Journaling or journal speak is it slows down your mind because you can't write or type as fast as the brain can think. And now a word from our sponsor, Betterhelp, before we hear from Christy.
Ever tried to pour your heart out on paper without worrying about grammar or spelling? In this episode of Recovery Elevator, Paul Churchill introduces 'journal speak,' a raw and unfiltered journaling technique designed to help you connect with your deepest emotions. It's not about crafting perfect sentences but about releasing those pent-up feelings that can drive you towards alcohol.
Paul suggests dedicating just five minutes in the morning and evening to jot down whatever comes to mind, then tossing or burning the pages afterward. This practice can be a game-changer for anyone looking to clear their mind and manage cravings. Joining Paul is Christy, a 42-year-old from Denmark who has been sober since April 2022. She shares her journey from North Carolina to Europe and how journal speak has played a role in her recovery.
As an agile coach in IT and a mother of two, Christy offers a relatable perspective on balancing life's demands while staying committed to sobriety. The episode dives into the benefits of informal journaling, like feeling less alone and more connected to yourself. Paul and Christy also touch on the importance of support systems and other recovery resources.
Whether you're new to sobriety or looking for fresh ways to handle your emotions, this episode provides practical advice and inspiring stories that can help you navigate your journey. Tune in to discover how a simple journaling practice can make a big difference in your life. You might just find that writing without rules is the key to unlocking a calmer, more connected you.
