One major motivation for establishing a journaling practice is the longing to respond to that classic question: “Who am I?” It is a seemingly simple inquiry, but it encompasses many more questions within it— What kind of person am I? What makes me tick, what makes me ticked off and what makes me happy? What are my dreams and fears? Where have I been and where am I going? Keeping a journal can bring you closer to giving confident, meaningful replies to these questions and ultimately getting to know yourself better.

In order to give a clear picture of how to use journaling for selfdiscovery, this e-book examines the basic process of journaling and then provides a few prompts, or variations on the basics, that can spark your imagination and enrich the potential of your journal writing.

Even if you are one of the few lucky people who never has any trouble thinking of what to write, the prompts will help you focus your journaling practice better. By challenging yourself to focus on certain topics, you will discover new information about your inner self and achieve significant breakthroughs.

"Journaling is an effective method for unearthing selfknowledge. It aligns body and mind; it focuses regularly on the inner self in a nurturing way; and it unveils the infinity of resources that is always available to us."

"Spending measurable time on self-discovery can feel contrary to your accustomed values. You may worry that you’re being selfish or wasting time."

"There are two ways to start journaling. These relate to the very beginning of your journaling practice, as well as to those times when, though a regular journaler, you feel as though you don’t know what to write."
