A December Reset: Why This Month Is the Perfect Time to Start Journaling

On this episode of The Journaling Guy Podcast, I'm talking about why December is the perfect time to start Journaling.

December gets a bit of a bad reputation. It’s either “the most magical time of the year”… or an emotional obstacle course. So, to help convince you that December is actually a great time of the year to start Journaling, here are three prompts for you.

Three Things to Journal About This Month

1. “What actually mattered this year?” - Not the goals you set in a burst of January optimism. The stuff that genuinely made life a little better.

2. “Where did I feel most like myself?” - Moments of honesty, calm, flow, or weird joy. These become signposts for next year.

3. “What am I carrying that I don’t want to bring into the new year?” - Old frustrations, outdated expectations, emotional clutter. Journaling is a brilliant place to put down the things you’re tired of holding.

If that feels like too much, why not just start Journaling today with this: Write for 5 minutes on this: “What surprised me about myself this year?” - Surprises reveal truths you didn’t see coming.

Please get in touch with any questions and of course, your feedback too. Email - hello@thejournalingguy.com

If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with someone who might need a bit of space to think.

Always remember... "keep writing and keep showing up for yourself", Matt.
