In this episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast, I discuss something I recently noticed about my journal practice that I'd never considered before.

The reason I started thinking about all this was that I saw a post on social media titled "How Journaling Actually Works." It suggested that people get journaling wrong by recording events like a diary rather than finding the meaning in them. It caught my attention because it was the opposite of what I've found to be true.

Since 2021, I've been answering the same four questions most mornings:
What did I do yesterday?
What was the best thing that happened yesterday?
What are today's news headlines?
What are my plans for today?

So, why do I ask myself such mundane questions each morning?
