Understand where your negative self-image, bad habits, and unhealthy thoughts come from. Know yourself to change yourself.
Embrace the life-changing transformation potential of journaling.
Through the context of journaling, Zoe McKey takes a closer look at the false beliefs and unconscious behaviors that once left her feeling unworthy, misunderstood and overwhelmed. She then presents the practical strategies that helped her move past them. She provides a gentle push to become the joyful, smart, and good person you were meant to be.
You might think: you don’t know how and what to write in a journal; you don’t have enough time; you fear for your privacy; you don’t believe that writing your thoughts will do anything. The Mind-Changing Habit of Journaling will challenge these beliefs and help you adopt a safe, sustainable, time-friendly, guided journaling method. You will learn and discover:
•The root cause of your current problems and how to fix them.
•How to practice gratitude as a daily ritual and have a more optimistic outlook on life.
•How to love others the way they want to be loved and how to request the same.
•How to find your true values and stop living for other people’s expectations.
No taboos and no ‘get change quick and easy’ promises; just the painful honesty of personal awakening through journaling.

Stop the arguments with yourself and others.
•Learn to stop blaming others, loathing yourself, and acting with responsibility and self-respect instead.
•Learn about the key signs of emotional immaturity, how to overcome them and become the best version of yourself.
•Learn to harness the lessons of your painful experiences and use them as an empowerment tool to build character and strength.
This book shows you how to use the ultimate self-healing tool of journaling to find your own answers to your most pressing problems, discover your true self and lead a life of growth mindset. Also, benefit from the many scientifically proven benefits of journaling:
•Reduce mental anxiety, physical pain, and stress.
•Heal emotional wounds from past traumas.
•Practice self-compassion, self-love, and self-understanding.
•Overcome your limiting beliefs and fears.
•Reconnect with your true self and solve your inner conflicts.
Do you go through a painful breakup? Did you lose your job? Did you just have an earth-shattering realization about yourself and you don’t know what to do with it? Use the transformative power of expressive writing in this book to heal from painful and stressful life events.
Enhance your mental well-being and self-care; learn how to put yourself first in a non-selfish way to live a life of joy, compassion, love, and growth.

Zoe says that she was skeptical when her therapist suggested journaling (as a therapist, let me tell you - everyone is skeptical when journaling is suggested.) And then - and this is where I was like ‘oh yeah, this book has something to offer‘ - Zoe made her first entry. Here‘s what she says about that: ⤵️⤵️⤵️

atla “I opened it. Here is my first entry: ‘I hate this. It makes me feel uncomfortable and awkward. I procrastinated all day just to avoid doing this. Why? Because I have a natural disdain for discomfort. I get annoyed if something uncomfortable gets on my thought radar.‘ Whoa! What just happened? I never thought about myself like that! An inner voice whispered to me, ‘Go on.‘” 3y

I‘m a therapist & took 6 hours of continuing education on using journaling effectively as an adjunct to therapy; I wish I‘d just read this book instead. It‘s not written by a therapist but by someone who is in therapy & has actually used journaling effectively. She gives great practical guidelines for self-exploration through journaling & shares her own examples of how this increased awareness has helped her change her perspective & behaviors.

atla Also - it‘s available on hoopla (at least through my library) so it can be read for free, but I‘ll be buying a hard copy. 3y
