Episode 4

In this episode Val shares that research studies have found journaling brings emotional and psychological benefits. Her most consistent Journaling was inspired by Julia Cameron and her book The Artist’s Way. From this book, Val learned how to write Morning Pages. 

Try journaling for 20 minutes a day for 30 days and take note of your stress levels before and after.

There was a time when it was difficult for Val to journal. She found Dr. Caroline Leaf’s book Switch on your Brain  and its introduction to “Neurocycles” helpful to add structure to her journaling.

Val shares a conversation with a young girl named Beatrice she met while journaling one morning at the Ronald Mc Donald house. Beatrice had learned the importance of journaling and wanted to share the message with the world. Val is so happy to finally be sharing that message with the world in this podcast!
