Introduction
Clicking on Goals/Affirmations, listed under Pages of Life in the menu above will reveal holistic goals and
affirmations for individuals who seek purpose, fulfillment,
happiness, and closure in their lives. These goals are also the
basis for a new concept in journaling...Seven Pages of Life...a
holistic approach to living with, enjoying, and filling our own
pages of life.
Beneath each brief descriptor appears the goal sought, worded as
though the goal has already been achieved. This provides a visual
cue to reaffirm our commitment to a balanced, holistic
lifestyle...a form of personal affirmation which helps to
motivate actual achievement of the goal.
When we make an affirmation a part of our life, it pulls us to
accomplish it. And, if on a given day we somehow do not measure
up to that goal, we can honestly excuse ourselves: "That
really isn't like me. I am better than that!" And we can
approach tomorrow with a reinforced belief that the goal
represents us as we really can be, as we really will be, as we
really are!
At the same time, the holistic goals can provide a sense of
balance each day: are we considering, doing, living up to the
standards we have set for ourselves?
The journal
format provides space to write your thoughts each day on each of
the life goals. The result is for your private use so it can be
as brief or as lengthy, as simple or as profound, or as heavenly
or as hellish as you would like it to be. A word might be
sufficient. A sentence is certainly appropriate. And even a major
thesis can be accommodated in the expanding text blocks provided
in the journal template.
