The Questions You'll Wish You Asked Yourself journal serves as a portal between you and your wise inner guide.
The mixture of light-hearted and meaningful inquiries will help you:
- Understand your past with a new lens
- Define and live in-alignment your values
- Chart your future with intention and trust
- Feel more purpose, serenity, and peace in the present
Rather than simply helping you to "know more" about yourself and your history, the journal also includes free breathwork and meditation tracks to deepen your healing experience. These practices integrate actual healing and release within the body - where anxiety, stress, and trauma are stored.
What if I'm not a good writer?
You do not have to be a good writer to find healing through journaling. Trying to write well is not the point - the prompts are designed to provide personal healing, not create a record for others - so relax and get messy within the pages.
Do I need to fill the journal out in any particular order?
These prompts can be done in whichever order feels right - use the table of contents (organized into sections such as "identifying your values" or "your younger self") to decide where to focus that day.
What if I've never done breathwork?
Whether you're a breathwork beginner or a long-time practitioner, these tracks will deepen your experience with self-inquiry (there's no amount of experience necessary.)
What if I just want to journal - do I have to do the meditations and breathwork?
Nope! The prompts can provide tremendous understanding, awareness, and realizations on their own. It's all self-guided and there's no wrong way to use the journal (except to not start.)
Who is this journal for?
- Those on a healing journey
- People who want to better understand themselves through writing (including those who want to record memories.)
- People who tend to live in their heads but long to integrate all they've learned about themselves into actual release and healing
- Those tired of circling the same issues repeatedly (people ready to finally release stuff and not just become aware of it.)
- Cycle breakers and intergenerational healers
- People longing for more self-love and self-compassion
- People who want tools to use for everyday clarity and intentional living
- Those who struggle with anxiety, overthinking, or feeling stuck
- Highly Sensitive People who feel things more deeply than others - they deeply examine life, meaning, and purpose, but want to balance that with being present to the life and people in front of them
If you're ready to understand yourself on a new level, heal intergenerational stories and patterns, and live the true and beautiful life you know is possible, the Questions You'll Wish You Asked Yourself journal is your next right thing. These questions will deepen the most important relationship you'll ever have: the one with yourself.
