#30FOR30CHALLENGE #Journaling #HowToJournal
If there's one thing I've seen a ton pop up in the last 12 to 18 months. It's journals, journals, planners, what do you do? People are way over complicating it in my opinion. So in this video I want to walk you through how to journal specifically for self-growth and how to journal for self-development. Doesn't matter if you're a beginner, intermediate, or an advanced little journal nerd like us on this channel.
Guys, it's Clark with a feeling of settling. Welcome to the journal Wednesday.
Journal nerds. See that we even branded it with the fancy little label maker. Swear. I'm going to be
working out at Joanne's fabric soon or something. I don't know what's up. My journal nerds Clark with
refusal of settles here and my best journal.com you guys ready for journal Wednesday? Guys liking this
structure. I know a bunch of you journals, so if it helps to have a journal on journal Wednesday, let me
know in the comments and smash the heck out of that like button. Look, I'm fired up today. We have a
lot to cover on a walk you through some do's and some don'ts of how to journal if you're, we're getting
into this cause this thing changed my life man. This eight and a half by 11 sketchbook. I always say, you
know my spiel, if you're here, if you're new here, welcome. Um, it's the best book you've ever read.
Okay? Literally like imagine having a log that you can look back on 2016, 17 1819 2014 for 10 or 20
years. You can see your development throughout those 10 or 20 years in a long and if you do it right, like
we'll show you in this video and we've shown you on this channel, okay, then it's awesome. I mean it's
the number one tool you can use guys. You don't need to pay thousands and thousands of dollars for life
coaching. Okay? Like it helps, right? And it helps to work through someone. But a lot of people, I mean, I
mean you can, how much can you really get out of an hour? You know, you pay 500 bucks, even a
hundred bucks an hour for someone. Like, okay, there's a lot of back and forth there, but you can go into
this for a couple of hours a week for free and you can coach yourself if you do it the right way.
That's what we say on this channel. You can coach yourself, you can become your own coach. You know
the seminars are great, but if you don't look back and apply it, I mean it's just kind of to be blunt, you
know, a waste of time. It's like you go there, you feel good, you're amped up and it bark out of their
Tony Robbins plane. You can take on the world and then you go back to your older teens if you're really
honest. Right? Look, I'm guilty of that to travel into events and I have all my notes and I'm still
implementing things from them. Okay, so journaling is how you do that. That is the place. And let's get
into this video right now. I don't know if we'll bust out the $1,300 flip chart today. We might might have
some fun now that I talked about it, I have to do it.
I got something for you. You probably can't read this. I'll read it to you, but the visuals are more
important. So here's you right here in the middle, okay? This is your current self. This is your current
reality. This is you at your current job, your current relationship, your living situation right now, if you're
watching this channel, you want to refuse to settle. You want to get to your ideal self in five years, right?
So if I ask you what do you want in five years, I mean you probably have some goals, you probably have
some visions, but you're lacking a plan to actually get there. So here's why journaling is so cool. You
identify you right now in the middle. Then instead of, okay, what do I, how do I make this ambiguous
thing happen in five years? Like if you want to become a millionaire, let's just say that's a goal of yours.

Valuable video, thank you.
Just an FYI that thereâs a typo at 4:50 on the slide that references âshiftingâ
Drink water
"Coaching yourself" & "Re-read books that gave you the most value" were two of my biggest takeaway.
Ay this what Iâm lookin for, how you set up your system for that. I wanna keep reading and learning new things but how do you rotate old books into it
Classic first and last point principle!
1. Circle of growth (Project yourself for 5y, but starts planning backwards)
2. Write your own book, rather than believing someone''s faith will work for you
3. Your old journal can be a gold mine for inspirations!
4. Sometime, reading the same book/your own journal better than reading other or always start new one. Bc you can process your thoughts and idea while reading it. You can use journal as your tracker for your future goal.
Iâve decided to stop being a procrastinator and take life by the horns. I started my CZcams and in it Iâm gonna share my journey
howâs it going?
Never even startedâŠ
Okay, first of all:
I F*CKING FREAKED OUT WHEN YOU ASKED "What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?", like seriously, I just can't stop thinking about it. I'm going to ask that question to every friend, family member, HUMAN.
I just wasn't expecting when I clicked on this video that you were gonna blow my mind in the way you did. So I give you my honest congrats.
I feel like a need a summary of this video, you said way too many things that I need to think about.
Love when you say that we need to be our own "prophets" , couches. It's so true that in personal development we tend to celebrate the choices that other make, like "Wow this dude is amazing", but we don't usually put in practice all the things we learn. And that is so sad, we stay exactly the same, over and over again. Just waiting.
WHAT THE F*UCK ARE WE WAITING FOR?
We only have this life, this present. The least we can do is try.
Journaling is an amazing tool to see all the things we've past through and all the mistakes that remain until today that we need to work on. Also gives you the space to forgive yourself, love yourself, talk to yourself ... I could go on but the list is endless.
Life is now, our chance is now.
Write, think, love yourself and others, make mistakes, learn, have fun, work hard, fight, never give up ... LIVE.
Thank you for all this inspiration. You've earned a new subscriber. đâš
I am getting back into journalling again, l started years ago when I started to write a movie script and I have put all the people l know into the script.
But now I written 3 movie đ„ scripts & got a program on my computer to put each character their profile about theirselves in background
Iâve been journaling for almost 20 years. The biggest thing Iâve learned from journaling is that you know your dreams manifest because you wrote them down⊠even if it was 5-10 years prior.
biggest journaling tip: self-expression comes in many forms. in my journal, i paint and glue and scribble and draw and write and log habits/things and stick momentos and photos.
I used to do this when I journaled as a teen. Those were the most influential in my life.
I am in contact with a famous author whose book is being made into a movie đ„ she has been my mentor for years
A good tip I learned a while back is to keep a small notebook with you. I'll take notes throughout the day (as things pop up), and then transfer them into my journal each week. It helps me to remember the small nuggets that would otherwise disappear into oblivion, and also makes them easy to look back on at a later date from a different perspective.
Love your channel by the way Clark!
I really liked the video, because he doesn't really want to sell anything (aside from a like and a comment) and he really told what he believes in, for you to become a better version of yourself. And he was just honest and I think that is huge.
Self Growth needs a PLAN, it's so IMPORTANT... You need to set where you want to be in 6 months, 1 year and even 5 years.... Thinking on the long run makes you part of the 1% mindset
Money Chasing You - Passive Income Online a dream without a plan is just a dream. A dream with a plan is a goal.
@@ThePositivityPrincess I don't find a way to be MORE AGREE WITH YOU....!!! Awesome comment
Money Chasing You - Passive Income Online awe! Thank you! Iâm happy you agree!
Batman always has a backup plan especially for the long term
consistency makes u 1%
I used to write. It's been decades.
I'm convinced to start again.
Note to myself:
Grow every single day!
"when you coach someone you need to lead them to their own conclusions" that's where it hit me ...I went to the bookstore with my mom to buy some school supplies and I was watching that notebook ...I left it at where I took it from and after 5minutes I was lead there in front of the notebook! I grabbed it and my mom asked me what are you going to do with this and I said idk I want to write things in it...and somehow I am here sitting in my bed watching you to how to journal for self growth and I told okay that is my fate Period !!!
"Repetition is the Mother of Skill". I reread several different books multiple times as well. It helps the knowledge to sink in. I think it definitely has helped in my success as journaling has, too. Setting goals are key.
Your G wagon analogy spoke to me. I was rereading my journal yesterday and realized some of the dreams and goals that I have were given to me by other people but were never dreamt of by me. Journaling helped me pinpoint what I liked about those past goals and reform them to what I wanted. Awesome video
Omg!! Finally some structure!! I've always had an interest in Journaling and have made a few in the past but never found that they helped me, I did express myself creatively but they were without goals and I always felt that what I wanted to write down doesn't always sound authentic unless I'm complaining about something. I know for a fact this will change everything, thank you so much.
Thatâs a new way to think about journaling.
I took the advantage of journaling about two years ago, but for the last 3 months Iâve begun journaling daily about twice a day, and throughout work.
But the way youâve explained it, makes it easier.
Thank you I really needed it.
I've never commented a single CZcams video before but you are leading us through these videos with such passion that I can't resist but giving you a big like and a big Thank You for doing this! Been in to journaling before but lost my consistency but that's something that I'm inspired to get back to now. Awesome!
Oh man, i generally don't write comments but this one is so relatable! I started journaling by watching Clark's videos couple years back and watched this today... Thank you Clark! đ
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHOWING YOUR OWN JOURNAL FOR EXAMPLE AS IT TAKES A LOT OF COURAGE TO SHOW YOURSELF IN FRONT OF STRANGERS .
Great video like always. I keep my agendas and junk journals. My favorite thing to do when Iâm in a funk is to go through them. Never fails to inspire and cheer me up.
New book recommendations, and to reread books every year that have had the greatest impact on us.
Thanks so much! I have journals for so many years but quit in the last 5. I started on January 1st this year and it's been an amazing journey for self discovery plus dealing with the upset during covid and everything else going on in the world. I reccomend it for everyone and you are right...you will become your own coach and become much more aware of your actual life when you soul search by simply journaling. â€
Hi, I really like what you said about leading a client to recognize information on their own! You are absolutely correct. I am an aspiring therapist, and this is what we call Socratic questioning. You're right in that the client or person must realize it on their own in order to fully receive and internalize and thus change!
I will also say that from personal experience, I have had times where I have felt so lost that I actually felt that I needed to watch those CZcams videos or self help books for a starting point of guidance. I was so into my head that I was in need of another's healthy mind and perspective to gain some clarity and strength; almost like training wheels. And once I felt strong again, I was able to hear my own healthy internal voice now no longer convoluted with past unhealthy irrational thoughts and fears.
I like your videos and I like what you're doing!!! I am a happy subscriber :)
Youâre convicting me, in a good way, to journal consistently. Thank you.
Clark you are so easy to watch. You deal out your gems is a charismatic way. Makes you want to journal.
I took away from your channel that it is very important to invest in yourself, write it down own, so that you can look back and continue to grow.
You are a joy to watch thank you for the job that you're doing.đđđ
Just had the thought to start journaling....Then i came to youtube for tips, i'm grateful this is my first video
i totally agree with rereading books you learned a lot from or had the most impact from. i did that recently and realized how much more information i missed out on because it didnât make sense in the moment so when i reread certain books it gave me new perspectives to apply to my life and things started clicking, connecting the dots to other things i recently learned. you never know what new information starts making more sense when you reread. đđœ
Just started watching and listening to your channel and must say, I'm really getting allot out of it!
Started journalling last Monday after watching many of your videos and already see that it's helping my mental clarity quite a bit.
Thank you for your hard work on this channel and to all of you that comment.
I plan on continuing this practice.
Seeing your growth through the years really makes me believe it is possible †I am so passionate about journaling and vision boarding , just like you. And I am going to start my channel now đ and I believe i can do it because of your words
Clark, you truly get me inspired in the geeky way that we always talk about on this channel. You are my GO TO journal nerd that I always come back to because you just get it. Iâve watched a lot of journaling videos on CZcams over the years but I always find myself on your channel because of how relatable and easy going you are. I have been watching your videos for almost 4 years now and whenever I need some content to fire up my journaling passion I watch one of your videos! Thank you for creating this content. The fact that I can watch these whenever I want is just amazing. I hope you are so proud of the brand and movement you have created, I know that you have inspired literally thousands of people all over the globe :)
Keep it up legend! We are all so proud of you and itching for your next video!
I started journaling yesterday, I just put down my thoughts at the time.
I donât really have a biggest journaling tip cuz I actually just started journaling thanks to you and ik you probably not gonna see this comment, cuz this is 2-years old video, but I just wanted to say thanks for making these! youâre inspiring me a lot Clark. youâre changing my mind from being completely lost to wanna be actually okay and make myself the best version of me! hope youâre doing great man! sending love x
It's been since 2009 when I started my first journal. Thanks. I'm going to read it again.
I absolutely love journaling. I have been doing it for years and I didnât really realize how important and valuable it is. I was just doing it to survive, literally, it was the only thing that kept me going at times. Sometimes I fill up a journal in two weeks or less (college ruled composition notebooks are what I use) . And not many of them are the same, I donât follow a pattern, I just write...sometimes itâs all feelings and thoughts, sometimes it is just notes on what I am reading or studying (Sidhartha favorite novel, science and practice of humility favorite self help book). But I am realizing that the most important thing is that I just write!!!
Love that you say to reread books that spoke to you. Always feel drawn to certain ones but tell myself I should look to others. Thanks for the freedom to read on repeat!
Great video Clark. I respect Jim Ron, too !! He inspired me to keep a journal. I believe you are carrying his torch !! Cheers !!
I started Journaling this year, its been really helpful with keeping track of my goals
Hey Clark,
You are the best teacher ever :)
I used that method to start cooking. First, I inumerate the supermarket list and went grocery shopping, and then at home, I put the ingredients together.
Now I cook without make lists or look at recipes. Also, I decided I would just cook meals for 10 or 20 minutes no longer. No oven. Salads if i want to save money on hydro. Has been a journey.
:)
Now, I already have a cooking book đ
I love to see what I was and what I thought a few years ago. IÂŽm in my teenage yearsand so much is changing and I`m very grateful that I journaled a few years ago for a little bit. Currently IÂŽm picking it up again and for this cause, I watched your vid. I`m defnitly look through my old journals now. THANKS Mr Danger!
Hi! I just started following you on TikTok & love your content. I used to journal before my son (he's now 15). Got a lot out of it & after watching your video & I'm going to get back to it. I'm self employed & have had some success but need to push for higher goals! :) Thanks. I really like your approach.
Year, it works... I do it for 72 days now (similar approach) and nudged a number of things in my life =) And even created some vids myself)) thanks again... it's pleasant to see other people do it as well
I really appreciate what you said about borrowing the faith because thatâs definitely what I do since I donât know any other way. Now I can find what Iâve been looking for. My core beliefs. Thank you
Just discovered your channel and as a retired high school teacher, I appreciate your style and messages! Iâm starting a journal now!
Wow. I paused the video 4 minutes in and im just like this absolute genius! I wish i had known this 5 years ago and im definitely going to apply this today. I have a sketch book and a journal i bought atleast two years ago and ill start trying this technique! So excited to get started!
Thank you for your videos Clark, really enjoy your tips on self-development!
Thank you. Itâs like Iâve been too stubborn to begin journaling and I found inspiration to get going from your video.
I really appreciate your videos! You're helping thousands of people change their lives!
Thank you so much for making these videos! This is precious! I am grateful.
Loved this. I've been wanting to start journaling but didn't know how to start!
My favorite thing I took away from this was the concept of are you really doing it for yourself or are you inspired through someone else's experience or however you worded that. That was a really good topic to touch on. I have been trying to start journaling my emotions and finding new ways to word that it is ok to have those. I am a very emotional person and I would like to use that tool to help me make mediation videos. I've always hated the fact that I was such an emotional person but I'm finding a way to use it as power not defeat.
True, if one views this as a âdutyâ then itâll fade and inspiration is deflated. Iâd like to view it as a fun exploration about my endless ideas and dreams, realistic or not. Thanks Clark!
Great content. I here make a promise to myself that Iâll keep a journal as youâve described from now until the end of this year.
thanks clark kegley for this video and what u do man. i love this stuff. this video came in clutch for me in my life right now because ive been journaling for a while and i want to get the most out of it and found this video.
you seem like a good guy! Keep up the great work and definitely continue opening up these conversations with more men
Something I love the that you pointed out is how you look back at your old journals. As a sketch artist I have been drawing since 2013 and collected massive amounts of sketch books that I still look back and study , compare to this day definitely will be using some of your advise the 100 questions is my favorite idea yet good video!
Love the video. And I always enjoy the lessons that you share here and there that makes the video really stand out thanks for the tips already 2 years on journaling and on for the third and going on a good start. Keep up the great work
At 51 I have started a journal for the first time. This series has given me the structure to progress outside of more traditional business plans and daily/weekly task lists. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for this!! Been looking to begin journaling...a little late to the party but better late than never :)
Journal Wednesday yes!!
What would I do if I knew I couldnât fail? Iâd devote myself to various kinds of art. This video was great, your enthusiasm on the subject is catching. Iâve been journaling for years, but not like you do it! Iâll have to watch more of your videos!
I always start, I am focused then I fall off every time! I came for advice to help me remain committed!
First time watching your videos and i got so much from this one. Going to watch your some of your others now, really helping me with starting my own journey so thanks!
So many things to apply! Thank you!!!
Thank you! Love your ambition and enthusiasm!
Let's boost that algorithm! Totally agree with re-reading favorite books. I write the month and year in the front of the book each time. Am amazed how certain books sustain me during some of the most challenging times. Also make notes in the margins. Thanks for sharing the real you!
There was a time when i used to write, not such a thing like a journal but i recall it did good. Thanks Clark. ! Ill start the new year with a resolution. enjoy the holidays.
I love the front cover Idea, really helps me to put everything in perspective for myself in one year. It highlights who I am and affirms and validates myself. I'm a beginner and am starting to journal for mental health purposes mainly. So far I can see this helping me prioritize my thoughts and feelings I want to change
đđ
I actually loved this video .. I really love journaling but this information helped me have new ideas to make the most of my Journals. Thanks!
This is an AWESOME video. When he talks about borrowing the faith of others..... floored me
Just the video I have been wanted in time for 2020!
It was 2016-17 when I first saw
Clark DANGER and thought:
This dude could play Clark Kent in Superman!!
Thanks for sharing the inside covers in your journal :)
Youâre awesome brother. Thanks for your time and sharing your knowledge. God Bless đȘđ»đđ»đđ»đđ»
This is my first time on your channel....this hit home! Going to seminars, getting excited but then not implementing it later. Love the chart- tracking my here to there. 70 is better than zero!
The journaling tip I like the best is to journal when you wake up to start the day off or before going to bed so you can process things and unwind.
The 4 Hour work week was the exact book I was thinking of just before you said it. Haha, great video, thanks. Been going through your playlist in order to learn and upgrade my journalling abilities. It's been real insightful.
So motivating. Thank you Clark
I am seeing journaling in a different way and how it can be very helpful. Thanks for sharing these tips.
We love seeing you coachâ€â€
Great points, great job. Thank you!
thank you for all your efforts. I learned about re-reading books that helped us 10 x's. first time I have not heard that suggestion. I am starting my first journal this week. I am looking forward to learning by journaling.
Thanks man, just starting to realize what a wealth of knowledge this channel is
Amazing video! Great voice and thank you for the all the good pointers! I will definitely put these to use! I have used Notion lately, but feel it is not sinking in!
love the topic, love the content (love everything about clark....)
Yo my boi, just started doing that a week ago, thank's my man
I was a journaling kid all the way up to middle school. Became slow at journal in high school. And then from college and forward, I haven't journaled. Starting up journaling again, but yeah I like doing things the right way so Im taking a look at the journaling videos! I forget how powerful it is to write it all down to change yourself!
Thanks for the Tips Clark
This is awesome! Thank you so much!!!
Don't know why I didn't realize it before. You're right that reading the same book can help you learn more and be more effective than new books. There's a reason why we read the same Bible stories over and over each year and get more out of it each time. Understand it better each time.
Loads of Jobs like Doctors and Construction workers have to go back to the reference book everyday in their careers.
The two items that stick out for me is to write 100 questions to unlock the creativity within you and to reread a book that you found valuable at least 10 times over. I appreciatethe advice.
Super super information.
Thank thank you for what you are doing for others adding a valum in the life.
Really great advice. I had just myself reached the conclusion. Donât read more personal development books. Revisit what youâve got and make them your own through journaling. First one of your journals I have seen but now subscribed and going out to buy a notebook to turn into my first journal.
I do the same thing! I developed so much, i figure it out so much, Life coaches help, but journaling is the esence of self-growthâđ»đđŒđđ»â€ïžđđŒ
Thank you for a great video. And thank you for the message on your t-shirt. I'm stealing it for my life.
Self growth đ and help those along the way đ„ glad you are creating videos to help others! I am such an advocate of journals too lol... I started creating content to help others during this pandemic time and on most of my videos I talk about journaling... there is so many ways that journaling helps â€ïž.. good job giving back đđ„
Iâm gonna start my journal today. I like the 100 questions. Thanks for sharing,âïžâđŸ
Clark, you are so to the point and helpful! Thank you from Nova Scotia Canadađ
You can also stick pictures into the journal. It's an automatic visualization. Seemingly it has worked for me. Use different colors write diagonally and add drawings... Make your journal an inspiring fun place to go to
Bruh, you have given me inspiring ideas for self growth. I recently had an idea that would increase my potential for self growth and personal empowerment and self exploration as well as learning by embedding ideas for change is by taking one book (to start) that has inspired you the most and clearly hand writing it (copy word for word) in a journal or a series of journals.
For example: After reading and studying this gem over and over again from cover to cover The Art Of War by Sun Tzu now copy/print it out in out in a journal. Writing it out seems so much more effective and therapeutic as well relaxing. This allows me further studying its contents until it is thoroughly ingrained in my thoughts. But dont let it become an obsession. Never let your hobbies become obsessions. They should only be life enhancers. Just take an hour or two or just a half hour. instead of watching tv, spend that time on a hobby.
You have inspired me to make the most of my monthly Audible credit by rereading my beloved books. Thank you.
