The Body Signals Journal:A Simple Tool to Start Listening to Your Body
Have you ever felt like your body is trying to tell you something… but you're not quite sure what?
Maybe you're dealing with brain fog, weird cravings, low energy, or emotional swings that don’t seem to make sense. And maybe, like so many of us, you’ve learned to ignore or power through it—because that’s what we were taught to do.
But here’s the truth:
- Your body is always speaking.
- We just have to slow down enough to listen.
I developed a pattern when my children were young to question them regarding their health. When a complaint began, there were often questions regarding what they had done different, and what had they done to solve the issue. This created an open dialogue to discuss health (physical and/or mental), which eventually brought them a greater awareness of their wellness patterns, as well as a natural inclination to take charge of their health from a younger age than usual.
A Simple Place to Start:
This isn’t complicated. You don’t need a fancy app or expensive tracker. Just a notebook, a pen, and 3-5 minutes a day.
For the next few days, try jotting down:
- How you slept - maybe include how many hours (at least 7 hours is ideal)
- Your energy levels throughout the day (any slumps or highs)
- Any cravings (sweet, salty, caffeine, etc.)
- Your mood or emotions
- Anything that felt "off" or different in your body
That’s it.
You don’t need to analyze or judge it at first — just notice.

Why It Matters
When you write these little things down, patterns start to emerge.
You might realize that certain foods drain your energy… or that poor sleep is the real trigger behind your cravings.

This kind of journaling helps you move from reacting to responding—with awareness, compassion, and clarity.
It’s not about perfection.
It’s about starting to tune in.

And when you do, you begin to make small, empowered shifts that lead to real change.
