You always know you best. Please take with you from this video what resonates and leave what doesn’t. Some of what I share won't make sense for your situation.

This is the first time I’m commenting on someone’s video.
I’m a surgeon practising in India and I have followed you for over 5 years now.
I started by journey of intentional living after I came across your videos. Lately, I have been wanting to start journaling but I do not know how to begin. I have come back several times to your channel to get ideas and inspiration about journaling. Your videos on journaling may not do well but it brings immense knowledge to us who do look forward to you for help on that subject. Please consider making more journaling videos. Thank you!

I have been feeling so stuck lately and finally was able to put it into words for my therapist. I've been on the same meds for ADHD for around 10 years and the doctor who prescribes them could not care less about me. My therapist suggested it was finally time to see a new doctor and address it - maybe I need antidepressants. For such a long time I thought I knew what I needed and had things under control, but hearing someone else tell me I'm worthy of being legitimately assessed made things click for me. I am worthy of balancing my neurochemicals with meds! I'm not lazy for needing an adjustment to help me function. If you have diabetes, you shouldn't feel unworthy of taking insulin. Things I tell my loved ones all the time but of course, I didn't believe they apply to me. I don't know if anyone else might need to hear this, but it really helped me to hear it from someone else. ❤

For what it's worth, I love your content on journaling and tools for thought. Actually, you are my go-to creator for inspiration on that specific topic because journaling is not something that comes naturally to me, but you are the only content creator I've found who consistently shares journaling tips/thought experiments/prompts that I haven't heard before and that actually get me to shift my mindset. Definitely keep it up, it is valued and appreciated!

This post is getting to the right people! Lovely to meet you Muchelle, you have a new subscriber, and I would LOVE to see more videos about journaling from you, thanks you for the video, I'm going to have to watch a few more times, there's so much good information.

"If you're feeling dissatisfied, think of it as a good thing" -- Ahh... Such a breath of fresh air. Thank you for doing what you do 💖

You are one of my absolute favourite, ,self-help" youtuber. Your realistic videos are helping my ADHD-brain in so many practical ways. I love your personality and your approach on all of these topics!
Thank you!

One of your videos is what helped me find my journaling technique. You had a video that talked about journaling as a response to questions (and you put some sample questions on screen). I have watched dozens of videos on journaling and none worked for me. After that video I found my 3 questions and I answer them most nights.

You absolutely should do a journaling course because your videos on journaling have been different than any others I have seen. I liked that you offered a short and structured journaling style. Do it

Long-time viewer since you had that neutral purple filter over your vids. 🥰

Just wanna mention, the background music in this one is a bit distracting, but I still love your content!

[thecountrychickadee]

Man! Your advice is just so spot on! I have watched this video twice while doing housework this morning! Thank you!

[rita.fernandes]

This video was everything I needed today! You are unique in the way that every time I feel something needs to be done but have no idea how to tackle it or what it takes to go through, I always come back to your channel, and sure enough, there will be a way to ease the process. The added bonus of feeling great afterward and relaxing my brain instead of shredding through my sanity is bliss. Thank you so much for the effort and intention poured into this channel! Much appreciated!✨

[whatwouldyouchoose]

i highly doubt you need more work. i think you’d be great at writing an advice column. i know i would love to read it because your advice is so actionable, clear, and empathetic and relatable. i know i channel your energy when i’m trying to figure out issues in my life

[aaalicinha]

Loved this so much! Also, I may be one of the few that enjoys your journaling content. Recently, started doing Journalspeak sessions (after a shit of procrastinating) and it has helped me move these stuck emotions out. Can't wait to see what journaling course you come up with. 😊

[sterrejimmink]

I had to stop the video and tell you that I would love your journaling course!
I have been watching you for years and I love all of your content and your brilliant ideas and approaches! I have watched your journaling videos and I love the different approaches but I do really struggle putting it in motion but I do really believe in the power it can have! ☺️

[monica_.]

Yay for more "tools for thought" content!! I love your journaling videos, especially since you were so wary of journaling in the beginning (as I am), and it was inspiring to see how you customized it to suit your needs. 🖋️✨

[sarastilleke]

This was exactly what I needed to hear today, thank you for posting ❤

[valentinaparedes]

Finally a unique and useful video that makes me feel inspired to journal. Thank you please keep making these!

[leahhatcher]

omg you have had such a major impact on my relationship with journalling!! you would create such an amazing course that would be so helpful to so many people! thanks for sharing this struggle, its nice to see a creator i admire so much be open about things that i also struggle with!

[blooming_lounge]

Okay I actually love your journaling videos! So even if the algorithm doesn’t PLEASE keep making them, they are honestly so helpful and life changing for my mental health and mindset!❤️❤️

[bebeschatzzi]

I would be super interested in seeing a video on how you get self aware enough to know that you need to get a tool out like a resistant map, or a mindset journaling etc. I always think that those are great, but when i am in those situations, I never really have the though to do those

[lynseymacmakeup]

I'm definitely going to give a resistance map a shot - I immediately feel like it will be super helpful!
