For the past 7 years, there is 1 person who vets my ideas before anyone else hears them.
Well it’s net technically a person - it’s a place.
My journal.
Journaling has given me the confidence to go from:
Taking yoga classes -> getting yoga teacher certification
Writing a newsletter -> writing a book
Living in an apartment -> buying a house
If you have an idea for a Yellow - hobby or project that brings you joy - here are 3 ways journaling will take it to the next level:
1) A safe space to start writing down the crazy ideas
Maybe you have an idea for a Yellow, but you are hesitate to say it out loud to someone.
Your journal can be a safe place to first write down the thought. As you write them down more, they may start to seem less crazy.
2) A place to expand your ideas
As you journal more about your Yellow, you’ll start to see your idea expand.
A once cringy, crazy, half-baked idea becomes something tangible you can envision yourself doing and being excited about.
Maybe that little idea starts to change who you become.
3) A way to figure out how this fits into your life & who you want to be
Your journal is a space to figure out how your Yellow fits into the rest of your life.
When are you going to work on it?
Who does it help you become?

A morning journaling practice is can be a way to prioritize writing about your Yellow - doing it 1st thing in the morning.
And eventually 1 morning, becomes 2 mornings, which becomes a week, a month, a year, and then your life.
Each morning journal session is you getting closer to the best version of yourself.
