40 | 5-Minute Journaling Technique to Ca...

LaToya Edwards | Life Coach for Highly Sensitive and Introverted Women
About this episode

In this episode, I share a simple yet powerful 5-minute journaling technique perfect for busy, highly sensitive introverts who need to manage overwhelming thoughts and emotions. 

I walk you through my brain-dump method: find a quiet space, set a timer, and write everything on your mind without censoring. For those with extra time, I explain how to analyze your entries by marking emotions, recurring thoughts, and unresolved questions. 

I'll show you how this quick practice can clear mental fog and create emotional clarity, even if you only have five minutes to spare.
