Cool video Ali! Do you have a reminder system for doing some of the prompts e.g. every 3 months/every year depending on how often you need to write the prompt?
Love this video and all of your content so much! The journalling hub looks great :) It won't let me link any of "my journals" to a journal entry (just blank and can't write anything). Any tips on how to make this feature work? Thank you!!
I actually have no problem with working. The only thing that doesn’t make sense to me is the time we spend at work. I work from 8 am to 5 pm, taking into consideration the travel time will add up 1 hour. Prepare for work will take 1 hour. I feel like I have no time for life after this 😅
1. What would I do if money were no object?/ What would I do to serve the world with my skills if I had all the money in the world 2. What do I want the people I serve/my colleagues, family and friends to say at my funeral? Am I living in alignment with that? 3. If I were to repeat the things I have done this week for the next 10 years where would I end up? 4. What have done in the last two weeks that has energized me and that was drained me? How do I make my life more energizing? 5. The wheel of life check in. With a tenth category called joy. 6. Odyssey plan. What would my life look 5 years from now if I took a completely different path? What would my life look like 5 years from now if I would not care about money and what people thought? 7. What is the goal and what is the bottleneck? 8. Do you work for your business or does your business work for you? 9. If I knew I was gonna die 2 years from now what would I do with my time? What of those things can I just do now? .. So excited to try them!
These actually are enormous. Adding these to my journaling routine. Thanks, Ali! The first question, btw, especially the follow up is HUGE! It is very much similar to the concept of Ikigai which is a life changing concept for me.
0:28 - What would you do if money were no object? If I had all the time and money in the world, how would I use my talents and service to serve other people? 2:58 - What would you like people to say at your funeral? To what extent am I actually living in alignment with that? 7:23 - If I were to repeat this week's actions for 10 years, where does it lead, and is that where I want to be? 9:40 - What have I done in the last 2 weeks that was energizing? And what did I do that was draining? 11:00 - How is your wheel of life doing? Work (mission, money, growth), Health (body, mind, soul), Relationships (friends, family, romance), Joy. How aligned are my current actions in each category aligned with my goals? 12:45 - What is your Odyssey plan? 3 questions: Your Current Path (Write out, in detail, what your life would look like 5 years from now if I you continued on your current path), The Alternative Path (same thing, different path), The Radical Path (same thing but if money, social obligations, and what people think were completely irrelevant) 15:00 - What is the goal? What is the bottle neck? 16:35 - Which goal would have the biggest positive impact? 18:35 - Do you work for your business? Or does your business work for you? 20:15 - If you knew you were going to die 2 years from now, how would you spend your time?
3:54 At your funeral I would say this. But it is an understatement, without exaggeration I think you have been the most influential person in my life. I have been following you since the beginning and the changes in my lifestyle and life purpose have been transformed ever since.
My journaling mentor Kay Adams says that "The journal is like the moon, emitting a magnetic tug that draws information from our unconscious and subconscious minds and brings it to the surface, where you can work at the conscious level."

Journaling no matter the area has always been useful to me. Gym routine, school, expenses, trading journal. You can sleep thought free at night. I recommend everyone to do it
@@cyyylas Yeah I just use the Day One app and the Journal app on my iPhone to journal. I know it’s very digital and not the old school pen & paper technique but does get the job done!
Unexpectedly, this brought tears to me coming to the end of video. All inspiring prompts, but what’s also inspiring and soul-touching to see you actually living in those prompts! Thank you for being here. And by choosing to bravely being yourself, and becoming yourself, you are lifting all of us with you!❤
I am currently at the nail salon watching this and I just want to hug you Ali. Thank you for this video it’s a game changer. Your close circle is blessed to have you
You could be good at what you do, but unless you're asking the right questions, you won't end up where you want to be in life. That's why journalling is so powerful.
Favorite prompts- Wheel of life and goals - bottleneck. I think I want to start on those right away. Ali, you are younger than me, so I hope you outlive me, by a lot. So I'll say this now - Your content, and more importantly for me, your delivery is sooo helpful, useful, easy learning.. that it has changed how I look at productivity. Your approach to holistic betterment of self is so refreshing and I love incorporating what you share here. Thank you, you have made a huge difference in my life. ❤
Ali, god bless you man. I think this is exactly what I needed to watch and hear right now. I’ve been doing lots of great things in the context of my life in the last 8 months but struggled with motivation in lots of areas recently. I listened to this running and instead of stopping after 10 mins like I had planned to, I went through the whole thing and realise I need journaling in my life to keep me continually asking myself important questions to focus on my life goals.
Ali, I love you! Since coming across your channel, you have helped me discover and reimagine myself and although I am a work in progress... you have opened my mind to thinking in a completely different and better way. If you were here, I would give you a huge hug and tell you thank you for your sage wisdom. Please keep doing what you do!!
Ive followed your journaling prompts for 3 to 4 months and it is game changer for me. Thanks you so much ali for sharing these journaling prompts. Keep going with this TH-cam channel. And never ever quit.
I am so grateful to have discovered your channel. As a primary school teacher, I have already been able to make a significant impact on the children's lives. Thank you so much for your valuable content, I am truly grateful to be able to pass it on.✨
I love your journaling prompts, they’ve helped me work on myself and clear my mind. I’m less self destructive and journaling has helped me with my depression. I feel more in power over my life and I love hearing more of your prompts. Thank you 😊
Ali, this video about Journalling prompts is another gem in the crown. By the way, I am in love with the ideas you have put in your book. I am cherishing them like a mindful meal and don't want them (ideas) to finish. Thank you for helping me in taking back the control of my life!
These are great prompts. Two years ago I asked myself if I could see myself doing what I was doing in 10 years. I had a herbal medicine practice that financially was doing well but was causing me incredible stress. Nope! Closed the business and took some time to figure out what I wanted to do. Focused on doing things that bring me joy and 2yrs later I have a clear vision that I’m really excited about. The 2yrs of figuring it out challenged me to slow down and just enjoy the ride. I’m grateful I did.
Journalling is incredibly powerful, you are right! I have been writing for years and I spend a couple of hours each day writing from the heart first and then scripting after - and I love it. This video is so fantastic, thank you :)
Following you changed my life I might not be going through each TH-cam videos and following them step by step But whenever I feel I need an advice or need to be more productive in my life I check your channel I wish to buy your books someday and read them all❤️
WOW! absolutelly mind blowing prompts that make my reflect about my actual path. Thanks for sharing this content, is really really useful and valuable for me. Another prompt that I like to use in my journaling process is 'What I'm thankful for?' Sometime we focus our attention in what we don't like or things that we want, but we forget to enjoy, to thank and celebrate what we have and our little wins everyday.
Journalling got me through my teen years and then life took over and I just lost that habit. I have been thinking about this for awhile now it's time to bite the bullet and just focus on this habit. I really loved writing and expressing my thoughts and wanted to write a book. Seriously this video is just a much needed kick up the backside and has inspired to put pen to paper and just go for it.
This video really got me thinking! I love the idea of asking what I’d do if money were no object. It helped me realize that happiness often comes from doing meaningful work instead of just chasing cash. The funeral question was a real eye-opener too; it made me want to be more present and connect better with loved ones. The energy audit is something I can’t wait to try! It’s wild how we often overlook what truly makes us feel good. Thanks for sharing these prompts, they’re definitely going into my journaling routine!
I tried journalling before and kept failing to be consistent. But when I started watching your videos and how you view, experience, and use journalling.. it made me more consistent and motivated to write everyday. My favourite is actually "Morning Pages", and you discussed it in another video. For the prompt, I enjoy the wheel of life. I might actually copy what Tintin does and do it every week too. 😊 Thank you for the video, Ali. And kudos to your whole team!
At your funeral I would say that this video today had a significant impact on my life. The way I've been journaling on and off all my adult life has not served me well at all. And now I know why, prompts! In the past, I just wrote stream of conscious, no structure; and that is why I was never consistent. This is going to make a big difference for me, in the way I think about journaling and they way I write from now on. The other thing I would probably mention, is the first video of yours I watched was the typing/10 FastFingers 3 or so years ago. I was an average typist, and practicing with 10FastFingers has raised my speed and confidence a great deal. I still jump on the program and practice. And, it opened me too a boat load of typing sites I didn't know existed. So thanks!!!
At 13:12 - this radical path was powerful. Unlike other prompts (e.g., what if money were no object), this one takes money completely out of the equation. And while some of the things I see myself doing on this "radical" path are similar to the "money is no object" path, it allowed to focus on the experiences rather than the money (i.e., the means) to get it. Good stuff. Thank you.
Not gonna lie, I’ve started watching it like “hmm, let me see if there’s really sth relevant here” and ended up lovin it. Trying this prompt right away (I use to journal in a more poetical/ emotional way). Thanks Ali, you’re still a guy worth following online - do not follow many 😊
Well timed video and I like that the prompts Ali suggests aren't generic; very thought-provoking and the applications he talks about outside of journaling itself are great too. One journaling prompt I'd like to add is... no prompt. AKA "Morning Pages". Just setting aside time in the morning before the chaos to brain dump free-form, longhand style thoughts onto paper (physically writing is a must, slows you down). I'm a fan of this because there's no requirement for structure and that in itself is stress-relieving for me, but I do like to mix it up with prompts every now and then.
Hi my name is Farai from Zambia. personally i never comment on videos no matter how impactful they've been, but i just want to say thank you, your content really encourages me. I'm a first year economics student at the University Of Zambia, just trying to adjust to this school thing while also trying to start a business. I constantly have a lot on my mind and your videos really help me organize my thoughts. I really can't express just how much your videos help me. please keeping making videos and i hope one day ill be able to buy your book Feel Good Productivity🙂.
I am so grateful that I clicked on this video! I've been journaling for years and for some reason have always said that I didn't like prompts without ever truly giving them a try. This really puts into perspective how valuable, constructive, and transformative they can be. I'm looking forward to journaling later! What a powerful way to help ourselves. Thank you so much Ali !
I started journalling accidently but superisingly i maintained consistent for several months and every time i saw a video about how powerful, meaningful and mind changing by increasing self awareness i get motivated to continue journalling. If someone asks me what would i want to keep if another worldwide chaos or disease happened again I would choose to have my notebook and pen ! I am regular viewer and fan of your content thank You For sharing your videos had positive impact on my life ! :)
The very first question was my favourite that is what would I do if money were no object.... Generally we don't think this way all through life..... This is truly a very thoughtful question.
Great video! One of my personal favourite prompts is from Struthless, he has this one for when life hits the fan: how is this the best thing that could have happened to me? It seems really counterintuitive, like it should never work, yet you know what, it always does! Well, for me it does, and that reframing of an initially entirely negative situation has gotten me through a whole lot this past few years!
Hey Ali, thank you for the epic video(s) 🥰 My favourite prompt is the 12 Month Celebration from one of your other journalling videos - it was something I had been trying to do, without realising I was doing it. Giving it a name - or face, in a way - seems so subtle, but that tiny change in perspective makes the whole effort of planning, setting goals and visualising what it is that I am trying to create or achieve that bit more intentional that I had some - very - welcome breakthroughs. The other prompt I had been using, but forgotten about was Brain Tracey's method - even the reminder provided so much clarity. Thank you & Keep doing what you're doing! I really appreciate it! 🥳
Prompt #3 is my favorite! I'll try out all these 10 new journalling prompts this week. I'm just starting Journaling this year and going to see what this journey is like Thank you so much for the tips and advice and I really love the things you do Ali! You're so inspiring and hoping I get to meet you one day! But for now, I'll be working towards my goals and dreams! Keep up the amazing work and don't stop sharing what you find meaningful that will help out others!
This video blew me away. I kept pausing to take down notes and I couldn't help but fantasize about my actual answers to the prompts you suggested. In fact, I can't wait to start working on those prompts when I'm free to do some journaling of my own. I'm only subscribed to two TH-cam channels (yours and Mark Manson's) and I'm often stunned by the solid content you produce regularly. Thanks a lot Ali!
As is so often the case, this video arrived at just the right time - so thank you again, Ali! Enjoyed answering all the prompts, in particular No. 8: going through my written list gave me clarity on the possibilities I see for myself as well as my current values ✨
This is the first video that I've watched of you ali and It was a good one. I've done journaling a couple of time but I'd never thought about these sort of questions to get better my journaling. Thank Ali👏
it is good to visit your content and get inspired from the prompt, keep inspiring yourself because it resonate with me or a lot of people out there. 🎉❤ thank you so much!
I've always wondered what I would do with $1M and 6 months to live. My answers centered around how I would spend the money on experiences or bucket list items. But after watching this video, that answer feels really selfish. It’s “How would I stuff myself at life’s buffet before I literally lie down on the couch to die.” I love what you said, "And a big part of what makes life feel meaningful is when we are doing things that we are good at, when we're using our strengths and when we are doing something to serve other people." The question isn't how I would gorge myself on experiences if I had $1M and six months to live. It's how many lives can I touch. How can I take what I've learned and share that with as many people as possible? Thank you for what you do, Ali!
Gorgeous video ❤Ali Thank you for continuing to create useful and inspiring content. I also journal (almost) daily before I go to bed. The only two questions I ask are: "what am I thankful for today"...oftentimes it's little things like how that beautiful baby smiled at me on the subway, my slippers, my sauna, or how kind the the lady was at the grocery store... The second question is "what would make tomorrow an awesome day" . All the things I list are things that I have complete control over like: do my morning devotional/meditation, my workout, 4 hrs. of deep work, etc. Thanks again Ali 👏👏👏
The beautiful thing I've just realized after Question #6 is that even if money and opinions were not an issue, the dreams would remain the same. Of course that without money problems it would be way easier and faster to get there. 🧡
One thing that’s cool is that the depth and usefulness of the question is coming from your own brain! I love that he puts these out into the world; isn’t it cool of you to pick them up?
Have always enjoyed your videos and did join the annual review session (but missed my 1 sec of fame as I was not there in that screenshot of that meeting). For me all the prompts have been very exciting and i wanted to ensure that the right prompts are in the right section of my journalling system (the prompt #3 in my weekly review, prompt #6 in yearly journal and half-yearly review). But the guilt that I have here is that I know some of these questions are going to open a can of worms for me and get me to answers that are better left unstated... so I have been deliberately avoiding answering them. For me that I think about is how I can get these ideas shared with my kids so that they can use it their lives - earlier the better? Your book is already on the shelf and read for them to read once they are old enough.
My journaling prompt suggestions: 1) Where have I come from? 2) Why am I here? 3) Where am I going? 4) What is my purpose in my life? 5) What happens after death?
‘On the relationships front, one of them is a secret’ 😳 wonder if you’ll reveal it to us sometime soon. Anyway, great video as always, my favourite prompt in this vid is ‘what is the goal and what is the bottleneck?’. Might try using this prompt soon. Keep the videos coming Ali!
Hi Ali, One thing I do notice about you is your humility, it inspires a lot of trust. Personally I struggle with this and I would love to know what tips you have for not letting things go to your head?
I really appreciate the content of your videos. Thank you so much for sharing all that you give us for free. I am saving for your book, I borrowed it from the library, and I think there is so much of value in it that I want to have it in my own library 😊
Hi I AM 42 years old man, I don’t drink alcohol, never smoked, no drugs etc. I have very eat life without stress and I would describe myself as a friendly and positive person- but 😂 I discovered just after 30 that I have very often headaches and them I have to go to the toilet few times- i stated to make a note with food I previously had- I have food intolerance after eating - celery , red and white cabbage, buckwheat, millet, barley, seafood, almonds, pistachios, cranberry, dry and fresh plums, raisins, oats, beef , turkey, duck, lamb and wild meats ( except chicken and pork) !! Also alkohol is not good for me , the same like wine ( especially red) I don't like beer, so I don't drink alcohol at all. I love white and green tea. I had meningitis when I was a child - if that helps. I have allergie or strong response from my body ( especially my eyes ) after taking acetylsalicylic acid. I have never had a stomach ache after eating anything in my life!!! I always have a headache first - it usually lasts up to 20 hours after eating and then I have to go to the toilet several times (I have slight diarrhea). I am 182 cm tall and I weigh 72 kg. I have an athletic figure, I don't have any diseases, I had hernia surgery when I was a child and once again at the age of 30, this time on both sides of my groin. I had few appointments with doctors and dietetics unfortunately, none of them was able to help me. I started to have strange symptoms : I had a very long-lasting cough for almost 3 months and now I feel like I have something in my throat and I have to cough quite often - I have such a hoarseness. I started to cure myself using / taking : Candex SIBO 45 Capsules ( contains : calcium, Grapefruit speed, Berberine oregano extract, Reishi) 2. L-Glutamine 500mg 90 Capsules 3. Glutamine power 4. Creatine monohydrate 5. Collagen peptides 6. Zinc Magnesium and B6 7. Vitamin B complex 8. Vit D3 9. AAKG. 10. Probiotics: 60 Billion CFU Pro Bio Cultures Complex - 60 Capsules (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, and Saccharomyces boulardii) Mastic gum Betaine HCl Sometimes I feel very well but them all symptoms returned to me again. I was thinking to start keto diet for a few weeks to see if that's will help me. Eliminate flours, sugars and dairy. Have you ever encountered a similar case or know how I can help myself?
This video give me many options for start my journaling, moreover i think is very interesting put questions with myself for be better and improve my life, thank you.
This video might be my favorite video from you, Ali! So much wisdom and life-changing lessons to learn :) Have a great day, Ali, you're truly a great teacher who better people's lives in so many aspects :)
Ive watched several of your videos Ali but I think this might be the most useful one yet. Those journaling prompts really makes me think about the alignment of thoughts and action. Thank you!
Being a part-time youtuber, my latest 2 videos were on the 'Why of journaling' and journaling prompts, seeing Ali making a video on the same topic is reassuring 👏 Small joys of life 😀
Every question is my favorites! Thank you so much for doing this video. I learnt tons! I think I must practice journaling immeadiately in my life! Thank you so much, Ali! 🙏🏼
Ali, i attended your 6th Jan 2024 workshop and that was some next level productive energy. Could you please do another? I'd love to get back to that rhythm of thinking big picture and setting up my calendar.
Well, all the prompts resonated with me… Actually I realized that a lot of the conclusions that I came to in the past few weeks are the result of your content! I do keep a journal since January first… I used to write a lot but I paused for over a year… don’t ask my why… and a have been reflecting on my life but not with prompts but based on events of the day, how I felt, why, conclusions, thoughts, what if this or that was different. Thank you for your time
My current nightly prompts come from the book "The Gap andthe Gain". Write 3 gains from today (wins or lessons learned) and write 3 gains for tomorrow (predictions). Keeps the focus on the positive
My favorite is the wheel of life. I used to evaluate each on my satisfaction levels, but your way of framing it with alignment has changed the game for me

Journalling is incredibly powerful, you are right! I have been writing for years and I spend a couple of hours each day writing from the heart first and then scripting after - and I love it. This video is so fantastic, thank you :)
holy crap, a couple of hours a day? that is a lot
Following you changed my life I might not be going through each TH-cam videos and following them step by step
But whenever I feel I need an advice or need to be more productive in my life I check your channel
I wish to buy your books someday and read them all❤️
WOW! absolutelly mind blowing prompts that make my reflect about my actual path. Thanks for sharing this content, is really really useful and valuable for me. Another prompt that I like to use in my journaling process is 'What I'm thankful for?' Sometime we focus our attention in what we don't like or things that we want, but we forget to enjoy, to thank and celebrate what we have and our little wins everyday.
Ali, your videos are truly inspiring, and what sets them apart is the emphasis on living a fulfilling life rather than just focusing on the grind.
Exactly!
Journalling got me through my teen years and then life took over and I just lost that habit. I have been thinking about this for awhile now it's time to bite the bullet and just focus on this habit. I really loved writing and expressing my thoughts and wanted to write a book. Seriously this video is just a much needed kick up the backside and has inspired to put pen to paper and just go for it.
This video really got me thinking! I love the idea of asking what I’d do if money were no object. It helped me realize that happiness often comes from doing meaningful work instead of just chasing cash. The funeral question was a real eye-opener too; it made me want to be more present and connect better with loved ones. The energy audit is something I can’t wait to try! It’s wild how we often overlook what truly makes us feel good. Thanks for sharing these prompts, they’re definitely going into my journaling routine!
I tried journalling before and kept failing to be consistent. But when I started watching your videos and how you view, experience, and use journalling.. it made me more consistent and motivated to write everyday.
My favourite is actually "Morning Pages", and you discussed it in another video.
For the prompt, I enjoy the wheel of life. I might actually copy what Tintin does and do it every week too. 😊 Thank you for the video, Ali. And kudos to your whole team!
At your funeral I would say that this video today had a significant impact on my life. The way I've been journaling on and off all my adult life has not served me well at all. And now I know why, prompts! In the past, I just wrote stream of conscious, no structure; and that is why I was never consistent. This is going to make a big difference for me, in the way I think about journaling and they way I write from now on. The other thing I would probably mention, is the first video of yours I watched was the typing/10 FastFingers 3 or so years ago. I was an average typist, and practicing with 10FastFingers has raised my speed and confidence a great deal. I still jump on the program and practice. And, it opened me too a boat load of typing sites I didn't know existed. So thanks!!!
At 13:12 - this radical path was powerful. Unlike other prompts (e.g., what if money were no object), this one takes money completely out of the equation. And while some of the things I see myself doing on this "radical" path are similar to the "money is no object" path, it allowed to focus on the experiences rather than the money (i.e., the means) to get it. Good stuff. Thank you.
Not gonna lie, I’ve started watching it like “hmm, let me see if there’s really sth relevant here” and ended up lovin it. Trying this prompt right away (I use to journal in a more poetical/ emotional way). Thanks Ali, you’re still a guy worth following online - do not follow many 😊
Well timed video and I like that the prompts Ali suggests aren't generic; very thought-provoking and the applications he talks about outside of journaling itself are great too.
One journaling prompt I'd like to add is... no prompt. AKA "Morning Pages". Just setting aside time in the morning before the chaos to brain dump free-form, longhand style thoughts onto paper (physically writing is a must, slows you down). I'm a fan of this because there's no requirement for structure and that in itself is stress-relieving for me, but I do like to mix it up with prompts every now and then.
I love this, it really helps.
Hi my name is Farai from Zambia. personally i never comment on videos no matter how impactful they've been, but i just want to say thank you, your content really encourages me. I'm a first year economics student at the University Of Zambia, just trying to adjust to this school thing while also trying to start a business. I constantly have a lot on my mind and your videos really help me organize my thoughts. I really can't express just how much your videos help me. please keeping making videos and i hope one day ill be able to buy your book Feel Good Productivity🙂.
I am so grateful that I clicked on this video! I've been journaling for years and for some reason have always said that I didn't like prompts without ever truly giving them a try. This really puts into perspective how valuable, constructive, and transformative they can be. I'm looking forward to journaling later! What a powerful way to help ourselves. Thank you so much Ali !
I started journalling accidently but superisingly i maintained consistent for several months and every time i saw a video about how powerful, meaningful and mind changing by increasing self awareness i get motivated to continue journalling.
If someone asks me what would i want to keep if another worldwide chaos or disease happened again I would choose to have my notebook and pen !
I am regular viewer and fan of your content thank You For sharing your videos had positive impact on my life ! :)
I'm glad you don't just make videos for stuff you have products for. I've used a lot of these from you from other videos. Very helpful
This is one of my favorite TH-cam channels. Top 3. Thank you so much!❤
What's the other 2?
The very first question was my favourite that is what would I do if money were no object.... Generally we don't think this way all through life..... This is truly a very thoughtful question.
Great video! One of my personal favourite prompts is from Struthless, he has this one for when life hits the fan: how is this the best thing that could have happened to me? It seems really counterintuitive, like it should never work, yet you know what, it always does! Well, for me it does, and that reframing of an initially entirely negative situation has gotten me through a whole lot this past few years!
Thank you so much. You are one of my good teachers in life.
Hey Ali, thank you for the epic video(s) 🥰 My favourite prompt is the 12 Month Celebration from one of your other journalling videos - it was something I had been trying to do, without realising I was doing it. Giving it a name - or face, in a way - seems so subtle, but that tiny change in perspective makes the whole effort of planning, setting goals and visualising what it is that I am trying to create or achieve that bit more intentional that I had some - very - welcome breakthroughs. The other prompt I had been using, but forgotten about was Brain Tracey's method - even the reminder provided so much clarity. Thank you & Keep doing what you're doing! I really appreciate it! 🥳
Prompt #3 is my favorite! I'll try out all these 10 new journalling prompts this week. I'm just starting Journaling this year and going to see what this journey is like Thank you so much for the tips and advice and I really love the things you do Ali! You're so inspiring and hoping I get to meet you one day! But for now, I'll be working towards my goals and dreams! Keep up the amazing work and don't stop sharing what you find meaningful that will help out others!
Wow, this is by far my fav vidoe of yours! And yes, your energy has changed so much for the better - that's what I call success!
This video blew me away. I kept pausing to take down notes and I couldn't help but fantasize about my actual answers to the prompts you suggested. In fact, I can't wait to start working on those prompts when I'm free to do some journaling of my own. I'm only subscribed to two TH-cam channels (yours and Mark Manson's) and I'm often stunned by the solid content you produce regularly. Thanks a lot Ali!
You know you've been given some great advice when you start doing it in your mind🤩
@@follow.the.dragonfly I'm pursuing that feeling all the time!
Watching your vides helps to think and to think is to live. Thanks, Ali
Ali that energy audit was increadibly eye opening and very helpful thank you for the wonderfully helpful content!
As is so often the case, this video arrived at just the right time - so thank you again, Ali! Enjoyed answering all the prompts, in particular No. 8: going through my written list gave me clarity on the possibilities I see for myself as well as my current values ✨
This is the first video that I've watched of you ali and It was a good one. I've done journaling a couple of time but I'd never thought about these sort of questions to get better my journaling. Thank Ali👏
it is good to visit your content and get inspired from the prompt, keep inspiring yourself because it resonate with me or a lot of people out there. 🎉❤ thank you so much!
I've always wondered what I would do with $1M and 6 months to live. My answers centered around how I would spend the money on experiences or bucket list items.
But after watching this video, that answer feels really selfish. It’s “How would I stuff myself at life’s buffet before I literally lie down on the couch to die.”
I love what you said, "And a big part of what makes life feel meaningful is when we are doing things that we are good at, when we're using our strengths and when we are doing something to serve other people."
The question isn't how I would gorge myself on experiences if I had $1M and six months to live.
It's how many lives can I touch. How can I take what I've learned and share that with as many people as possible?
Thank you for what you do, Ali!
Gorgeous video ❤Ali Thank you for continuing to create useful and inspiring content. I also journal (almost) daily before I go to bed. The only two questions I ask are: "what am I thankful for today"...oftentimes it's little things like how that beautiful baby smiled at me on the subway, my slippers, my sauna, or how kind the the lady was at the grocery store... The second question is "what would make tomorrow an awesome day" . All the things I list are things that I have complete control over like: do my morning devotional/meditation, my workout, 4 hrs. of deep work, etc. Thanks again Ali 👏👏👏
I love every video Ali creates. Keep building the videos you want Ali!
Thanks so much for this. I found that answering questions are the key to really understanding who you are and what you want in life.
The beautiful thing I've just realized after Question #6 is that even if money and opinions were not an issue, the dreams would remain the same. Of course that without money problems it would be way easier and faster to get there. 🧡
Thanks Ali, another productive video on journaling. Ive been journaling for years! :)
Only watched this video and one other and so far the content is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. Thank you. ❤ you have a new subscriber 😊
Some amazing ideas and insights! You've once again gained a position in my must-to-watch-contents list. Thank you, Ali!
I actually am flabbergasted how deep and useful these questions are
One thing that’s cool is that the depth and usefulness of the question is coming from your own brain! I love that he puts these out into the world; isn’t it cool of you to pick them up?
Have always enjoyed your videos and did join the annual review session (but missed my 1 sec of fame as I was not there in that screenshot of that meeting). For me all the prompts have been very exciting and i wanted to ensure that the right prompts are in the right section of my journalling system (the prompt #3 in my weekly review, prompt #6 in yearly journal and half-yearly review). But the guilt that I have here is that I know some of these questions are going to open a can of worms for me and get me to answers that are better left unstated... so I have been deliberately avoiding answering them.
For me that I think about is how I can get these ideas shared with my kids so that they can use it their lives - earlier the better? Your book is already on the shelf and read for them to read once they are old enough.
Cool thing , i also came across that reel by Brian Tracey , really insightful ❤
My journaling prompt suggestions:
1) Where have I come from?
2) Why am I here?
3) Where am I going?
4) What is my purpose in my life?
5) What happens after death?
AND the rest solves itself❤
‘On the relationships front, one of them is a secret’ 😳 wonder if you’ll reveal it to us sometime soon. Anyway, great video as always, my favourite prompt in this vid is ‘what is the goal and what is the bottleneck?’. Might try using this prompt soon. Keep the videos coming Ali!
Hi Ali, One thing I do notice about you is your humility, it inspires a lot of trust. Personally I struggle with this and I would love to know what tips you have for not letting things go to your head?
It's surprising to me that Ali loves teaching!Anyway a lot of love from a prospective teacher❤
WOW, so thrilled to have just found you!!! Love your thinking! Looking forward to learning with you!!! Thank you!!!
I really appreciate the content of your videos. Thank you so much for sharing all that you give us for free. I am saving for your book, I borrowed it from the library, and I think there is so much of value in it that I want to have it in my own library 😊
Thanks Ali, that was the best content on journaling that I have ever come across with, hands down😍
This is SOOOO good!!!!!!! Glad I found you!!
Ramadan Mubarak Ali❤
Hi
I AM 42 years old man, I don’t drink alcohol, never smoked, no drugs etc. I have very eat life without stress and I would describe myself as a friendly and positive person- but 😂 I discovered just after 30 that I have very often headaches and them I have to go to the toilet few times- i stated to make a note with food I previously had- I have food intolerance after eating - celery , red and white cabbage, buckwheat, millet, barley, seafood, almonds, pistachios, cranberry, dry and fresh plums, raisins, oats, beef , turkey, duck, lamb and wild meats ( except chicken and pork) !!
Also alkohol is not good for me , the same like wine ( especially red) I don't like beer, so I don't drink alcohol at all.
I love white and green tea.
I had meningitis when I was a child - if that helps.
I have allergie or strong response from my body ( especially my eyes ) after taking acetylsalicylic acid.
I have never had a stomach ache after eating anything in my life!!! I always have a headache first - it usually lasts up to 20 hours after eating and then I have to go to the toilet several times (I have slight diarrhea).
I am 182 cm tall and I weigh 72 kg. I have an athletic figure, I don't have any diseases, I had hernia surgery when I was a child and once again at the age of 30, this time on both sides of my groin.
I had few appointments with doctors and dietetics unfortunately, none of them was able to help me.
I started to have strange symptoms : I had a very long-lasting cough for almost 3 months and now I feel like I have something in my throat and I have to cough quite often - I have such a hoarseness.
I started to cure myself using / taking :
Candex SIBO 45 Capsules ( contains : calcium, Grapefruit speed, Berberine oregano extract, Reishi)
2. L-Glutamine 500mg 90 Capsules
3. Glutamine power
4. Creatine monohydrate
5. Collagen peptides
6. Zinc Magnesium and B6
7. Vitamin B complex
8. Vit D3
9. AAKG.
10. Probiotics: 60 Billion CFU Pro Bio
Cultures Complex - 60 Capsules (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, and
Saccharomyces boulardii)
Mastic gum
Betaine HCl
Sometimes I feel very well but them all symptoms returned to me again.
I was thinking to start keto diet for a few weeks to see if that's will help me. Eliminate flours, sugars and dairy.
Have you ever encountered a similar case or know how I can help myself?
Thanks Ali, your contribution to the world with your own unique perspective it's very apreciated
You are such an amazing human Ali 💖 Thank you for this amazing content
2 year perspective and the goal and bottleneck thought are my fav
this is the most meaningful video you've ever created. thank you.
This video give me many options for start my journaling, moreover i think is very interesting put questions with myself for be better and improve my life, thank you.
This video might be my favorite video from you, Ali! So much wisdom and life-changing lessons to learn :) Have a great day, Ali, you're truly a great teacher who better people's lives in so many aspects :)
Ali, you really impacted my life, really a big portion of who I am right now, is because of you, thank you so much for being there for me...
Thankyou for doing what you do and being such an inspiration for so many people Ali.
Ive watched several of your videos Ali but I think this might be the most useful one yet. Those journaling prompts really makes me think about the alignment of thoughts and action. Thank you!
Well your content does deliver those goals of yours to me definitely!
Love journaling prompt video!
Being a part-time youtuber, my latest 2 videos were on the 'Why of journaling' and journaling prompts, seeing Ali making a video on the same topic is reassuring 👏 Small joys of life 😀
Thanks Ali you have put a depresses person on Track
We love your content Ali, i wast just watching your podcast deep dive ❤
Every question is my favorites! Thank you so much for doing this video. I learnt tons! I think I must practice journaling immeadiately in my life! Thank you so much, Ali! 🙏🏼
Ali, i attended your 6th Jan 2024 workshop and that was some next level productive energy. Could you please do another? I'd love to get back to that rhythm of thinking big picture and setting up my calendar.
This sounds very interesting,. What was your biggest takeaway from that workshop?
Thank you Ali and the team! An amazing video!:)
Well, all the prompts resonated with me…
Actually I realized that a lot of the conclusions that I came to in the past few weeks are the result of your content!
I do keep a journal since January first… I used to write a lot but I paused for over a year… don’t ask my why… and a have been reflecting on my life but not with prompts but based on events of the day, how I felt, why, conclusions, thoughts, what if this or that was different.
Thank you for your time
Highly inspired by this channel always, as we started our journey here on TH-cam. Getting there, slowly but surely. :)
Ali's content inspired me finally to launch my TH-cam channel. Thank you, Ali, for being a mentor from another part of the world.
你的書籍非常好看,我標示了很多重點,也分享給我的孩子閱讀,期待你有更多的書籍出版,謝謝你分享這麼好的理念傳遞整個世界。………來自台灣🌺
HUGE like! So important right now as I move toward retirement from education and need to focus on a health issue. 😊
My current nightly prompts come from the book "The Gap andthe Gain". Write 3 gains from today (wins or lessons learned) and write 3 gains for tomorrow (predictions). Keeps the focus on the positive
I LOVE your videos recently. Thank you for everything you do Ali, you’re the best 🤩🤗🙏🏼
Hey Ali i am following you from a long time and every time i get insights from your work. Thanks :)
Ali iam from Rwanda in africa but you changed my life for real, keep going ❤
My favorite is the wheel of life. I used to evaluate each on my satisfaction levels, but your way of framing it with alignment has changed the game for me
