Checking in with your feelings -- being aware of what’s alive inside you -- is the Ground Zero for living a life of passion, clarity and purpose. In this episode, I interview Jim Kleiber (http://www.jimkleiber.com/), a leader in helping people do just that.

Jim has quite a few inspiring stories to share, and when you hear him speak, you'll likely notice the power of authenticity that he exudes. Jim trained himself to routinely acknowledge his own emotions using an app he designed for himself, called iFeelio (http://www.ifeelio.com/). By mastering that one simple skill, he has learned so much about himself and his own world, that now he’s being invited, literally, all over the planet, teaching the art of emotional self-defense (http://www.emotionalselfdefense.org/), helping people of many nations sew together the threads in the fabric of world peace.

You may know I manage two websites, Write4Life.com (http://Write4Life.com) is about tips and techniques for journal-writing, and EasyJournaling.com (http://EasyJournaling.com) shares the electronic tools of the trade. I enjoy teaching best practices with journaling apps for your desktop computer, tablet, or even smartphone. Although iFeelio (http://www.ifeelio.com/) is not exactly a journal-writing app, I've never seen a more clever tool for recording your feelings. It asks two simple questions: "What am I feeling, in this moment right now?" And, "What’s happening?" In thirty seconds (or less), you can compose a complete journal entry.

(http://www.write4life.us/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/iFeelio_App-169x300.png)I recommend giving it a try, especially if you are one of those people with absolutely NO TIME for keeping a journal, and yet you're smart and aware enough to understand the value of “checking in” with yourself on a frequent basis. (JournalTalk, Episode #57, June 30, 2015)
