Do you want to discover how one of the most amazing tools you can use today to create great change your life? A tool that is inexpensive, both on the bank account and your time? This tool is simply a personal success journal.
Sadly very few of us recognise the astonishing power that using a success journal has on our future. Taking only 10-15 minutes a day to write down your achievements and your victories, or the tasks you've accomplished each day will produce amazing results. These brief 15 minutes a day have the power to transform your life.
Some may think it is baloney, or a waste of time, however evidence now proves that journaling has enabled many people to bring about enormous change and delight in their lives.
How can writing a few words in a journal create change and manifest our desires?
1. A success journal provides personal growth.
Through measuring and tracking what is important, you will become more attuned to your desires and needs, at the same time creating greater awareness of your beliefs and options so you can change them if necessary. As you integrate the day's experiences and learnings you can then move towards wholeness and growth. And as the writer in you unfolds, your self expression will be enhanced and you achieve comfort in the freedom of expression.
2. A success journal provides motivation.
By writing down your victories and achievements you will be able to feel the progress and maintain focus on the positives in your day. As you achieve each small step, you will see that you are moving closer each day to your goal. Finding more clarity in your values, along with your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, your greater potential is revealed and you are shifted from the observer and recorder to both counselor and doer.
3. A success journal eliminates temptation.
You will feel more confident and empowered as you strengthen your sense of self. Being aware that you will be writing in your journal later in the day, you will tend to avoid temptation as you strive to be able to note more accomplishments.
4. A success journal promotes healing.
As you write your thoughts, you will find honesty, trust and be non-judgmental. Recalling and reconstructing events from the day will prove yourself as a larger, whole, important and connected being. This process acts as your own counselor and leverages therapy sessions for faster results, helping you feel better about yourself, connecting causes to effects and at the same time promoting balance and harmony in your world.
5. A success journal simplifies your life.
By writing in a journal, you become more tolerant of life's distractions. Seeing a recap of each day, you will be more inclined to visualise tomorrow with different perspectives, and lay out a plan of action, therefore making life's path and decision making so much easier.
6. A success journal lets you know yourself better, enabling you to live your life to the fullest.
Make journaling a daily habit and note everything, no matter how big or small; passing up the slice of chocolate cake, making the dreaded phone call or adding a ten minute walk to your busy day. Remember, everything counts toward your success.
Be sure to commit to writing each and every day, even if only a couple of sentences. You may think you have nothing to add, but just thinking about your goals is worth noting in your journal.
Once you begin the routine, I guarantee that within a matter of about 30 days you wouldn't be able to live without it.
