Self-Reflection Journal

  • Self-knowledge

A guided journal for processing emotions

This is a journal to help us process our lives; to think more clearly about what we really want, what we are actually feeling and what might be holding us back from our goals. We’re given the space to observe what is going on in our minds and the encouragement to regularly analyse our thoughts with clarity and ease. By filling in the journal on a regular basis, we can lessen our anxieties and zero in on our genuine concerns. This is a psychological tool to help us digest emotions and events – and over time, to establish the calm, mature and contented lives we deserve.

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 – so that we will suffer less from split off emotions.
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 am I really worried about?
2. What am I presently sad about?
3. Who has annoyed me and how?
4. What does my body want?
5. What is still lovely?
