I started doing it a month ago and it is incredible, it develops the way you express yourself and even improves the way you talk. Reading is like cardio and writting is like lifting weights.

[@littlesheetable]

"Reading is like cardio and writting is like lifting weights." Yes! Love that!

[@emmasprout]

Love this

[@alfiedj]

Awesome quote bruh.

[@tonyt5218]

Bravo!

[@aubreyjames8795]

YES!

[@ragibishrak7862]

What magnificent class the guy has! He could be picked up in Hollywood.

[@truthjunkie2325]

He's too good for that realm....

[@kenz4063]

Lol my dream man, Matthew 😍

[@futtbucerson1820]

And do I have news for you. lol

[@doktormacak007]

What an original comment this is.

[@HeavyMetalCowboy90]

You’re confused. Hollywood doesn’t hire class…

[@klevengreg]

I started a journal in the hospital after I came back from Vietnam in 1967. It helped me to identify and deal with my PTSD. I couldn't really talk to anyone about my experiences (they couldn't understand them) so writing about them was how I dealt with it.

[@evedotcom]

That’s great. I hope you have people you are able to talk to about it now if you feel like it.

[@klevengreg]

@@evedotcom Thanks. Things have gotten better and more people are starting to understand what the vets went through. It's just too bad that our country keeps on producing more and more veterans. That has to stop.

[@joshuastclairmusic]

The journal is the most versatile tool. It changed my life.

[@designdestinyonline]

After 20+ years working in corporate America, I found myself with a medical mystery and jobless. I grieved my loss and I was very angry. Then one day I just started journaling. Whatever I felt or lesson I learned I wrote about it. Eventually it turned out I was creating poems left and right. Poems just flowed out. Never before would I have even imagined I could create like this. Journaling saved my life and I know if you can write, there’s only a right direction to go.

[@iPlayboyBoyd]

man... you are my insipiration. I'm 25 years old now, and I look back to when I was 15 years old seeing how that I've become the man I've always wanted to be. And no matter what I will always be chasing the next goal or step in my life because I know when I turn 35 I'm going to look back on when I was 25, and see that I've become even greater than the man I've wanted to be. Mr. McConaughey from the bottom of my heart I truly thank you for everything you've contributed to the world, and I wish you nothing but the best for you, your loved ones, and family. Much Love, James

[@versatale]

Well said brother, I look back at my own life and I see so much development. Life is beautiful

[@jenniferbessmer]

Dude. This guy made me smile. Love the free spirit ness. Also, what he says about the fears of writing in a journal helped.

[@ColinRuthem215]

This actually changed my life, I started writing and have began establishing lyrics for songs as I am a guitar player. Not only does it help me with my depression to get these things off my chest, but it has shown me that I am worth something sometimes and a reason to press on day after day. I now look forward to each days writing in an effort to collaborate my feelings and experiences, thanks matt..🙏

[@walkwithme4975]

Inspiration comes in many ways. I never thought that I was a creative person, but I paid attention to my thoughts, and wrote them down and doodled. I kept having thoughts about painting. I had never painted before. So I listened to my intuition, and I bought paint brushes and acrylic paints. I didn't know what to paint, but one day out hiking, I came across a beautifully painted rock, it said 'You Matter'. So I decided to paint rocks, and leave them in beautiful places for people to find (I live in the uk Lake District). From there some months later I painted a friend an abstract tree on canvas for his birthday. And now 2 years later my heart and soul is filled with paintings, mainly trees, which I am able to sell. By going within and trusting the information that was given to me and acting on it, I now have found my passion, and my purpose. We all have hidden gifts, we just need to release them, and journaling, and writing things down is the place to start, to find out what those gifts are.

[@LilyGazou]

That’s marvelous!

[@jomalley8455]

You had me at “poet and didn’t even know it” 🤣

[@alucardtepes5095]

From my own experience, it is absolutely real and truly inspiring! 👏🏻

[@Antheraws]

After journaling I began to be more aware of my life, how I operate, situations and surroundings I'm in, definitely worth doing for everyone at any stage of life.

[@CS-pm8kc]

I got one after my husband died last year! It helped me to deal with my grief!! Love this and love you Matthew!

[@TerryLivelyInk]

I'm 60 years old Matthew, and when I was in middle school I started journaling. I wish I still had those journals...all my feelings when I was just a kid growing up here in San Antonio. I LOVED Green Lights. So inspiring. I hope some day you do decide to get into politics here in Texas. We need you !

[@mathewdavidemcconaughey4890]

Thanks for the comments I love it,🤘 what's your name and where are you from?

[@nightbird5317]

I just adore this human 🪄♥️

[@lifeisagift.cherisheverymoment]

Matthew McConaughey, a National Treasure. I love his book Greenlights! Ten Stars. Tell it like it is, Brother.

[@craftyshell3822]

Wish I had journaled during my cancer treatment. At the time so many what ifs was running through my head I could not see past next week. I made it through all the tough treatments and surgery. I was beyond scared, looking back now wished I had written down the journey. Not to remember the hard times but to realize I was stronger than I thought. The day I found out I had cancer I called my friend and first words I said was "I can't do this". she replied yes you can. Said no I cant, and once again she said yes you can!!!. That was three years ago. Right now things are not so great for me personally but I am trying to have the faith to walk through this cause I know I am stronger than I think.

[@sawyerkelly4675]

I literally started my Green Lights journal 2 hours ago! This man has inspired me!! L.I.V.I.N.

[@SS-gx7tg]

I bought mine when it came out, got mine the day before xmas. Didn't think I'd use it. Wrote my first entry on 12/27, then again the next night, then again. It's now 2/18 and I haven't missed a day in almost 2 months. It's surreal how therapeutic it is to write down things in your head like this. I wish I'd been doing this all these years. I'm not the 'journaling' type of guy at all, I felt a bit silly doing it at first but now it's like a medicine that I know is good for me.

[@yannick4881]

Me too

[@sunflower-oo1ff]

Love your positivity Matthew...you are awesome not as an Hollywood artist...but simply as a cool and kind human being. Best to you and family xo

[@darlagoodman6417]

Mathew You are a BLESSED GIFT 💖

[@boomers2752]

Been journaling all my life. I’m same age as Matthew. Immediately watching this made me think of how much I’ve written of the same shit different year!! Now though the direction is changing and all sorts of emotions are surfacing... I write those down too. Half way through Matthew’s book... and realised that growing up he learned rules, respect, love, family... but that also he was able to individuate.. to become whole and that’s why I love him! I’m working on my individuation too and probably will for the rest of my life... but I feel more inspired now and excited to do things I’ve never done before. I want that adventure and stories to tell even if I’m 30 years late! 😊😊 x

[@alexanderlyon]

Excellent advice. I've been journaling almost daily for many years. I love it. It really clarifies my concerns, dreams, priorities. I do it as part of a morning prayer, Bible reading, and journaling routine and it's a fantastic way to start my day. I do look back on past pages from time to time and it's a great reminder of the progress I've made on certain issues.

[@DisciplesHeart]

"Feel The fear and do it anyway." ... "And There can be no doubt, because doubt causes chaos and one's own demise." -Michael Pearson

[@harrylongofficial6248]

I’ve been journaling daily since 2020 and it has probably allowed for the biggest insight into who I really am and what gives me meaning in life. I would never have narrowed down my 2 core values ‘Creation’ and ‘communication’ if not for journaling. As a result, I discovered that front end web development is the career utilising those two values which pays well. After being lost post-graduation from studying music and as a songwriter, I needed work which facilitated these values solidly. Journaling lets you make sense not only of the world but of yourself.

[@kathytarman2302]

I wish more people in Hollywood were like you. You don’t judge you are so helpful. You inspired me today. Thank you for being real and most of all being yourself.

[@MsShep55]

thank you, I love this...Used to journal YEARS ago. You have reminded me how important it was. I started it again....

[@sindyfilipusko1783]

I bought your journal when I came out and it has been the greatest thing in the world for me, I write my thoughts, answer the questions the pages have got and really get to look at what has been going on in my life - very thankful!

[@seascape1016]

Love the flowing water sound in the background:

[@mooman2819]

Yes !!! This came up randomly and I have just subbed. Excellent energy dude x

[@starmothpress]

I started back at the beginning of 2022 and it’s mind blowing. I’ve changed and grown so much.

[@aristotlekumpis7095]

Great idea. And it’s a way to channel your feelings and express things that you wouldn’t be able to do to a person.

[@veekshavagmita6131]

That was inspiring. Writing can feel like a daunting task, especially when you expect too much from yourself. Writing requires practice. Real practice. When you put words on paper every single day, you discover new shades of feelings, new ways of viewing life. You discover yourself in your writing. I’ve been writing religiously these days. Writing has become therapy. There are moments when my enthusiasm flags. Often, the words on the paper don’t meet my exacting standards. I feel like a deflated balloon. But then I start again. Writing is hard work. It’s intense; it’s demanding; it’s time-consuming. Perhaps it’s worth all the effort. This video has inspired me to keep at it. I’ll write, write and write. Thank you, Sir.

[@amandanegrete1306]

I was stationed in Austin and Matthew was a folk hero in that town! People really loved him playing bongos down by Camp Mabry 🙂 This man is genuine, so glad to see him in this format.

[@cashboymusic245]

been writing lyrics ever since the age of 12, I look back at my rhymes when I was younger and realize how much more real I was in terms of speaking about my problems to the audience. My music has now turned more generic and into the trap genre but when you spoke about lookin back at the writing and realizing that I'm a bigger poet than I imagine is what really gave me goosebumps. I'm gonna write real life rhymes no matter how much it hurt's.

[@LivingBobby]

Yesss! Great words man!

[@margalo399]

I've discovered I really like fountain pens so I can get creative with ink and writing styles, and I'm finding a little writing each morning sort of sets a nice tone for the day, and I enjoy the entire process. Your book was very inspiring.

[@xxChacaronXX]

Everyday in my journal I write “alright,alright,alright” at the end! 😂

[@mauriciogarcia2188]

ok now ladies!

[@dolam]

I am in the process of writing up results from research I have done and it is vital to just start. Sometimes if you wait for inspiration it will not come - it comes when the writing process begins - at least for me. I also graph my writing behavior. I find the visual representation helps keep me on track, especially when I have set a goal for myself. Thank you for your advice McConaughey!

[@Witchy_carnivore]

I was introduced to journaling in the 7th grade. I have loved it ever since! ❤️

[@healthcarecoord01]

Matthew... u r a DREAM!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❌❌❌⭕️

[@dustincaldwell2354]

You, sir are a mind, body, and soul reflection of the world.

[@baokachi9767]

Thank you. I needed Mathew McConaughey to tell me i was a poet and didn't know it today.

[@dawnnicholas4935]

Thx Matthew... good reminder 😊💗 luv 'ya

[@whitebear6213]

Journaling has connected me to my soul over the past few years. Ego tried to interfere with my pen to paper but my soul has learned how to prevail into those entries. Most insightful thing I have learned from journaling is that I cannot change yesterday nor can I predict tomorrow, I can only be present today. When I journal...I AM PRESENT!!

[@chiamaechua3331]

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR THIS Matthew! You don't know how much you impact the world!!💖 💖 💖 God bless u beyond measure for all that you do!!😍

[@gracegarza532]

My mom would journal and it would be amazing how actually her’s was more like a diary and when you would go back and you relive the moments that was really amazing and I love it. I journal when I get a new journal as a gift or buy one I don’t continue to journal because I just forget but honestly it is an amazing thing to do because forget we will.

[@dariobrankalioni7186]

Oh my goodness I just saw this Matthew McConaughey how are you and had to subscribe I have been journaling since I was 15 and I am 47 I have boxes full of journals notebooks whatever they're amazing to look back on and I don't just write I doodle pictures drawing my cats names my kids name I make it all fancy journaling is very comforting and healthy to do thank you for sharing this and bless you 💖💕💙

[@schwabit989]

Matthew walked into my RE office years ago looking for a notary. I was able to chat with him for a couple of minutes while all the ladies in the office went nuts. He is the coolest and nicest guy that you will ever meet.😎

[@MusicWorkflowAcademy]

The Goat 🐐

[@joshuaandrew5689]

What I found was it helps to have a learners mentality going forward into life no matter age or title you receive and not being fixated on words and my perception of those words

[@jessiehaislet3625]

I cram stuff in my journal. Decorate it. And write a little. I should go dig it out of wherever it is and work on it a little bit. Right on and thank you, Mr. McConaughey.

[@ZUSHxH]

Ive done this for about 2-3 years now. The entries i wrote show me my growth as a person. How wise I've become. The things that use to concern or bring me down but now I've overcome. Its a beautiful process that in a couple of months when looked back on only bring enlightenment.

[@celinescrappassion2184]

i just love this guy!!

[@samtallen0]

Journaling is responsible for all of the positive changes in my life. It keeps me clear-headed, focused, grateful, and grounded. There are two principles for effective/fruitful journaling. The first is being honest: using precise words, being vulnerable, and not sensationalizing or embellishing. The second is being succinct. Writing succinctly is analogous to writing with simplicity. Anything more than simplicity clouds thinking and judgment. The point of journaling is to gain perspective. You don't have to do it every day, just do it regularly (whatever that means for you). After a while, you won't recognize yourself. That is how much it can change you.

[@adeereplowboy]

I can’t get over just how grounded you are. You are the kind of person that I like to surround myself with. Keep on keeping on sir.

[@wybuchowyukomendant]

bro it is absolutely intimidating for the first few weeks or months, but if you keep writing, it gets better - as with everything. I filled 6 x200 pages a4 notebooks so far, and my writing is super tiny. Theres no better way to vent after a hard day or to clean your head than to write it all down - you have this cathartic feeling of "i dont need to think about it anymore, it's all down here, I can just go back to it whenever, now i can just chill"

[@joannaedwards9955]

Matthew mcconaughey is & will always be my number 1favorite male actor of all 🕙 time high

[@karenlyn8592]

That journal led me to many realizations over the years. My dreams sometimes were the solutions to problems I was going to face, my fears vanished when experiencing the pure beauty of a mountain meadow kissed by dew and shining in her morning splendor. And that my friend was exactly the nudge I needed. God Bless, Much Respect and Adios Amigo

[@Truth5eeker33]

Journaling is very underrated. Thanks Matthew for the reminder. Stay up everyone 🙏

From between 1925 to about 1940 I have journals from my grandmother. Somedays were very brief entries like the weather or what she bought and the cost. Birth entries, death entries. I really cherish these and feel connected in a deep way.

[@tishwallace6899]

Thank you Matthew. Words of wisdom always. I've always written, but now focusing on different journals to seperate my automatic writing from others. Love and gratitude.

I hope feel more energised now, Matthew. Thank you for all the green lights you've given us!

[@Bl4ckBeatzz]

So I started journaling in January 2019. A couple of pages a week before going to bed. When my dog died four months ago in October 2021, I felt like it was time to take journaling more seriously. I've written once every day, not missing a single one. I feel like there is something for me to find in my words today, that I cannot see right now. Only time will tell.

[@desiredecove5815]

Journaling my entire life- most is crap- but occasionally- you find what you are looking for - in your words- that you didn’t Even know what they meant at the time- but in retrospect- are exactly what you need to hear. ❤️🤘🏻

[@cameronidk2]

exactly .. i just commented the same thing .. i mean about women.. women journal... why .. because they plot and are devious and it helps sort out all their devious ways .. helps identify the really really good plots .. but men ... its all really just dull crap .. alot of thought fixing this .. or maybe fixing that or fishing a whole bunch of "i was at work thinking about going fishing ".. So I'm out fishing writing in my journal about how a love to fish .. makes zero sense ( this is a troll just for fun.. women don't journal just because their devious..most women in their teens think they write poetry .. but it's really just pro's .. if you can pretend to like it as a boy .. 2nd base all day .... if you really actually think her shit is deep .. and theirs a connection Good luck son here comes your first heart break seeya in 7 months)

[@joannebywaters4154]

So true, no rules when journalling!!🤗🤩

Matt you've changed my life so much you're my hero, love to have a chat over a cold beer and exchange notes on a journal.... (but i can only wish to meet you) Green lights was inspirational mate.

[@terrasculp]

It marks time. It marks how you thought, how you felt at the very moment you penned the words. I look back on some of the words I wrote when I was overseas, and I can almost feel what I was going through at the time. I had to be a stoic, but in my heart I felt fear. It’s really nothing more than a very private magical feeling to have that instant recall after so many years have passed. Just write and experience your own private magic.

[@mattgaming8717]

He has grown a lot.. And Im sold. Journal time every Saturday for at least 30 minutes. Why not

[@smkmd1961]

Love you Matthew! I journaled during my days in my 30s. I found I was an angry person. I was married to an alcoholic. Had young and teenage kids. Busy working full time I was bored with all while trying to figure out how not to go down the whole. I sometimes journal not as religiously as I did. But I truely believe writing can relieve us from our anxieties, frustrations, good feelings.

[@user-ch2lp9er6p]

Totally agree! Writing it down is eye opening and healing. Thank you!
