Summary

We’ve spoken about the power of journaling on the podcast before, but how many of you are doing it every day?

In just five minutes in the morning, we can supercharge our minds to achieve happiness throughout the day. Journaling is a powerful and practical way to focus our minds for the day, seek gratitude, transform our lives and achieve our goals.

Today’s guests are entrepreneurs Alex and Mimi Ikonn, founders of Intelligent Change and the Five Minute Journal. They have helped thousands of people around the world build the habit of journaling and made the habit accessible and sustainable. They’re here to tell us how we can get the same effectiveness from journaling for five minutes a day that we would only otherwise get from working for 1-2 hours.

In this conversation, we delve into the inspiration behind the Five Minute Journal, explain the power of gratitude, and give you a quick routine you can use every morning to supercharge your brain. We’ll give you some reflections you can use in your evenings too, and go over why building a journaling habit will completely transform your life.
