control of my day. Just beneath my schedule is a line that reads “This morning I am grateful for …” and space for me to write three things. On one particular day, I wrote: 1. I am grateful for my good night sleep to awake at 6 a.m. 2. I am grateful that I am able to back into God’s comfort anytime I wish. 3. I am grateful to take time alone at the coffee shop today. At the top of the next page there’s a section to write my goal. This doubles as a daily affirmation when I write my big goal again and the steps I will take to achieve that goal. Just below is the “Today’s Targets” section. This is a to-do list of what I need to accomplish that day. Then I end my morning by reading an inspirational quote. One of my favorite quotes in the SELF Journal came from Les Brown: “Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.” Evenings At the end of the day, I return to the SELF Journal again. Waiting for me are three more sections. The first two are Lessons Learned — where I reflect on what went well about the day and what could have gone better — and the Brag Zone — where I record my wins. Then I end the day like I started it, by writing down three things I am grateful for. The emphasis on gratitude is what I like most about the SELF Journal. I am convinced, and have been for a decade, that making a point to express your gratitude focuses your outlook on the day. Just recently, I read about a study that found people who express gratitude before going to bed fall asleep faster, stay sleep longer, and enjoy more restful sleep. Practicing gratitude helps us better remember our blessings and improves our overall well-being. Be More Productive in 2019 This barely scratches the surface of what makes the SELF Journal so awesome. I’ve tried a lot of journals and systems over the years, but this one provides a whole new sense of well-being and control over your day. It’s not good to drift around without purpose and let the tides take you where they want to. Productivity is only possible when you are in control of yourself and your time by planning and scheduling your day. The SELF Journal makes me feel as liberated today as “The University of Success” did when I was 24 years old. In the short time I’ve been using it, the system has helped me achieve numerous personal and professional goals. I strongly encourage you to try it for yourself. You can buy a copy at BestSelf.co or by searching SELF Journal on Amazon. This system can help you be more productive in any area of your life, whether you want to lose weight, have a better relationship with your spouse, or improve your real estate investing business. It’s a powerful thing to start your day by expressing gratitude.
