this video will show you how to use the law of attraction with journaling to
finally attract what you want welcome back to another video my name is Erin
and I help people expand their consciousness now in this video we're
going to be speaking specifically about how to use the power of journaling to
really attract what we want now normally I could make this video I could share
some of the things that I know and this is a question honestly I've had quite a
bit on the channel is how can we use journaling with law of attraction but
what I thought I would do instead is bring on my buddy Clark Kegley who has a
great YouTube channel he is mainly focused with the personal development
niche more so than anything else but he has a great perspective when it comes to
the law of attraction and more specifically he has some great videos on
understanding how to use journaling so what I thought I would do is bring him
onto the channel have him explain how we can use journaling with the law of
attraction just to give you guys that much more value because I think a lot of
the concepts he's going to share with you really have a powerful impact on
your life and especially when it comes to journaling so I'm gonna go ahead and
link Clark's channel down below in case you guys want to check out his content
over there he's got some great content and then I'm gonna bring on and
introduce my buddy Clark Kegley right now who's gonna show and share some epic
content with you guys please much love namaste
hey thanks for the intro Aaron we'll try our best to make this as epic and fun as
possible hey everyone I'm Clark from refusing to settle calm I also have a
youtube channel and today Aaron asked me to come on and talk about something that
I think is one of the coolest things out there now I might be biased cuz I've
been doing this system for about six or seven years but it's been the one thing
that's really stuck it's been the one thing that's bridge the gap between all
this self growth stuff we read about and if you're on this channel I know you're
into the law of attraction and bettering yourself and the actual action component
I really think it's the missing link what is it it's a method of keeping a
journal now what I just said that I bet a lot of things went through your mind
you know some people think of journaling and they think of
keeping a diary write something that you know back in the day you would write
about I kissed a guy or I kissed a girl and hide it under your mattress and God
hope your older brother doesn't find it to make fun of you right that's not what
we're doing at all other people here would journal and they think it's stiff
and boring and something crazy cat ladies do when on a rainy day that's not
what it is at all in fact I'm going to argue that it's one of the best tools
you can use to transform any area of your life and it goes hand-in-hand with
the law of attraction and bridges the gap between attracting and doing so I
got a video on that for you and then at the end I'm actually gonna open up my
personal journal and walk you through kind of inside my lines how I'm doing it
so you can set up and get started directly after this video if you want to
do but before we get into that let's talk about why we should even journal
what are those benefits I promised you and the epic content in this video and
what it actually looks like and then I'll show you the how so why should we
journal well the first thing is that it's a tool would you diet without
exercising to lose weight yeah you could but when they are paired together they
work so much better would you have a relationship with no quality time with
that person you could but if you pair them together it works a lot better
would you have a business with no plan or goals or results you could but when
they're paired together it works better all these methods that go and tandem
with each other so would you have personal growth success goals without a
method to track it pair them together and that's what your journal is it's the
tool that glues everything together second reason why we should journal is
because it's a way you can coach yourself get this over the last decade
the self improvement industry has grown to over 10 billion dollars seminars cost
two three four thousand dollars even some online courses are charging that
much there's life coaches who charge for five hundred dollars an hour two fifty
now or whatever it is but what if you could coach yourself
what if you could become your own what a journal is is it's a way you can
do this it's a way you can stay motivated with yourself and coach
yourself on your goals which I'll show you in a little bit
it's a tracker now I'm not saying you'll never need to read another book again
I'm not saying can't go to seminars or even higher life coaches or whatever you
want to do what I am saying is that this is a great way you can kind of be your
own coach and track your own progress now I never thought I'd be the journal
dude on YouTube talking about keeping the journal but it blew me away when I
posted the first video on this and it got over 200,000 views and I created
more videos because people demanded it they said Clark we want more journal
content and so over half a million people have seen the journal series on
our YouTube channel and I get emails and photos every day of people using this
method that I'm gonna share with you and how its transformed their life how it's
change their life people started reporting that they had more confidence
that their mental focus really honed in and that they you know they had all
these affirmations and they felt kind of like they were coming out of thin air
and they had no way to apply it and then when they were able to incorporate the
the journaling method that it all started clicking things fell into place
over time the last reason why we should keep a journal success leaves Clues
that's a quote by Jim Rohn if you want to be a successful writer we'd probably
read our favorite authors writing style and model after how they wrote their
books we want to be a successful golfer we'd probably watch Tiger Woods and see
how he swung the ball see where it went see his rituals well if we want to be a
successful person wouldn't it make sense to model after the most successful
people of all time yeah would get this people who have kept journals throughout
history Oprah Gandhi mother Teresa Einstein even modern-day billionaires
like Warren Buffett Bill Gates they've all kept journals they knew the power of
it I think it was Bill Gates who even bought eight pages of Leonardo da
Vinci's journal for like thirty point eight million dollars 20 years ago or
something like that so there's so much power
in this tool system that's been used throughout all of time success leaves
clues if we want to be successful we can try some of the methods that these
people have used over time to become successful themselves so what is this
method so what I want to do now is turn this camera around go over to my desk
and actually walk through this journal with you and kind of break down what's
what this journal will look like and how you can actually start using it every
single day let's do that right now okay so welcome here's the walkthrough
I'm going to show you right now this is my 2017 journal but I have been doing
this for many years there's my 2013 journal 2014 journal
2016 journal and 2015 journal a lot of people ask which ones I prefer I guess
gear wise this is a pen talaq eight and a half by 11 sketchbook I like
sketchbooks for your journal because there's no lines to stifle your
creativity and it's just really open first thing you do is you buy your
journal at 7 bucks you write your name on the spine and you write the year I
like swapping it out every single year so it's kind of a year-long log of your
well actually let's dive into it and show you the very first thing we do in
this journal is we go to this this is the cover now if this looks like a mess
let me explain right here you have you know your name and you have your big
ideas that make up you your fundamentals what you what you are right here I have
my strengths Martin Solomon was a founder of authentic happiness studied
thousands and thousands of people because he's like hey why is it that
we're so good at studying depressed people and what makes them up to
baseline but when it comes to taking baseline people and making them happy we
don't really have any research and so he distilled down everything into one
sentence know your strengths and use them often that if you can use your
strengths in service to the world or yourself you're gonna be fulfilled
you're gonna be happy now I was in Alaska and there were sled dogs who are
running and they just got ran for like ten miles out of time
they were super super happy some of the happiest dogs I ever saw because they
were getting used they were getting worked to their strengths so I think
it's the same thing with us but you have to know what your strengths are
twenty-three thousand seven hundred and twenty five now this comes from a
concept on my channel have thirty-two thousand eight hundred and fifty guess
what that number is that is the amount of days you have from birth until 90
years old that's a lot less than we thought huh
you know if you had a dollar for every day you lived you'd only have about
thirty two thousand bucks it's not very much so we got to maximize those days
there they're less than we thought so I like to write that there it's not more
but it just keeps me in focus and in check that you know I only got twenty
three thousand days left or something all right so that's just an example of
what you do on the front cover basically whatever you want to see boom and
constantly be reminded of similar to like a vision board if you're familiar
with that concept you'd write it here and then right here the next front page
are a bunch of quotes I like to live by our big lessons I've learned throughout
the year so manager energy not your time you know
I commit to giving value before a single dollar exchanges hands just business
stuff one of my favorite quotes I saw the angel in the marble and are carved
until I set him free Michelangelo on the Statue of David you know so just
big-picture stuff right here any quotes you have so we'll get into the meat of
the journal in a little bit but it's really cool this tracking system I want
to show you so let's go to the back cover now now if this looks like an
absolute mess I promise to you it makes sense so at the beginning of the year I
like setting goals in January when I swap out this journal in three areas
work rest and play a lot of people have really complex goal-setting processes
and seminars and all that stuff I mean this kind of looks more complex than it
is I promise but you want your goals in the back of your journal so you can
always track them throughout the year and check them off now you don't have to
set year-long goals these can be month long goals week long goals half-year
goals whatever and constantly track them track them so the concept of work rest
play is kind of like a triangle you know if you
too much work and not enough rest you're gonna burn yourself out if you have too
much playing not enough work you're gonna be bored if you have too much rest
without enough work you're just gonna be a sloth so life is right there in the
middle it's in the balance you need all three of these goals right here now your
work goals these are your business your wealth any sort of numbers analytical
stuff you want to do put it up here your rest goals these are personal goals
things that you want to achieve maybe in your health maybe in your learning maybe
what you want how you want to grow as a person that's right there and then your
play goals this is fun stuff this is contribution travel adventure you know I
went on a trip around the world with my girlfriend I saved up for went to like
nine countries and seven weeks and 49 days a trip of a lifetime
and it was because we planned it in this journal right here and then I have a
book list of things that books I want to read just set your goals in three areas
and keep them tracked in the back of this journal over here it's not too
important it's just challenges and courses that I wanted to take this year
let's get into the meat of the journal so what do you actually write in this in
this section right here now it's about a hundred pages and this is where I call
it the six in one journaling method so I felt like turning the camera around and
talking to you a little background on what I'm about to show you the meat of
the journal I remember I was in college about seven years ago and I was just
getting into self-development really extensively you know I was watching the
TED Talks I was going to seminars I was researching I was obsessed with it and I
had a health journal to write all the health stuff down and then I had a
vision board and affirmations and visualizations that aren't write down in
gratitude journals that had some psychology journals where I'd learned
these big ideas and gets so inspired and want to write them down and I had like
five or six different journals and it hit me one day why don't I just combined
all of these into one journal why don't I just divide up one journal into six
sections it's so much more manageable there's so much more sustainable and
it's all right there now what I'm about to show you you do not
to do okay remember one thing I always tell people who send me emails about the
system and everything is they're so stressed out about it they say okay how
much do I need a journal everyday how much do I need to write what do I write
they have all these questions there's no right answer it's completely custom to
you if you want a journal once a week totally fine
some months if you don't want a journal totally fine if you want to journal
every single date incorporate it into your ritual or for every morning that's
great it's whatever you want out of it don't
stress yourself out with this journaling because that's gonna make you resent it
that's gonna make you not want to do it it's gonna turn it into a chore it
should always be from a place of inspiration and not a place of
obligation that's what I always say all right stepping off the soapbox back into
the journal what is it choose six sections that are important to you and
take about 20 pages or so and divide your journal up into that and keep six
in one journals so for example in this I have a gratitude section where I write
all my gratitude journal affirmations okay that's one section I have a
business section where I have all my business goals
that's another section I have a book notes section where anything that really
sticks out to me when I'm reading the book I put in that section you know or
or as I'm reading the book something I would highlight I would put in that
journal right there and then you can go through year after year and see all the
books you read condensed into like one page or half a page how powerful is that
I should be the goals tracker I showed you the front covers I have a video and
online notes section so if I'm learning from videos like this I love YouTube
videos I'll write that in my journal in a section so it doesn't get confused
with the other ones you might have a finance section if you want to get
control of your finances and track things great put them in there you might
have a health section where you track your health and wellness and really you
know if you're researching it if you're student of health and wellness great put
it in there and and start researching it and putting all your big ideas in there
whatever it is there's no right or wrong here it's custom tailored to you now
I'll flip this camera around and walk you through a sample page or kind of
inside my mind a little bit before we wrap this video up just
so you have some more grounds to stand on when you take action of this so
here's an example so I like to again allocate about 20 or so pages six
sections is a good place to start five is okay too and this is my growth
section so I call it business so what do I want to achieve in my business I set
all my business goals in here and I track them I said all the information I
learn about my business in here and I track them when I get an exercise from a
seminar or a book I do it in this section and then I can flip to it
automatically and it's right here here's just a quarter page on four books that I
really liked just some big ideas from them so here the one thing the concept
of Domino's that you know it can knock over something that's 50% larger and
that's what momentum is and so Domino's you know if you stack them stack them
stack them there's really no limits to how much bigger you can get them cool
concept that when I flip back to I'm like wow I can really use that in in my
life or the five love languages you know what they are to revisit them public
speaking talk like Ted stumbling on happiness
so just quarter pages for each book and you write down some big ideas so now I
can flip to them instead of reading the book again and being like wow what was
that again you can just come here and and do it right there are seven Habits
of Highly Effective People another entry on it right here and so you just write
notes from the book pretty self-explanatory but it's definitely
powerful okay here's a section I did and I don't use it much anymore it's called
a brain dump need to fill in those letters there and this is where you know
it's easy to be positive when things are going our way but how do we show up when
things are hard when life really you know shit hits the fan and life doesn't
180 on us here's a good spot that you can go to and just vent so I have about
ten or so pages of where I just vent if I need to get it off my chest because
you know the more you hold it in sometimes that's worse that's like
that's like holding your breath and your blood pressure goes up when you're
working out you can actually get injured that way
it's the same thing with like negative events you know if we hold it in and we
clench our fists and we get so caught up in it our blood pressure goes up
psychologically for not even just days but weeks and months you know that's
some people carry around things their whole life so this is a great place you
can just vent and you don't want to do it too much right because then it turns
negative but years later you can flip back on some of your old journals look
through the things that used to make you angry and laugh at the problem instead
of getting mad at it you know you can actually see how much you've grown and
what problems used to stress you out and and and that they're not stressful
anymore that's it I hope this video was helpful at a blast sharing this method
