think I’m going to try free writing for a while and see if that helps me open up easier!
I actually came across reflective journalling through my college. I wanted to try it out after hearing the benefits and I did. Then i wasn't sure to what extend should I write; or the fear of someone else reading it, or just talking to myself all alone was scary place to be in. Then i searched and found ur video. i really found it useful to know I was able to feel some of the things you said and I am looking forward to the fruits of journalling. I have been bad at expressing myself a lot, Isay things I never mean and its tough because I cant apologise and unhurt somebody from whats already done. So journalling really did help me raise awareness on how I feel any goodness or worry that had been looming around on my mind. Now I plan to confront it all and create that clear bridge with myself first. Thank you Radhi.💕
In the entire video i was torn between sharing it with as many people as possible and continuing to watch it. It's soo wholesome. Thank you so much💛.
I have been doing mediation and i can actually feel the mindfulness it has given me. And though that's actually something i still feel something is left out. Your video told me what it is. And then i admire how nicely you put your thoughts to words. I hope it's something I'll be able achieve through journalling.
Thank you once again.
You NEED to make sit down conversations videos about life lessons and things you learned! I loved that about this video and how you're authentic
Rhadi ! Thank you! I feel as if i am struggling with the over giving you explained and not trusting myself. How else did you go about that? Just journaling ? You are amazing and so beautiful please keep the knowledge, light and love coming :)
Thank you for a detailed aspect of Journaling, thank you for the insight Radhi!
What a delightful video!! I’ve been Journalling for over 10 years now and one of my favourite things about is it being able to look back at your memories. It’s also wonderful to see personal growth in the way you process thoughts and emotions. In the toolkit of living a fulfilling life, journalling is certainly very complementary to meditation.
Thank you very much for this video 🙏
Journaling is really a life changing thing.. I can also see the difference.. I have started recently.
I love the way you open up, I'm able to connect with the fact you pointed out "I thought myself was not judgemental, but I was judgemental "
Wow. I can feel that it's your experience of writing a journal not just script.. Very wonderful and encouraging video... Thank you for this video.
I’m intrigued about how we both share so many similarities especially regarding feeling about what we got in us to offer? I found myself tidying as something I can do it pretty effortlessly and beautifully and making the space serene among all the activities in the world. I found This strength of mine with journaling 😊
I resonate with you when you say that people go through certain challenges to reach a point in life. And lastly I don’t understand finances either. I’m creative too .
Warmly ,
Ramya
Thankyou for this, from the bottom of my heart. And thankyou for being yourself, being so raw. I could relate to so many aspects at so many levels. Listening to you is therapy in itself. God speed, Radhi.
This was so amazing and incredibly well expressed. Love to see your passion behind this. I am just starting a new journal and it's everything you've stated, I agree 100%. Blessings to you ❤
I do journaling but on n off , but your detailed description was so informative.. will definitely try n add those too. Thank you 🤗
Thank you so much for sharing this in so much detail. Everything you said is very correct. I strongly agree. This is I have been through. I like the part you shared that at the beginning you are scare to open the urgly side or at least the truth. Because back of your mind. You think someone is watching you judging you. Now I get to the point I share every trace of my thoughts with myself. Love you
I just want to tell you that I Love your channel! it's like therapy for me, i learn so much from your videos. I'm glad I found your channel! Thank you 💙
I can see that journaling has helped you choose the right words to deliver your message. Thank you very much for this beautiful video. Definitely starting my journey with journaling today!
Thank you,
I just love everything you talked about.. I do writw in my journal, but not everyday, and I don't really let my true feelings out.
