What's The Conversation You’re Avoiding - What is it Costing You?

About this episode

In this episode, Matt discusses the importance of addressing difficult conversations and how journaling can aid in this process.

On this episode of The Journaling Guy Podcast (Season 3, Episode 10), I'm talking about The Conversation You’re Avoiding and how Journaling can help rectify that. You’ve been putting off THAT CONVERSATION forever; telling yourself that now’s not the right time, or it’s probably not that big of a deal. I'm here to tell you the truth, the more you avoid it, the bigger a deal it will become. Your Journaling Prompt for This Week is - “Say it on Paper First” What is the conversation I’m avoiding? What do I actually want to say? What am I worried will happen if I say it? What might happen if I don’t say it? What would a calm, grounded version of me say? Please listen to the episode for more detail and clarity around this set of prompts. ------------------ Please get in touch with any questions and of course, your feedback too. Email - hello@thejournalingguy.com If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with someone who might need a bit of space to think. Plus, please leave me a review, they matter so much for getting the podcast heard and seen. Always remember... "keep writing, keep noticing, and keep showing up for yourself", Matt.
