Milo Session #05: Journaling for Emotional Clarity
When the world is noisy and fast-paced, journaling creates a quiet pocket to just be. For leaders, it’s not only therapeutic—it’s strategic. Writing helps untangle emotional knots, clarify decisions, and access insight that’s often buried beneath busyness.
🖋️ Why Journaling Works
- Externalizes thoughts so they stop looping in your head
- Helps you name feelings instead of being consumed by them
- Creates space between stimulus and response
- Promotes creativity, self-trust, and emotional processing
No need to write perfectly. No grammar checks. Just honesty.
🧭 Journaling Frameworks to Try
1. The 3-Line Daily Journal
- Today, I noticed…
- I felt…
- I need…
2. Situation – Emotion – Learning – Action (SELA)
- What happened?
- What did I feel?
- What did I learn about myself?
- What do I want to do next time?
🪞Prompts for Emotional Clarity
- “What emotion keeps showing up lately—and what might it be trying to tell me?”
- “Where in my leadership do I feel most misaligned right now?”
- “What’s one thing I haven’t said out loud—but need to write down?”
- “How do I want to feel going into next week? What needs to shift for that to happen?”
🕯️ Tips for Getting Started
- Choose a quiet space or time of day you can stick to
- Use pen and paper if possible—digital is fine, but handwriting slows you down
- Set a timer for 5–15 minutes. No pressure to write more than that
- Let go of “doing it right”—just begin
🛋️ Your journal is your private leadership lab. A mirror. A sounding board. A safe place to reset.
