Book Cover & Preview Text
About this book The M.A.P. journaling method originated from a determination to move forward with the long-held goal of publishing my fiction. Over the years, I’d let go of that dream, telling myself I didn’t have time, or that I wasn’t good enough. My few attempts were curtailed by feeling inadequate, becoming overwhelmed, and I gave up in frustration. I needed a way to break through these barriers. With initial guidance from actor and comedian Kim Coles, I learned to incorporate gratitude into my daily routine. From that grew my daily journal practice. Other journals required a great deal of time and organization, so I created my own—the M.A.P. Mindset, Action, Persistence. The elements of the journal are designed to help break through the obstacles to your goals: feeling overwhelmed; not being able to find time; negative thought patterns; giving up when you hit a roadblock. This journal gets straight to the essentials. Except for the initial priority-setting stage, you should spend about 5 minutes in the morning and another 5 in the evening on the various elements. Try not to overthink or worry about details as you fill in each section.
