Techniques: 1 - brain dump. For five minutes or so, just get all of your thoughts and feelings down. Don’t censor yourself. 2 - gratitude. Write down a few things you are grateful for - anything - they can be very ordinary. 3 - ask your higher self. Ask a question, and allow your higher self to answer through writing. 4 - bullet journaling - an organization method. No details provided, but she says it’s critical for her. 5 - expressive writing. Similar to the brain dump, perhaps the same thing. She mentions writing about difficult past experiences, with more intentionality to dig into the past. 6 - story worth moment. Each day captured by one line so you create a log that you can look back on significant happenings. 7 - goal setting and manifestation. You are far more likely to achieve your goals if you write them down. 8 - wheel of life. Rate all major areas of your life from 1-10. The categories are: Fun and recreation, physical environment, business/career, finances, personal growth, romance, family and friends, and health. 9 - holistic check-in. Write down how you are feeling, using “I feel” statements. 10 - weekly review. Review the past week, and plan on the upcoming week. Decide on a theme for the week, such as rest, and set a few goals. Tips: keep it minimal in the beginning; set a timer for five minutes; habit stacking with other practices like meditation; choose a beautiful journal and pen. Take action: Pick two things to get started, right now. Personal recommendations: rip apart and throw away your brain dumps and expressive writing, otherwise you will censor yourself in case someone finds it. Loose leaf paper is better than a journal for this. // For story worthy moments, shop for a five year journal. // Keep your journals next to your bed, and consider doing a sleep and dream journal. // Write down your wins at the end of the day.
@@IzzySealey well that is two persons now.i just came across your channel and i am wondering why it never showed up in my feed sooner.you are just so amazing.
They did a study that found its not just finding things to list to be grateful everyday, but to change them up so that you SPEND TIME REFLECTING on what to be grateful for.... it is the time reflecting, looking for, things to be grateful for that causes the improved mood, not simply listing what you ought to be grateful for. FEEL the gratitude... SEEK the things daily to be grateful for.
Yes feeling is important, it's the same for manifestation also. I write what I'm grateful for and find 10 reasons why I am grateful for it, it definitely help 😊
It's 1 am in China, and I just finished journaling. It feels like I just had a therapy session with myself-haha! I'm feeling so calm and refreshed at the same time❤
I am 58 years old and have attempted starting a journaling practice / habit many time over the years by purchasing beautiful journaling books. The books always ended up being gifted to a friend who has journaled her whole life. Two weeks ago I started journaling on my IPad and it seems to be a much easier / consistent way for me.
That was exactly my frustration. Are you using a journaling app or tool? if so please share. If I don't have it with me, I won't do it. I think it may have to do with my ADHD.
I use Penzu online journaling and love it. It keeps things private. If I write things down on paper or have photos I can easily transfer them to the journal as an attachment or screen shot.
Nothing online is really private. And 20 years from now you won't be able to access them because of updates and data losses. But a physical written book that requires no electricity or upgrades or technology will always be there Stuff I wrote in the 80's is still there and I don't need to remember passwords or any technology to read it.
No matter what Dr. Izzy is talking about, it's a pleasure to listen to and watch. It is aesthetically pleasing and has a positive vibe, but it is also informative at the same time. Thank you!
Dear Izzy, I'm should give you a big Thank U for you and your channel, it helped me out from the dark months and made me try to start loving myself. I feel I have a chance to pursue a better life for me and for my family. You have a very charming and comfort accent, and also friendly words and grammar to understand even for such a bad English learner like me. The content, never doubted. I'm so happy to see you have over 580k subscribers for less than 100k. I cant wait to see more videos from you, it always not enough to see. best and have a good one.
Hey, I just left the journal habit, but seeing this makes me want to get back to it! After watching this video, I noticed that I'm currently struggling with finding myself because I'm always changing and seeking a meaningful life. The fact that you mentioned capturing a moment is what I need right now. Thanks, Dr. Izzy!
Hi Izzy, I hope you're doing well. I recently checked your TH-cam channel and noticed there haven't been any updates for about five months. I just wanted to wish you good health and continued success. Your content is truly inspiring, and I hope you'll be able to continue sharing it with us.
I just discovered this video today and I think I watched it 4 or 5 times. I love the way you expand so much beyond just basic writing style and habits. Thank you so much for sharing this. I will begin to put into practice some of these concepts and experiment with what works best for me. Wonderful video!
Izzy, I'm a 22 year old medical student in Africa.. Honestly you have inspired me alot through your own journey I hope to see more of your videos soon ❤
I enjoyed your video as I do journaling myself. I had the same reasons why I did journaling as you mentioned on your video but lately as I’m nearing my retirement age, and “senior moments” often came. I find my journals a great help to remind of things, events & people who & which mattered to me. I really find writing my happy thing! Thanks for all the tips & ideas. May you continue your journey of journaling and I’m happy for you! 😊❤
Journaling is such an underrated strategy to change you life and achieve objectives. I like to look back over the years and see how my perspectives, ideas, or viewpoints have developed. Thanks for sharing this. Super applicable!
This video helped me so much. I am starting today. We are so self critical of ourselves and journaling will put those thoughts in perspective. Thank you for this ❤
Just an FYI: A gratitude journal entry works best when you fully dive into sharing those things with as much detail as possible. It should be so clear that if another read it, they'd feel like they also experienced it. Creatively detailed. Just making a list doesn't activate the same biological changes, which is the point.
Journaling sounds like this is a good way to be our own psychologists, to record our wins for happiness, and analyze our goals and troubles to figure out our direction in life. Looks like a good system. Thanks for this info.
Writing things down makes such a significant impact on my mindfulness & intentionality!!! I’ve just started journaling this year, and it’s done me wonders so far. This was so informative, loved every second of the video, definitely applying the methods to my own routine!!! Thank you so much for sharing your tips & experience with us ❤
Journaling is my all time fave for transformations. I love looking back at my old journals sometimes and just completely blown away with the things I find.. like who was she lol. Love this. Thank you Dr. Izzy!
This is the best and helpful video about journaling I have watched thus far. It's simple to understanding the benefits and the structure of different type of journaling and therefore, this at least helps me to choose which one suit me and benefit for me on different date (depend on my situation).
i've been bullet journaling since 2019 and have been expanding into other forms of journaling since then. i learned a lot of new forms from this video, thank you for sharing!
I just found you today and 14 minutes in I’ve subscribed because I feel like you speak to me. Thank you for that. I would *love* a Bullet Journaling video from you. Yes, please.
Thank you Izzy , you inspired me to start and that's what i did this morning. Mom brought me a new lavender journal on my bday, today i dusted it and started writing my to do lists, my gratitude thoughts, and How can i make things more Fun today. We love you ❤
A couple of these prompts like the higher self advice and traumatic event journaling was great! I'm looking forward to trying them out literally tomorrow
One video that sums up the topic completely with the notes for areas where we fail and leave the process in between. Perfection is the enemy of good. Start small that can be completed in 5 mins.
Thank you so much, this was the structure I needed to level up my journaling. For the past years I've just been doing brain dump, and some sort of to-do list.
I'm excited to start this in waxing moon energies. When we write our goals in blue ink, they are more likely to be accomplished. Writing in longhand (cursive, but don't curse, only Bliss) grants access to the subconscious mind, and the correct formation of each letter cultivates the virtues represented by that letter. Additionally, the act of writing is an action that takes our desires from non-physical to physical because they go from thoughts to words. Then speaking forth our carefully worded declaration or decree ads another layer of manifestation that is indelibly imprinted on our inner and outer environment.
I did a lot of brain dump journaling when I was a teen with emotions I found difficult to understand or even control. Recently I picked up journaling again, and I've found it so helpful in self discovery. I'd like to learn more about bullet journaling. I hope you make a video for it. Let me go download the book you highlighted as well.
Great video, Izzy! Thank you for making it! I'm so glad you decided to make videos on YT because you're helping not just one person but thousands of people. I'm grateful for you. Would love to see a video on your bullet system. Thank you!
Thanks a lot for this super useful video, I already do many of those journaling methods, but I learned quite a few new things and loved your perspective on the ones I already do.
Thank you very much for your posting! It’s wonderful to wake up to a positive, uplifting message. As for your content, I find it precise and to the point! I often find myself journaling when I need to clear my mind or just put my thoughts in writing. I have since used Google drive to journal (it is easier to edit and I can share it with friends if I choose to). Anyway, I really respect what you’re doing to the online community which is to give positive, uplifting advice to others and hopefully improve their lives! You’re also an inspiration to many young people who aspire to become doctors! Thank you again for sharing.
Hi Izzy! Thank you so much for putting together such a comprehensive video on journaling! I've been journaling digitally for years but your video has made me want to give paper journaling a try 😧 I would love to see a video on how you bullet journal, that would be so helpful! 💛
Thank you so much for your content, so helpful, really peaceful, graceful content. Your videos and scenery at the back is really beautiful and inspirational.
I journaled for half a year everyday but what i realised was that its not for everyone. I initially started it to ease my anxiety, however what happened instead was nothing. Journaling for me felt like a chore i was forcing myself to do. I saw no improvements over time and i gave up on it. I only keep a common place notebook where i write things i would like to remember, thoughts, advises, fun facts, all that.
I did this when I first started journaling, I quit after a time. But I picked it up again 6 months later, after learning a better way to journal, that was easier and took less work. This time it stuck… even though there has been stretches of time when I didn’t journal. But I’ve found that 6 years later, having history to go back to when I need to remember a thing, is extremely useful. Journaling is like a muscle that exercise makes better. The more you enjoy going back to look at an event or a memory or notes from a meeting, or tracking emotions around menstruation or WHATEVER… the better you get at disclosing more useful details. And I’ve got to stage where I feel lost when I don’t have my journal. I use it for everything: planning, tasks, journaling thoughts and feelings, things to remember, what I’m up to in a task and what I have to do next when I get back to that task… Just saying, rather than saying That’s that, it’s not for me; allow yourself to find a different way that works for you because it can be very rewarding. Especially as you go through life’s changes.
Beautiful. A big thumbs up. Actually had my journal in hand while watching this, to note stuff. Also noted some stuff that was bothering me. Have a good day.
Great video, I was in a beautiful marriage before my now ex wife left me, we were ALWAYS like two kids playing in a sandbox. We were best friends and we understand each other. We help each other 100%. i still love her and most times I cant stop thinking about her, i am doing my very best to get rid of the thought of her, but i just cant, i love her so much, i don't know why i am bringing this here for, i cant stop thinking about her.
its always difficult to let go of someone you love, i was in a similar situation, my wife for 31 years left me, i couldnt just let her go, i did all i could to get her back, i had to seek the help of a spiritual doctor who helped me bring her back.
I really hope you find happiness 🖤 And usually the next is better than the ex! I think it's because of the lessons you learn from the ex and the standards you set, so the next one you find will meet all that and be all that and better! That's always been what I noticed at least. So even if you don't get her back, know it WILL get better. This is only just a small part of your life and time does make things easier. It will get better whether it's with her or not. You'll have downs of course because you're human and we all go through good and bad times, but you will find happiness again, it's not over for you. It might feel like that right now but I swear it isn't.
Thank you 🩵🩵🩵Valuable video for me - and yes!🙌 agreed - that journaling will change life. I’ve just completed one journal (pages are full) where on one side of the page I wrote daily about all the things I’m thankful for and on the other a “dreaming of and praying for” space. After one year of doing this (March 2023 to now), I’ve let go of 55lbs, moved into a new space that has many of the elements I was dreaming of and my focus to create something is honed to a good spot to begin a small side-hustle. Truly changed my life in one year. The power of writing. 🩵🩵🩵 REQUEST PLEASE: At minute 22:30-ish you talked about setting a “theme” for your week… can you expand on that concept in another video? I do a “word of the year” and that’s so helpful, I’m imagining what marrying it with a smaller theme idea could do for a week or even a month… 🤔
I've been doing Morning pages for 3 years, they've changed my life and are witness to my changing life :) Julia says it's a spiral process and guess it's time for me to begin again :) Thank you for this video
Hi Izzy! I rarely comment on videos, but I want to let you know that I loved your video. I have been on this journaling/performance journey for a long time, and I can tell that this is very well-researched, and it truly captures the majority of things that work for me! Good job!
Absolutely! Just a minute of journaling each day can significantly amplify self-awareness and goal attainment. It's fascinating how such a simple practice can lead to profound insights and positive changes. 📓
Dear Dr. Izzy. I just wanted to let you know that your smile is truly a gift from God. You have this incredible ability to use your gaze and your smile as part of the healing process. Even without saying a word, you manage to convey comfort, empathy, and genuine care to your patients, making them feel more than just hospital patients or health plan clients, but rather human beings worthy of love and understanding. Please, whenever you have a little free time, consider donating this wonderful smile to the children who are battling cancer. Your simple gesture can make their day happier and their treatment less painful. Every time you share this gift, you are spreading light and hope in a world that so desperately needs it. I deeply appreciate everything you do, Dr. Izzy. You are an inspiration and a true example of kindness and compassion.
This is the first journalling video that I have finally found that has hit the nail on the head so beautifully. Realistic, achievable and so encouraging, thank you so much!
Thank you for your videos, i know of these methods, and do some on and off but it has never really stuck. This summary / overview video and reasons why we should do those journaling tasks is exactly what i need.
thank-you, for this video, this will really help. My favorite journaling video thus far, I can't wait to dig in this next year after journaling for a year already.
I have been bullet journaling for the last three months and even my friends can see the nice changes... I'm finishing my master abroad, writing my thesis and looking for jobs. and now I realized all mistakes I was making, specially in mindset and habbits, now I see the shift, absolutly reccomended. I'm already seeing the results.
I'm 50+ and just recently I discovered importance of journalling, yet unclear how to do.....and i stumbled on this video which is a good place to begin....yes plsss, make a bullet journalling video, would be very helpful.
Starting this journey and this video really helped me to understand the process and science behind journaling. Please make the bulletin journaling video, I think I will like this method of journaling.
Thank you for this video, these are great tips! I've been writing more and more in my journal and I'm learning how to journal for my scientific research and work. It's becoming a very important part of my workflow. However, I hadn't realized how impactful it can be for personal life too. I want to integrate these into my journaling practice. You're a great TH-camr.
Wonderful video about the different types of journaling! . . . Nice that you reference "Morning Pages" from 'The Artist's Way' book by Julia Cameron and "Habit Stacking" from the 'Atomic Habits' book by James Clear. . . . You're right! Gotta take action and start journaling. . . I just subscribed and will check out you're suggested links. . . Keep up the fantastic job!😁
What a lovely, intelligent, hard-working, beautiful, natural, refreshing, ... lady she is; besides, she's a medical colleague. Well done young lady! My most sincere congratulations from lovely Mallorca 😊
I brain dump + gratitude with a little "I’m working on this" and "these are my dreams." I like asking my higher self through it. Ty Perfect timing 12:26
I'm loving the editing skills btw.You definitely know how to keep us engaged a thing I'm learning and looking forward to implement.Thank you for always being an inspiration to many of us
I started journaling yesterday! I wish i started earlier, it feels so good to just let it all out on paper without worrying about how it would sound (i usually write songs)
I loved this video and am soooo grateful to have your content appear on my feed. I know the benefit of journaling, but it has been a long time since reaping ibenefits. Your suggestions are awesome! I commit to reengaging my bullet journal and using the advice from my higher self model. Perfect timing. I subscribed. You made my freaking day. THANK YOU!🙏
1:05 "If you're new here, my name is Izzy. I am a Cambridge graduate and a doctor..." Left out: I'm very intelligent, I like to help people, I'm beautiful. I am the perfect woman. 😊
Came across your video while trying figure out ways to ease my mind these as it seems very cluttered with though due to major changes in the life events. Your video is very precise to the points I was really looking forward too. And yes I would love to see your Bullet Journal format. 💛 Loved the quote : Perfect is the enemy of good 👍
Very helpful considering I just started journaling after years of resisting it. You're right about witnessing progress in real-time or within given time snapshots. Great job Doctor! I'm most grateful for the Lord who put me here for a reason. I pray I am glorifying His name in all that I do. God bless you!

Great video, Izzy! Thank you for making it! I'm so glad you decided to make videos on YT because you're helping not just one person but thousands of people. I'm grateful for you. Would love to see a video on your bullet system. Thank you!
Thanks a lot for this super useful video, I already do many of those journaling methods, but I learned quite a few new things and loved your perspective on the ones I already do.
we have the same journaling equipments! it's the best combination!!
Saved the video to watch after my ongoing medical school finals.
Good luck to you.
Ahhhh I know the pain well. Good luck, I'm sure you've smashed them! :) ❤
Thank you very much for your posting! It’s wonderful to wake up to a positive, uplifting message. As for your content, I find it precise and to the point! I often find myself journaling when I need to clear my mind or just put my thoughts in writing. I have since used Google drive to journal (it is easier to edit and I can share it with friends if I choose to). Anyway, I really respect what you’re doing to the online community which is to give positive, uplifting advice to others and hopefully improve their lives! You’re also an inspiration to many young people who aspire to become doctors! Thank you again for sharing.
Hi Izzy! Thank you so much for putting together such a comprehensive video on journaling! I've been journaling digitally for years but your video has made me want to give paper journaling a try 😧 I would love to see a video on how you bullet journal, that would be so helpful! 💛
❤❤
Thank you so much for your content, so helpful, really peaceful, graceful content. Your videos and scenery at the back is really beautiful and inspirational.
I journaled for half a year everyday but what i realised was that its not for everyone. I initially started it to ease my anxiety, however what happened instead was nothing. Journaling for me felt like a chore i was forcing myself to do. I saw no improvements over time and i gave up on it. I only keep a common place notebook where i write things i would like to remember, thoughts, advises, fun facts, all that.
I just started a commonplace notebook and I LOVE it.
@@TruFlyFox they're great!
Well said!
What kind of journalling did you try? :) Defo agree, different things work for different people
I did this when I first started journaling, I quit after a time. But I picked it up again 6 months later, after learning a better way to journal, that was easier and took less work. This time it stuck… even though there has been stretches of time when I didn’t journal. But I’ve found that 6 years later, having history to go back to when I need to remember a thing, is extremely useful. Journaling is like a muscle that exercise makes better. The more you enjoy going back to look at an event or a memory or notes from a meeting, or tracking emotions around menstruation or WHATEVER… the better you get at disclosing more useful details. And I’ve got to stage where I feel lost when I don’t have my journal. I use it for everything: planning, tasks, journaling thoughts and feelings, things to remember, what I’m up to in a task and what I have to do next when I get back to that task… Just saying, rather than saying That’s that, it’s not for me; allow yourself to find a different way that works for you because it can be very rewarding. Especially as you go through life’s changes.
Beautiful. A big thumbs up. Actually had my journal in hand while watching this, to note stuff. Also noted some stuff that was bothering me. Have a good day.
Great video, I was in a beautiful marriage before my now ex wife left me, we were ALWAYS like two kids playing in a sandbox. We were best friends and we understand each other. We help each other 100%. i still love her and most times I cant stop thinking about her, i am doing my very best to get rid of the thought of her, but i just cant, i love her so much, i don't know why i am bringing this here for, i cant stop thinking about her.
its always difficult to let go of someone you love, i was in a similar situation, my wife for 31 years left me, i couldnt just let her go, i did all i could to get her back, i had to seek the help of a spiritual doctor who helped me bring her back.
thats amazing please how did you get a spiritual doctor and how do i reach him?.
its not a him, it a she, Her name is Queen Stella Laveaux,and she is a great spiritual adviser who can bring back your ex.
Thank you for this valuable information,i just looked her up now online. impressive
I really hope you find happiness 🖤 And usually the next is better than the ex! I think it's because of the lessons you learn from the ex and the standards you set, so the next one you find will meet all that and be all that and better! That's always been what I noticed at least. So even if you don't get her back, know it WILL get better. This is only just a small part of your life and time does make things easier. It will get better whether it's with her or not. You'll have downs of course because you're human and we all go through good and bad times, but you will find happiness again, it's not over for you. It might feel like that right now but I swear it isn't.
Thank you 🩵🩵🩵Valuable video for me - and yes!🙌 agreed - that journaling will change life. I’ve just completed one journal (pages are full) where on one side of the page I wrote daily about all the things I’m thankful for and on the other a “dreaming of and praying for” space. After one year of doing this (March 2023 to now), I’ve let go of 55lbs, moved into a new space that has many of the elements I was dreaming of and my focus to create something is honed to a good spot to begin a small side-hustle. Truly changed my life in one year. The power of writing. 🩵🩵🩵 REQUEST PLEASE: At minute 22:30-ish you talked about setting a “theme” for your week… can you expand on that concept in another video? I do a “word of the year” and that’s so helpful, I’m imagining what marrying it with a smaller theme idea could do for a week or even a month… 🤔
I've been doing Morning pages for 3 years, they've changed my life and are witness to my changing life :) Julia says it's a spiral process and guess it's time for me to begin again :) Thank you for this video
Congratulations Dr Izzy on your marriage 🎉
Hi Izzy! I rarely comment on videos, but I want to let you know that I loved your video. I have been on this journaling/performance journey for a long time, and I can tell that this is very well-researched, and it truly captures the majority of things that work for me! Good job!
Thank you!! :) ❤
Absolutely! Just a minute of journaling each day can significantly amplify self-awareness and goal attainment. It's fascinating how such a simple practice can lead to profound insights and positive changes. 📓
Love your presentation I am journaling since 4 years and yes I love doing it it's magical and life changing
Dear Dr. Izzy. I just wanted to let you know that your smile is truly a gift from God. You have this incredible ability to use your gaze and your smile as part of the healing process. Even without saying a word, you manage to convey comfort, empathy, and genuine care to your patients, making them feel more than just hospital patients or health plan clients, but rather human beings worthy of love and understanding.
Please, whenever you have a little free time, consider donating this wonderful smile to the children who are battling cancer. Your simple gesture can make their day happier and their treatment less painful. Every time you share this gift, you are spreading light and hope in a world that so desperately needs it.
I deeply appreciate everything you do, Dr. Izzy. You are an inspiration and a true example of kindness and compassion.
I love these ideas and concepts and have written some goals down in my Journal ❤
Hi
Every word of yours is a flower, and you have everything in you, using everything in life, using simple things that certainly help many people.😍
This is the first journalling video that I have finally found that has hit the nail on the head so beautifully. Realistic, achievable and so encouraging, thank you so much!
Preach! Love centering life around the value of gratitude
I'm coming here after seeing Ali abdal post..
Same!!!
The same 😂
Me tooo😂
@@juveriyahayath3046 where are you from?
Same, I am so happy for them! 😢😊❤
Love it!
I also really love how you match your background, Izzy! Lovely blue and white shirt 💙💙
Thank you for your videos, i know of these methods, and do some on and off but it has never really stuck. This summary / overview video and reasons why we should do those journaling tasks is exactly what i need.
thank-you, for this video, this will really help. My favorite journaling video thus far, I can't wait to dig in this next year after journaling for a year already.
I have been bullet journaling for the last three months and even my friends can see the nice changes... I'm finishing my master abroad, writing my thesis and looking for jobs. and now I realized all mistakes I was making, specially in mindset and habbits, now I see the shift, absolutly reccomended. I'm already seeing the results.
I just came back from Africa Kenya after a 4 months humanitairien mission, journalying was a life saver.
Why? What happened there ?
I'm 50+ and just recently I discovered importance of journalling, yet unclear how to do.....and i stumbled on this video which is a good place to begin....yes plsss, make a bullet journalling video, would be very helpful.
Starting this journey and this video really helped me to understand the process and science behind journaling. Please make the bulletin journaling video, I think I will like this method of journaling.
I would love to see your bullet journal setup and how it helps you!
Thank you for this video, these are great tips! I've been writing more and more in my journal and I'm learning how to journal for my scientific research and work. It's becoming a very important part of my workflow. However, I hadn't realized how impactful it can be for personal life too. I want to integrate these into my journaling practice. You're a great TH-camr.
I only have one term this year, and I must complete my master's dissertation. This will be immensely beneficial for me. Many thanks.
Wonderful video about the different types of journaling! . . . Nice that you reference "Morning Pages" from 'The Artist's Way' book by Julia Cameron and "Habit Stacking" from the 'Atomic Habits' book by James Clear. . . . You're right! Gotta take action and start journaling. . . I just subscribed and will check out you're suggested links. . . Keep up the fantastic job!😁
Congratulations for your marriage. Love all the way from Kenya🇰🇪🇰🇪
Yes! Bullet Journal video please!!! Thank you so much for this video! It has motivated me to get back into journaling.
I completely agree with you. Writing it down makes it real! 👍 Keep up the great work
It's superinteresting. I never met you in my life, but I almost journal the same way 🙂This feels good. Another soulsista somewhere in the void 🙏
What a lovely, intelligent, hard-working, beautiful, natural, refreshing, ... lady she is; besides, she's a medical colleague. Well done young lady! My most sincere congratulations from lovely Mallorca 😊
I love you and the way you deliver your message. This is everything I needed rn.
Please do show us your bullet journal set up!!!!
I brain dump + gratitude with a little "I’m working on this" and "these are my dreams."
I like asking my higher self through it. Ty
Perfect timing 12:26
Been journaling for a couple of years now. It really helps. Will make a video about it too someday.
I'm loving the editing skills btw.You definitely know how to keep us engaged a thing I'm learning and looking forward to implement.Thank you for always being an inspiration to many of us
I started journaling yesterday!
I wish i started earlier, it feels so good to just let it all out on paper without worrying about how it would sound (i usually write songs)
I like your style and facts .
Please write regarding bulletin journaling love your works from Australia 🇦🇺.
I loved this video and am soooo grateful to have your content appear on my feed. I know the benefit of journaling, but it has been a long time since reaping ibenefits. Your suggestions are awesome! I commit to reengaging my bullet journal and using the advice from my higher self model. Perfect timing. I subscribed. You made my freaking day. THANK YOU!🙏
Thank you for such a sweet comment - you've made my day!! Ahh yes I loveee the higher self perspective - hope it's helpful! 🥰
I accept this challenge Dr.Izzy🤩🤩🤩
I will update the results after 3 months 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I would love a full bullet journal tour with the reasoning behind your decisions
I would, too!
1:05 "If you're new here, my name is Izzy. I am a Cambridge graduate and a doctor..." Left out: I'm very intelligent, I like to help people, I'm beautiful. I am the perfect woman. 😊
She is like Ali but italicized. ❤ Congrats on the wedding! 🥳
You have singlehandedly jumpstarted me on journalling!!! THANK YOU ❤
I'm so glad! 🥰
I really love your voice. It is so sweet and clam to listen to.
Came across your video while trying figure out ways to ease my mind these as it seems very cluttered with though due to major changes in the life events. Your video is very precise to the points I was really looking forward too. And yes I would love to see your Bullet Journal format. 💛
Loved the quote : Perfect is the enemy of good 👍
Very helpful considering I just started journaling after years of resisting it. You're right about witnessing progress in real-time or within given time snapshots. Great job Doctor! I'm most grateful for the Lord who put me here for a reason. I pray I am glorifying His name in all that I do. God bless you!
