1. Keeping a Daily Journal
Can Change Your Life!

13. (Obviously, all of this data would not be recorded
daily, but some entry would be recorded each day)

16. More then likely, you completed writing down
the information in approximately 1 minute.
Yet, in that 1 minute, you created an important
snapshot of important data in your life. You now
have historical data you can refer to as time goes
by, to help you track your progress as you move
towards your life goals.

17. I know how well this works. For the past 7 years,
I have kept a simple, yet informative log of every
day of my life. I can tell you exactly how I felt on
Wed., July 25,1999, or any day since. I can look
back and see how I reacted to issues in my life
and what helped me overcome an illness,
injury or stressful period in my life.

18. It generally takes me less then two minutes to
record the log for any day. It is a habit that has
become a part of my life; it is now second nature
for me. If you have a computer, I recommend
typing just three to four lines of descriptive
text into a word processing program each day.
