Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I just completed my journal yesterday, so I decided to write a review about my experience. For starters, I personally like that the book is small with very few lines for responding, because that forced me to be concise, yet thorough-- to answer each question with gut-instinct honesty, rather than over-thinking my responses. As a result, I have a journal that serves as a 5-yr self-study with valuable evidence of my growth, plateaus, and regressions. It's been wonderful to read see how I got over something or someone I thought I'd NEVER get over, because I now have a written reminder that wounds heal and that "this too shall pass". It's been educational to see the things I've remained firm and unyielding about, because I now have a clearer sense of my value system and authenticity (i.e. what makes me, ME). It's been uncomfortable to see how I didn't grow/improve I in the ways I've needed to, or how certain situations in my life didn't change or turn out as I'd hoped they would. But seeing those realities scattered throughout the journal is helping me realize what I can control and what I can't. And those revelations are motivating to step up and work harder where I do have control, and to finally let go of what I can't. Yes, there are some silly questions in here and some that don't lead to greater self-awareness or life-changing epiphanies, but I appreciated the variety, because I think I would have found it difficult to answer a deep or self-analytical question every single day. Besides, even some of the trivial questions helped me see how I've matured over the years. So, if you want a quick and easy way to track your personal development, I think this would be a worthwhile I investment. I've already ordered a new one to start on my upcoming birthday-- so in 2021 I'll have a 10yr self-study.
