Feelings Follow Intentions

Engaging in reverse journaling helps individuals set a positive intention for their day by reflecting on how they want to feel by the end of it. This proactive approach contrasts with reactive journaling, where individuals focus on actions they regret after the day has passed. Initiating the day with a clear emotional goal empowers people to consciously steer their actions toward achieving that desired feeling. By doing so, individuals can prevent feelings from overwhelming them before they even begin their day, leading to more intentional and fulfilling experiences.
