Bonjour, everyone, and welcome to another episode of The French Weigh with your host, Karen Gombault. Today’s episode is a special one as I’m greeting you from my brand-new office in the picturesque southern France. It's been quite a journey settling in, but I’m thrilled to return to our podcasting routine with fresh insights and a beautiful new backdrop.
In this episode, we’re diving into a topic that has been incredibly transformative for both my life and the lives of many of my clients—journaling. We'll discuss how this simple yet powerful practice ties into my coaching philosophy of Positive Intelligence. Positive Intelligence (coaching based on the work of Shirzad Chamine) revolves around understanding our saboteurs—the negative voices in our heads—and harnessing our sage powers like empathy, curiosity, innovation, and more.
I'll walk you through my personal journaling routine, a practice I’ve fine tuned over many years. From the morning thought download to intentional thought creation, you’ll learn how journaling can help you identify negative thoughts and replace them with empowering ones. We’ll also explore the significance of asking powerful questions and how the quality of your questions can drastically improve your mental and emotional well-being.
Whether you’re already journaling or considering starting this beneficial habit, this episode is packed with practical tips and insights to help you harness the power of your own mind. So, grab your notebook, pour yourself a coffee, and let’s uncover the impact journaling can have on your life.
“Journaling helps us recognize when our saboteurs are present and how we can switch to a sage mindset.”
