Don't Overcomplicate It
@drsiphomorrison

People overcomplicate self-reflection.

Especially when journaling.

Instead, try these 3 simple steps:

  Step 1: 📽 Open your video on your phone and press record

  Step 2: 💡 Answer these 4 questions:

  • Did I do my best today to be happy today?

  • Did I do my best today to provide meaning today?

  • Did I do my best to provide progress towards my goals today?

  • Did I do my best to build positive relationships today?

Step 3:  🛑 Stop recording

I have been journaling every day for over 3 years exactly like this, with (so far) +1,000 short videos < 1 minute.

I am pretty sure it was Jim Rohn who said something like, ‘when you die, the only things you leave behind are your diary and some pictures.

❓What are you leaving behind?
