A short spoken excerpt from Louis Massaro (YouTube video) encouraging journaling and self-reflection to 'get clear on your thinking.' He advises identifying and writing down bothersome thoughts, dissecting them, and challenging whether obstacles are external or cognitive. The passage frames journaling as a practical tool to address negative emotions and improve perspective.
Getting clear on my thinking. Getting clear on my thinking. And that journaling process is part of that, right? And challenging myself, like, is this the obstacle or is it just the way that I'm thinking about the situation? Right? If I'm finding myself in a negative place, I'm just feeling annoyed by everybody. Things are just, you know, it just doesn't feel good. What is it? I stop. What is it that's causing me to feel this way? What's bothering me here, Right? If there's something bothering me, I grab it, right? We gotta grab the thoughts and we've gotta put em down somewhere and we've gotta start dissecting them, right? So getting clear on your thinking is gonna help you with everything, right?
