How to Journal : a step by step guide

[@sarveshdevrukhakar]

📝Summary: 🎯Part 1: Why should you journal? • R1: To find clarity of thoughts. • R2: To document things of your life. (The more you forget, The less you learn.) • R3: To remember your past. To see how your older version looks. 🎯Part 2: How to journal? 1. Structured: Where you use a framework to journal, you answer some set of questions. 2. Unstructured: There are 3C's of doing it. • L1: Collect: Writing/Noting down the topics/subjects anything that you want to write in your journal about. • L2: Consolidate: Where you more elaborate on those collected topics, you write your complete thing in your journalling. • L3: Connect: Read your previous entries of journal, where you can find PATTERNS in yourself (Self Awareness and Self Reflection)

Thank you a lot

[@akshaytayade4012]

Thank you 😊

[@paramespara3582]

I keep a journal and have been keeping it for the last 42 years. If someone wants to see real change in themselves this is an absolute necessity. It helps to the self on track between your aim and realisation of the aim. I really need to get in touch with you Dr. Sid .

I am journaling since September 2007 for almost 14 years writing by hand and my life started improving since 2011

I am a teenager,and I journal mostly when I am sad It helps to control the overwhelming thoughts and emotions😊

[@shaktisingh3864]

Hello, Dr. Sid. I'm a big admirer of your work. I've been journaling for the past 5 years. My favorite part of the week is sitting down and flipping through my journals from previous years. I love to see what problems I was facing, how I was feeling on the same day, and how far I've come. It helps me identify patterns and gain an outsider's perspective on my own experiences.

[@sarahk3060]

I have struggled with journalling for quite sometime now. I have known that it is a super helpful tool for documenting my life and enhance self-awareness but have not been able to stick to it for whatever reason. Doc, your video is so well-structured, easy to understand and motivating. Thank you for it! Hoping to re-start and stick to it using the tips you have shared.

[@Asish.Prasad]

Generally I don't comment on videos, but this video on journaling give me a simple and clear vision about it and how it work.

[@Dream-xv9su]

After Andrew Huberman this is my favourite channel. Keep.up the good work sir and bring these type of informational contents

[@DeepeshXThakur]

same i feel

[@avishkar_raykar]

BRO SAME!

[@ridetravelandexplore]

the dialogue "dil ki sunu ya dimag ki" was all about "pfc ki sunu ya limbic system ki"😂😂 that's why drunk people get imotional & speak out their heart.🥂

[@vaishnavisoni186]

Yesss you made the dialogue dramatic I'll use it with my friends now 😂

[@ridetravelandexplore]

@@vaishnavisoni186 my pleasure 😉

[@rivi1011]

It should be the other way round because the limbic system is Dil and PFC is dimag, so "Limbic system ki sunu ya pfc ki"

[@musicalmacaroon388]

It’s funny how older things come back in fashion. I used to write letters to God, everyday and share my feelings, emotions as a best friend. I never knew that I was in a habit of writing journals in a way and that developed a strong relationship with God. 🙏🏽 But life got in the way and I stopped all of that. Picked up a few times when I realized but was never consistent with it. So now I can make time for a 5 minute journal expressing gratitude to God, what things I need to do in a day that would make it a great day and a few daily affirmations. 🙏🏽 Happy April 🌸🌱

[@waykarrutuja]

The reason you gave to write a diary was epic. I haven't heard such a reason before albeit I've watched many videos of journaling. Thank you

[@sharvarisk4621]

Than you Sid. I started journal from past 5 years. After Journaling I feel relaxed. But no one told about this . This vedio helps me lot to motivate my students how it is important to us.

[@priya14th]

I started journaling few years back and it is life changing. Expressing and understanding emotions has become easier with journaling. I also do journal designing . If anyone wants I can share the templates

[@sidhantjhala1248]

Please share the templates

[@AnushkaKumawat-lm3vp]

Erm.. I was Journaling since i was in my 8th class.. and Unknowingly i'm following the same pattern you told in this vedio. So that's the reason behind i had improved since that time! Well explained vedio❤

[@Explorer_23]

I usually do unstructured Journaling but there are days when I forget to write and don't read my old journals so the improvement that I might have made goes unnoticed. This video was much needed, thanks for your dedication. 🙏❤️

[@becuriouschinmay]

OP! Dr. Sid! After Huberman you are the 2nd neuroscientist's work I admire.

[@NanamiKento-n8b]

Thank you for giving clarity about how to journal I have started journaling 2months back after writing down thoughts in dairy i feel free feeling but the problem was that i was not consistent

[@Ankur_Shukla_95]

I have a fixed daily routine for Journal and it turned out to be Magical. First when I wake up. Last just before I sleep. 30 minutes each ❤❤

[@comicsworld9434]

This is truly awesome i can't believe i was doing it all this time so that's where all the self-awareness came from.

[@meghanajambagi]

I started journalling last month ...I journaled for like 15 days then stopped for 20 days then again journaled for 2 days and stopped all together and haven't touched the book since ...my main issue is consistentcy in anything or everything 😕 I listen to so many advices but do not implement just procrastinate

I am doing JOURNALING after watching on KZbin and also after getting consulted from a MENTAL health expert mam . That mental health expert madam s advice helped me a lot. And JOURNALING was one of them ❤

[@user-dm8tc4zr7x]

Hey Sid. I never leave comments on KZbin and I watch lots of it… anyway your video is the most comprehensive and easy to understand about topic of journaling, I always wanted to start it but I was always felt very confused about it. Thanks so much for explaining this so well and keeping it short and to the point.

[@mayankbatra774]

Thanks Dr. Sid! I was doing that on google sheets! I think it is a wonderful thing. Thank you for mentioning about that and the reason why this is important and how it relates to PFC and Limbic sysytem. Thank you!

[@aroravirat]

I am also doing on Google Sheets, but via Google Forms. I have a simple form for ready recording the thoughts. They all collect in a Google Sheet with automatic date and time tag.

[@mayankbatra774]

@@aroravirat that is a nice way as well! I will give it a try! Thanks

I've watched a ton of journaling videos but so far this one's the best! Well structured and highly informative❤

[@roblox-alanbeckerfan]

Journaling is a nice habit. Me im obsessed with having a journal now. Cheers and Good luck

[@karish99999]

hi Sid ! Superb video ! The first point about how our limbic system is in control when we are too much in our emotional state and then when we express through words ..how we shift from limbic to PFC ! Mind blowing 😇... I do journal when i am overwhelmed with too many things, gives me better clarity and helps me focus better !! Thanks for the video....your videos are amazing !! All the best !

[@noa7000]

Did unstructured, this three step is so valuable! Dr. Sid you really know how things work. How many times should we connect in a week? And yes we forget a lot, amazed how much. Our brain is made for creativity not for storage hence journaling is a great way to store all our emotions, frustrations, ideas, etc!

[@gauripandya9795]

I am havocked.....Me and my friend was just talking about stuff like this and after it was over I opened youtube and I got this....God has his own ways....🥰

[@triyasreesarkar3638]

When I write my emotions I relax a bit and I continue for two to three days but then when everything is going okay I forget to write and feel those heavy emotions and get stuck there and then I write again and this pattern continues. I'm not consistent with it. I'll try your solution. Love your videos ❤

[@anantbodhichaurey6732]

It's like mindfulness and again you can go into the memory or any event of your life ❤

[@aravindr1663]

I thought of doing journaling for a quite long time but I don't know how to start it but your video helps me a lot.

[@heartyandhealthy]

I do journal and feel very calm whenever I write something down. Now I got an explanation for this.

[@Aditi_Hulke_20]

Ohh! Really Amazing ❤ The thing is I had started journaling a year back & I do it regularly. As Dr. Sid says about structured & unstructured journaling, I were used to do unstructured journaling at the starting but the fascinating thing for me is I don't know how I've shifted to structured journaling, well... At starting I was curious to know about the things that I will miss if I haven't watched it but then realised that all the things he says I've done it & I realised that 3C part of journaling doing it since from long time. Well... Thank you Dr. Sid for your content ❤ & I'm very grateful to you becuz ur helping me in the journey of self awareness. Great to see U in another video 🙂

This is a brilliant video! Dr Warrier, you have so wodnderfully explained the rationale of journalling. And I have not even reached half way through your video..I just had to first compliment you and say Thank you🙏

Thanks Mahima

[@kapoormahima]

Im a fan of all ur videos... interesting topics and very enlightening indeed!

[@sunithajayaram3655]

Yes for 2 months I am journalling everyday

[@amrinderdhaliwal420]

📝 Sometimes, we learn important lessons from experiences. These insights can help us avoid making the same mistakes again. It's a good idea to write them down in a diary so we can remember them later. I started doing this a month ago, and it's been really helpful for me. I call it as "Deep Realisations" 😅.

[@suparnamondal7228]

This was really great introduction to journalling, i just did not knew how do i do it but thank you for sharing it with us , i have now more clarity and you made it very simple and understandable

[@jyotsnaviriyala3454]

Timestamp: 0.34. Regular journaling didnt help much but i found a lot of comfort in journaling via blogs. When i sit down to write on a topic that has had an impact on me, it allows me to channel all my thoughts into a structured story telling format and somehow it worked for me. It allows me to express abt that topic almost fully. Regular journaling used to get too random and scattered. So, I’m keen to see the rest of the episode to see if what you suggest is very different from what im doing!

[@aazeftuff8407]

BEST ADVICE EVER. THANK YOU !!

[@ruchaganjewar8999]

I write down daily in my dairy about what I feel on that certain day and other things of that day even good or bad . I do this daily from last 4 years

[@vaishalivaidya7978]

My.Journal has been one of the most cathartic experiences and one of my best therapist ever.

[@tejaswinipatil.]

Everytime I start journaling...just as resolution of the new year and then after max two weeks I gave up on it....bcoz my mind thinks that there nothing special in my day to write it down...so I can't continue it the whole year...and the loop goes on since 10 years now....😢

[@rohanthorat3337]

Same. I write only when I'm extremely overwhelmed, like once in 2 months

[@Dracula-w8z]

Attach a goal. And then state the progress in journal. Hope it helps. Goal can be of fitness/ gym streak/ study routine/ relationship check etc.
