#30FOR30CHALLENGE #Journaling #HowToJournal

If there's one thing I've seen a ton pop up in the last 12 to 18 months. It's journals, journals, planners, what do you do? People are way over complicating it in my opinion. So in this video I want to walk you through how to journal specifically for self-growth and how to journal for self-development. Doesn't matter if you're a beginner, intermediate, or an advanced little journal nerd like us on this channel.
Guys, it's Clark with a feeling of settling. Welcome to the journal Wednesday.


Okay? Literally like imagine having a log that you can look back on 2016, 17 1819 2014 for 10 or 20
years. You can see your development throughout those 10 or 20 years in a long and if you do it right, like
we'll show you in this video and we've shown you on this channel, okay, then it's awesome. I mean it's
the number one tool you can use guys. You don't need to pay thousands and thousands of dollars for life
coaching. Okay? Like it helps, right? And it helps to work through someone. But a lot of people, I mean, I
mean you can, how much can you really get out of an hour? You know, you pay 500 bucks, even a
hundred bucks an hour for someone. Like, okay, there's a lot of back and forth there, but you can go into
this for a couple of hours a week for free and you can coach yourself if you do it the right way.

That's what we say on this channel. You can coach yourself, you can become your own coach. You know
the seminars are great, but if you don't look back and apply it, I mean it's just kind of to be blunt, you
know, a waste of time. It's like you go there, you feel good, you're amped up and it bark out of their
Tony Robbins plane. You can take on the world and then you go back to your older teens if you're really
honest. Right? Look, I'm guilty of that to travel into events and I have all my notes and I'm still
implementing things from them. Okay, so journaling is how you do that. That is the place. And let's get
into this video right now. I don't know if we'll bust out the $1,300 flip chart today. We might might have
some fun now that I talked about it, I have to do it.

I got something for you. You probably can't read this. I'll read it to you, but the visuals are more
important. So here's you right here in the middle, okay? This is your current self. This is your current
reality. This is you at your current job, your current relationship, your living situation right now, if you're
watching this channel, you want to refuse to settle. You want to get to your ideal self in five years, right?
So if I ask you what do you want in five years, I mean you probably have some goals, you probably have
some visions, but you're lacking a plan to actually get there. So here's why journaling is so cool. You
identify you right now in the middle. Then instead of, okay, what do I, how do I make this ambiguous
thing happen in five years? Like if you want to become a millionaire, let's just say that's a goal of yours.

This video is about How to Journal For Self Growth

"Coaching yourself" & "Re-read books that gave you the most value" were two of my biggest takeaway.

[matthewnazlie]

1. Circle of growth (Project yourself for 5y, but starts planning backwards)
2. Write your own book, rather than believing someone''s faith will work for you
3. Your old journal can be a gold mine for inspirations!
4. Sometime, reading the same book/your own journal better than reading other or always start new one. Bc you can process your thoughts and idea while reading it. You can use journal as your tracker for your future goal.

Okay, first of all:
I F*CKING FREAKED OUT WHEN YOU ASKED "What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?", like seriously, I just can't stop thinking about it. I'm going to ask that question to every friend, family member, HUMAN.
I just wasn't expecting when I clicked on this video that you were gonna blow my mind in the way you did. So I give you my honest congrats.
I feel like a need a summary of this video, you said way too many things that I need to think about.
Love when you say that we need to be our own "prophets", couches. It's so true that in personal development we tend to celebrate the choices that other make, like "Wow this dude is amazing", but we don't usually put in practice all the things we learn. And that is so sad, we stay exactly the same, over and over again. Just waiting.
WHAT THE F*UCK ARE WE WAITING FOR?
We only have this life, this present. The least we can do is try.
Journaling is an amazing tool to see all the things we've past through and all the mistakes that remain until today that we need to work on. Also gives you the space to forgive yourself, love yourself, talk to yourself ... I could go on but the list is endless.
Life is now, our chance is now.
Write, think, love yourself and others, make mistakes, learn, have fun, work hard, fight, never give up ... LIVE.
Thank you for all this inspiration. You've earned a new subscriber. 💙✨

biggest journaling tip: self-expression comes in many forms. in my journal, i paint and glue and scribble and draw and write and log habits/things and stick momentos and photos.

I really liked the video, because he doesn't really want to sell anything (aside from a like and a comment) and he really told what he believes in, for you to become a better version of yourself. And he was just honest and I think that is huge.

I’ve decided to stop being a procrastinator and take life by the horns. I started my YouTube and in it I’m gonna share my journey

[Labsixtythree]

A good tip I learned a while back is to keep a small notebook with you. I'll take notes throughout the day (as things pop up), and then transfer them into my journal each week. It helps me to remember the small nuggets that would otherwise disappear into oblivion, and also makes them easy to look back on at a later date from a different perspective.

Love your channel by the way Clark!

I’ve been journaling for almost 20 years. The biggest thing I’ve learned from journaling is that you know your dreams manifest because you wrote them down… even if it was 5-10 years prior.

[sylviadomerese]

I used to write. It's been decades.
I'm convinced to start again.

[MoneyChasingYou]

Self Growth needs a PLAN, it's so IMPORTANT... You need to set where you want to be in 6 months, 1 year and even 5 years.... Thinking on the long run makes you part of the 1% mindset

[charlottebreitenbach]

Omg!! Finally some structure!! I've always had an interest in Journaling and have made a few in the past but never found that they helped me, I did express myself creatively but they were without goals and I always felt that what I wanted to write down doesn't always sound authentic unless I'm complaining about something. I know for a fact this will change everything, thank you so much.

[mariatzintrou]

"when you coach someone you need to lead them to their own conclusions" that's where it hit me ...I went to the bookstore with my mom to buy some school supplies and I was watching that notebook ...I left it at where I took it from and after 5minutes I was lead there in front of the notebook! I grabbed it and my mom asked me what are you going to do with this and I said idk I want to write things in it...and somehow I am here sitting in my bed watching you to how to journal for self growth and I told okay that is my fate Period !!!

[khushboojha]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHOWING YOUR OWN JOURNAL FOR EXAMPLE AS IT TAKES A LOT OF COURAGE TO SHOW YOURSELF IN FRONT OF STRANGERS .

[janicereece]

Clark you are so easy to watch. You deal out your gems is a charismatic way. Makes you want to journal.
I took away from your channel that it is very important to invest in yourself, write it down own, so that you can look back and continue to grow.
You are a joy to watch thank you for the job that you're doing.💜💜💜

[TCampa]

New book recommendations, and to reread books every year that have had the greatest impact on us.

[rodneyjacobs]

Your G wagon analogy spoke to me. I was rereading my journal yesterday and realized some of the dreams and goals that I have were given to me by other people but were never dreamt of by me. Journaling helped me pinpoint what I liked about those past goals and reform them to what I wanted. Awesome video

[gretavotavova]

I don’t really have a biggest journaling tip cuz I actually just started journaling thanks to you and ik you probably not gonna see this comment, cuz this is 2-years old video, but I just wanted to say thanks for making these! you’re inspiring me a lot Clark. you’re changing my mind from being completely lost to wanna be actually okay and make myself the best version of me! hope you’re doing great man! sending love x

[claudiabl]

Hey Clark,
You are the best teacher ever :)
I used that method to start cooking. First, I inumerate the supermarket list and went grocery shopping, and then at home, I put the ingredients together.
Now I cook without make lists or look at recipes. Also, I decided I would just cook meals for 10 or 20 minutes no longer. No oven. Salads if i want to save money on hydro. Has been a journey.
:)

[micahmarshall]

Love your "first page brainwash" idea Clark! I've found myself repeating abundance minset affirmations, reading Scriptures, and getting myself hyped up on book quotes. Napoleon Hill was right when he said our subconscious minds are the most valuable piece of real estate we have and that we often underestimate it.

[aneeshkanade]

Oh man, i generally don't write comments but this one is so relatable! I started journaling by watching Clark's videos couple years back and watched this today... Thank you Clark! 😊
