Have you ever felt like your mind is stuck on repeat, replaying the same worries or frustrations over and over? Here’s the truth: it’s not just the thoughts themselves holding you back—it’s the patterns behind them. Those thought loops keep you stuck, but they don’t have to. Journaling can help you break free, but it takes more than just putting your thoughts on paper. It’s about recognizing the patterns and learning how to shift them. In this conversation we're discussing: 1. What are thought patterns 2. 4 ways to discover thought patterns in our writing 3. 5 common thought patterns to look for 4. Why understanding your thought patterns matter . I hope this resonates with you in some way. Take what you need, and take good care. Support The Journal Coaching Podcast: Rate this podcast.
