It’s okay to give up desserts, I wrote to myself. You don’t need to eat them because others do. Or because you used to, or because you love them.

If they’re not worth the cost, then they’re not worth the cost.

Computer games are desserts.

It was actually a really helpful (and not that cryptic (in context)) message. I’d played some computer games that day, and was struggling with how I felt sort of shitty that day - I think because of the computer games.

I liked playing them, on the other hand, I wasn’t sure what to do about it.

And the interesting thing is that I actually like my relationship with desserts right now - I eat them sometimes, usually in moderation, and some times not. I’m enjoying them without making it a big deal in my mind or to my body.

It gave me a direction to aim towards with computer games.

This is just one recent example of how journaling has helped me to show up in my life.

😊

And so when one of my clients wanted to learn how to journal but he needed direction, I thought about the You Rising Journaling Prompts that I created.

When he said that the main problem was that he was having trouble finding the time for it, I knew those prompts wouldn’t be ideal (they’re only about 5-8 mins per sitting, but still, it’s 5-8 mins per sitting).

So I created these Learn to Journal Prompts for him. These start easy and build (very slowly and gradually) through the month, to help you build the habit and demonstrate the value that journaling has in your life.

We discuss this and more on this episode.
