The science based journaling guide that drags your thoughts out of the panic zone and into the part of your brain that can actually help you.
This guide explains exactly why journaling works on your brain and why writing by hand shifts your thinking faster than typing ever will. You learn how your amygdala acts like a frantic alarm system and how journaling moves that chaos into the prefrontal cortex where logic, calm, and perspective actually live.
You get a clear explanation of how writing slows your system down, boosts awareness, improves emotional processing, increases retention, and helps your brain organize your experience instead of spiraling. Then you get over one hundred prompts designed to interrupt loops, pull truth forward, and help you create the kind of insight that actually leads to change.

FAQs
Do I really have to hand write?

Is this therapy?
Absolutely not. No products from Your Mind Is Full of Shift should ever be considered as or used as a substitute for therapy. I'll be the first person to tell you that if you *think* you need to see a licensed therapist then you should. They'll tell you if it's not warranted. These products are a compliment to therapy - and goes great when used in a session! This product is psychological, pattern-based self work. It uses grounded clinical principles without pretending to be therapy.
Does this require a ton of time?
No. Many prompts work in under a minute, because they work to bypass overthinking.
Will this help if I don't know what I want or need?
Yes. This is intended to help you gain clarity.
