Building the Best You: A Two-Year Discovery Journal

by Caroline Harper

How can you become the person you’ve always dreamt of being? Personal transformation begins when you take stock of where you are and what you’re doing right now…and work to change it. And with this two-year self-discovery journal, based on the tenets of Positive Psychology, you’ll not only see results from year-to-year or even month-to-month; an amazing difference is visible day-to-day. All you have to do is answer some basic questions and take five minutes of “focus time” daily to get there. Best of all, charting your entries is an affirmative experience, because you’re responding to queries like “What am I grateful for today?”, “What challenged me?”, and “How can I overcome that challenge?” It highlights the courage, joy, hope, forgiveness, and love that live inside you.
The unique and attractive design places year one and year two questions in two side-by-side columns, so you can easily compare answers, notice patterns, and celebrate how far you’ve come in only 12 months.

I have just finished my first year of self reflection using this journal. I have been journaling for years, but it was refreshing to have a journal that is short and to the point, having me write about the same topics each day. It was really helpful to see my patterns and what needed to be changed as well as what was working for me. And now it is really nice to have my entry from today's date a year ago right there so I can compare where I am now compared to then. I still keep a separate journal for longer entries, but the format of this one keeps me writing pretty much everyday, something I have never done before. I am so glad I found this book in the bargain book section of B&N!
