I started writing a journal about 6 months ago and the difference is remarkable. Whenever I feel confused, sad, angry, out of focus I just write everything down. I don't know what actually happens but I suddenly feel better I get better clarity on the situation, I'm happier. I do all the above mentioned things except for affectionate writing, I'll start that too now. I love to journal. It helps so much. It's like magic. This is so true.

I think I’ll get myself a copy of 59 seconds. Thank for the “Maverick worksheet” is looking great. Henning Hi Yanik

Thank for the “Maverick worksheet” is looking great.

However I want to urge you, Yanik, to add AddThis Button (http://addthis.com/) to your blogposts in addition to other buttons you have, it seems easier to add links on Twitter, Facebook and Myspace with it. More people will share your stuff.

I’ve been journaling for about four years and I find it really helpful to get ideas and successes down on paper. If ever I start to doubt what I’m doing is the right thing I can always look back on all the successes in my journal.

I re-started journaling and made a video about journaling recently too. I especially like the parts on progressive review and expressive writing.

Sat, 27 Feb 2010 18:34:04 +0000 http://www.internetlifestyle.com/blog/?p=1027#comment-6950 Hi Yanik, I've been following your stuff for a while now, and must say am pretty impressed with all you've done. Re journaling, I've done it off and on, and actually have found it pretty useful, expecially the expressive writing bit. What gets me is describing day's events which can sometimes get deadly boring... I guess I need to find a style of writing that is comfortable. The other issue is, it gets mixed up with my to-do lists, and daily accounts and other stuff, and in the end none of it gets done... :-( Still, past record is no guarantee of future performance [as the fine print says in mutual fund ads :-) ] and I'm going to start again with this boost from you... Thanks, Prakash Hi Yanik,

I haven't written in my journal in forever, i have to get back in it! Another great benefit to journaling is that when you look back you can see where you were in life, business and how far you've come. It's like a "Life progress report" and you see how fast you grow. I think that is beneficial because it allows you to keep growing and keeps you in a humble state because you know you can always learn and grow more. I love how you broke down the different types of journaling. I just sort of recorded in my journals but using it as more of a tool to release negative emotions and stay positive is a great idea! I love it! Thanks again for the post! David Great Post Yanik! I haven’t written in my journal in forever, i have to get back in it!
