Woohoo! The first three batches of The Yellow Journal have been successfully dispatched and have been received by many already.
Now, that most of you would be starting your transformation journey or may already have begun, I wanted to share a specially curated playlist that I used while creating and testing The Yellow Journal.
But before I share that, let me ask you “Do you listen to music while journaling? Should you? Is it alright to?”
Well, I believe Music enables one’s soul to sing. It opens us to feelings and emotions, and listening to it can help us get into that zone of deep concentration and reflection.
When it comes to whether or not to listen to music while journaling, my usual advice is to do whatever works for you. For me, music without words helps create an ambiance and pour my heart out, resulting in feeling calm and relaxed. But you do you.
