This week on the podcast I am joined by the co-founder of The Yogis Journal, Matt Kowald. Matt joined me all the way from Ontario, Canada, although you'll hear right away in the podcast that Matt is originally from Australia.  On this episode of the podcast we talk about where the idea for The Yogis Journal came from and what the process for creating a journal was like. We also talk about creating new, positive habits and how to create habits that will last in the long term, not just the short term. Matt shares how to create a successful morning and evening routine, as well as tips for breaking bad habits that aren't serving you anymore. Finally, Matt talks about the power of a daily journaling habit and how The Yogis Journal can help yoga teachers build a daily journaling habit!  Enjoy!
