Take the 7 Days Self Discovery Journaling Challenge Write Now
Posted by Mari L. McCarthy on Wed, Feb 15, 2012 @ 05:53 PM
We've been talking a lot lately about using journaling for Self Discovery. Maybe it's time to stop talking and start doing!
In January, we had a full 27 Day Journaling Challenge, with dozens of participants and innumerable epiphanies. Whether or not you were there, you're going to love our next Challenge: an action-packed, no-holds-barred seven days of journaling down to your core Self.
The 7 Day Self Discovery Journaling Challenge begins next Monday, the 20th, and runs through the 26th. You can sign up here. No cost for the workshop; just purchase the (waaayyy inexpensive, if I do say so myself) workbook.
You'll be investing in the creation of an heirloom, or at least a treasured collection of your discoveries that will serve as your personal guide for years to come.
Don't trust yourself to be faithful to a journaling process? Come on board anyway and you're very likely to get hooked.
The seven days are focused on collecting large amounts of new information about your Self: your motivations, personality, fears, loves, and tons more.
The course begins with an orientation towards writing by hand, strongly suggested for the week's exercises. This may be a challenge in itself, for many of us. But writing by hand is a shorter route to Self understanding.
The week continues with exercises that open up Self awareness, including dealing with self-criticism and fears that keep us from Self knowledge. The seven days conclude with suggestions for next steps.
It's a lot to promise in a mere week, but that's the awesome power of journaling.
If you've done our Challenges before, you'll find this one is little different: certainly shorter, a bit more intense, and it includes some stimulating new exercises.
We're also hoping that the abbreviated time commitment required by this Challenge will attract newcomers to journaling. If you're reading this post and toying with the idea of keeping a journal; or if you know someone who might like to try it, now's your chance!
The risk is teensy tiny and the rewards are unspeakably great.
So. Here's the sign-up link again. Do your Self a favor.
