Episode 63: Why Irregular Journaling Counts (The Myth of Consistency)

Let me start today by saying something that might surprise you — especially coming from someone who hosts a journaling podcast:

You do not need to journal consistently for it to “count.”

If you are someone who journals for a few days… then stops… then comes back… then disappears again…

This episode is for you.

If you’ve ever thought:

• “I always fall off.”
• “I can never stay consistent.”
• “What’s the point if I don’t keep it up?”

I want you to take a breath — because today we are officially dismantling the myth of consistency.

And we’re replacing it with something much kinder. Something truer. Something that actually works.

Prompt 1: Releasing the Rule

What rules have I unknowingly placed on journaling?

Let them be seen without fixing them.

Prompt 2: Honoring the Rhythm

When has journaling supported me most in the past — and why then?

Look for patterns, not perfection.

Prompt 3: Awareness Check

What has journaling helped me notice or change, even when I wasn’t consistent?

This builds evidence of value without pressure.

Prompt 4: Nervous System Permission

What does my body need more of right now — reflection, rest, or living?

All three are valid.

Prompt 5: A New Definition

If journaling were allowed to ebb and flow, how would I like to relate to it?

Let this answer be gentle and flexible.
