The School of Life Self-Improvement Journal

A guided journal for vows, goals and aspirations

This journal invites us to regularly check in on ourselves – what we want, where we want to change, where we need to go – in order to maximise our chances of leading a fulfilled and contented life.
 
The journal helps us to carve out time to focus on someone it is too easy to neglect: ourselves. With the help of some well-focused and proven questions, the journal prompts us to clarify our goals, assess our options and plot a route to a flourishing future.
 
This is a tool for a newfound feeling of lightness, creativity and purpose.

How to use this guided journal

This journal is an invitation to a more conscious life, to spending a few moments on a regular basis (ideally every day) getting to know ourselves better.
 
What the journal asks us to do looks easy but is far from it. We are – all of us – inveterate escapees from our own feelings. So it requires true dedication and courage not to wriggle away from an encounter with painful or complicated bits of ourselves and to love ourselves enough to spend time regularly with our confusions, as we would with those of a friend.
 
The five questions that we suggest we might all cycle through during a session of examination have been carefully picked to direct our minds to areas which we tend to neglect and from where trouble can most intensely arise when we do so.

1. What do I need to tell myself?
2. What interests or excites me?
3. What is making me envious?
4. In five years, I would be pleased if…
5. I need more… / I need less…
