Welcome to Feel Better, Live More Bite-size, your weekly dose of positivity and optimism to get you ready for the weekend. Today's clip is from episode 413 of the podcast, which was a solo episode where I outlined the transformative power. of journaling. Now, I've been recommending journaling to many of my patients over the years, but have also experienced the numerous benefits in my own life as well. In this clip, I share how you can get started really easily by asking yourself three powerful questions every single morning.

So many patients tell me that life just feels like a blur because of the pressures that so many of us face, the busyness, the overwhelm, the endless to-do list. I've heard it time and time again. Why haven't things changed? Why can't I bring these healthy habits into my life and make them stick?

I've been a medical doctor for over two decades and I have to say one of the most transformative practices I have ever seen is the practice of journaling. Because it breaks the loop. We have these unconscious patterns, these subconscious patterns running our lives. We don't realize how many anxieties and worries and concerns we have worrying around.
