Shownotes

On this episode of The Journaling Guy Podcast (Season 3, Episode 9), I'm talking about Decision Making. We can often spend way too much time thinking about decisions. However, if you use Journaling to help with this process, those decisions can become remarkably easy!

Your Journaling Prompts for This Week are:

  1. What is the ONE decision I’m trying to make right now?
  2. What are my options?
  3. What am I afraid of with each option?
  4. What feels right, not logical, right?
  5. What would I advise a friend to do?
  6. What is the next small step, not the final outcome?

Please do listen to the episode though, as it will help those prompts make more sense.
