What To Do If You’re Terrible At Journalling
Show Notes

We've heard about the many benefits of journaling, but what happens if think you're 'terrible' at this practice?

This belief is more common than you think and I blame those well-intentioned English teachers! If writing isn't your thing it's all too easy to fall into the trap of believing your writing isn't quite good enough. Then, when we're hard on ourselves, we get in our own way and stop our ideas and insights flowing.

GOOD NEWS 🙌

You don't have to be an A-grade writer to get insane value from journaling. All you need to be able to do is extract insight and capture your wisdom on the blank page.
