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.
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 😊
@@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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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! 😊❤
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 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!
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 ❤
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 ❤
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.
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).
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 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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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 ❤
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.
hi dr. sealey, i love this video so much. this is my first of yours! just so you know, i paid 200 dollars for a leadership seminar that taught me this... all this time i could've watched your channel and i wouldnt have had to pay that much money for it! I learned so much and will definitely work on my journaling this 2025. You're correct - my limiting beliefs have hindered me from pursuing the things that I want to do. I love this, thank you!!
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.
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!
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
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.
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)
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 ❤
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! 💛
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.
How awesome! I am learning so much with this video! Thank you❤I am so happy to find your channel. I did not come over here from Ali Abdaal’s channel. Although I have followed Ali for years! We are blessed that the Abdaal and Sealey influences is a double dose of awesomeness. Now I have two channels that actually gives me two perspectives of my goals. Thank you so much!!!❤
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… 🤔
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.
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.
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 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.
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!
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!🙏
Congratulations on your life events ❤ I would sooo love to see your bullet journal setup. Loved the way you explained this. This video along with The Bullet Journal Method book is slowly helping me. Thank you !! 😊
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
Thank you very much for creating this video. I have a very nice time journaling through the day and I believe that every day we are creating something that's interesting or everyday lives when we are able to write a little bit more about the things that are happening in the things that are possible.
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.
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 👍
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
Dr.Izzey. enjoyed listening to you. Have been thinking about journaling for some time but never knew how to get started. Hopefully will get off the ground. Will listen to more of you yo get motivated.
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.
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.
Love the video! Im actually in Alis year long prod program and has started to really kinda reflect more... He/they have several reflection options so everyone can join one, and I have actually found my own "system", I plan for the week, then I join the reflection meeting on Friday night... to see whats done and whats left, that gives me two days to work on the stuff left to do and then I join "the same"/second reflection session on Sundays and hopefully that will make me more productive. Love the stuff in this video, I will use stuff you talk about!
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!😁
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. 😊
Izzy! You are a doctor and gorgeous beyond measure. Curious to know why you were so hard on yourself. There are very rare individuals who have such beauty and brains combination. You are so blessed. Your voice is super soothing too. Are you real? Haha you are, tell Ali to pinch himself for being so lucky to have you and I hope he gives you the care and love you deserve
Well done, Izzy! Very comprehensive and clearly based on lots of research. A lot of great content that resonates from much of my own experience. Thank you. For me, it's coming at me pretty fast, so I feel like I need to keep my hand ready to create a lot to comprehend and reflect on what you've said.
wow! such an awesome video, i've been taking notes along the way and replaying sections of this video. I didn't catch everything and will have to watch it 50x more. thanks so much for this! new sub to your channel!
Hi Dr Izzy I was wondering about the side effects of often crying, if letting your emotions loose for a little bit every day has a positive or negative effect on your self. This is a habit of mine and after crying I often feel like have completed some section of my day but I don’t know if it a healthy habit or not. Love your videos and you continue to make my life better ❤❤❤
Very interesting.....I enjoy how you included the opposite examples to success in this presentation...well done. 9:07...I love the Gratitude journaling ( meditation / prayer ). 13:48..Yesss , Would like it very Much , if you made a Detailed video on your Bullet journal system , the Why's , the How's , and the results.

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.
Dr. Izzy, thank you. Journaling is powerful, I wish to be more consistent. Love your energy, smile, and you are a blessing...
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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 ❤
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.
hi dr. sealey, i love this video so much. this is my first of yours! just so you know, i paid 200 dollars for a leadership seminar that taught me this... all this time i could've watched your channel and i wouldnt have had to pay that much money for it! I learned so much and will definitely work on my journaling this 2025. You're correct - my limiting beliefs have hindered me from pursuing the things that I want to do. I love this, thank you!!
Congratulations on your marriage🎉❤ from Japan🇯🇵
I’m Japanese 😊from US. ❤
When Ruri said that you are like a meditation, I approved it. Thanks for every single piece of advice. Looking forward to more videos.
Thank you for explaining the life cycle of how we form our life events.
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.
YES to the Bullet Journal! I had to jump down here before the video ended. I love my Bullet Journal! Also love this video! thank you So Much!
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!! :) ❤
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
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.
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)
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 ❤
Please make a bullet journaling video 💕 would love to see how you set it up!
Thanks Dr Izzy from Aleppo ,Syria 🇸🇾🇸🇾
Your videos are so helpful & amazing ...Best of luck &keep going
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! 💛
❤❤
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.
How awesome! I am learning so much with this video! Thank you❤I am so happy to find your channel. I did not come over here from Ali Abdaal’s channel. Although I have followed Ali for years! We are blessed that the Abdaal and Sealey influences is a double dose of awesomeness. Now I have two channels that actually gives me two perspectives of my goals. Thank you so much!!!❤
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… 🤔
Please make a full video of your bullet journaling set up!
I love these ideas and concepts and have written some goals down in my Journal ❤
Hi
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.
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.
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 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.
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!
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! 🥰
This is the only source anyone needs to begin, and eventually master the habit of, Journaling in their lives. Thank you Dr. Izzy.
Love it!
I also really love how you match your background, Izzy! Lovely blue and white shirt 💙💙
Preach! Love centering life around the value of gratitude
Congratulations on your life events ❤ I would sooo love to see your bullet journal setup. Loved the way you explained this. This video along with The Bullet Journal Method book is slowly helping me. Thank you !! 😊
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
These practices are going to be more instrumental in my life than ever! Thanks, Izzy!
Thank you very much for creating this video. I have a very nice time journaling through the day and I believe that every day we are creating something that's interesting or everyday lives when we are able to write a little bit more about the things that are happening in the things that are possible.
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.
Love your presentation I am journaling since 4 years and yes I love doing it it's magical and life changing
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 👍
I completely agree with you. Writing it down makes it real! 👍 Keep up the great work
I only have one term this year, and I must complete my master's dissertation. This will be immensely beneficial for me. Many thanks.
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! :) ❤
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
Dr.Izzey. enjoyed listening to you. Have been thinking about journaling for some time but never knew how to get started. Hopefully will get off the ground. Will listen to more of you yo get motivated.
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.😍
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.
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.
Love the video! Im actually in Alis year long prod program and has started to really kinda reflect more... He/they have several reflection options so everyone can join one, and I have actually found my own "system", I plan for the week, then I join the reflection meeting on Friday night... to see whats done and whats left, that gives me two days to work on the stuff left to do and then I join "the same"/second reflection session on Sundays and hopefully that will make me more productive. Love the stuff in this video, I will use stuff you talk about!
Here after Ali's post. 🎉 Congratulations 👏🏽🎉
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!😁
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. 😊

Hello! I was so looking forward to the bullet journaling part...hope you can make a video about that soon! Thank you 🙏❤️
Hi Dr Izzy
I was wondering about the side effects of often crying, if letting your emotions loose for a little bit every day has a positive or negative effect on your self. This is a habit of mine and after crying I often feel like have completed some section of my day but I don’t know if it a healthy habit or not.
Love your videos and you continue to make my life better ❤❤❤
Very interesting.....I enjoy how you included the opposite examples to success in this presentation...well done.
9:07...I love the Gratitude journaling ( meditation / prayer ).
13:48..Yesss , Would like it very Much , if you made a Detailed video on your Bullet journal system , the Why's , the How's , and the results. Thank you .
