Today on the show, Cam shares how&nbsp;<span class=\"il\">journaling<\/span>&nbsp;transformed his life and what it can do for yours. We discuss why it&#8217;s helpful to do a&nbsp;<span class=\"il\">journaling<\/span>&nbsp;brain dump and how to then move beyond that to incorporate&nbsp;different&nbsp;<wbr \/>techniques that will help you get greater insight into the problems you&#8217;re facing and how to solve them. We unpack those techniques, which include how to journal to break mindset, conduct a lifestyle and habits audit, and quell anxiety. We also talk about an experiment Cam did where he only used the social media apps on his phone when he was posting something, and every time he got the itch to check social media for fun, he engaged in something he calls &#8220;microjournaling&#8221; instead. We end our conversation with how Cam&#8217;s&nbsp;<span class=\"il\">journaling<\/span>&nbsp;changed after he became a dad and his tips on making&nbsp;<span class=\"il\">journaling<\/span>&nbsp;a consistent habit in your life.<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2>Resources Related to the Episode<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dArgOrm98Bk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"
