| It’s the beginning of a new year, and the annual traditions of making a list of resolutions is upon us. Only this time Ms. Marcia Egan has provided a wonderful tool with The Silent Signals of Success Journal. This journal assists the reader in addressing her problems with achieving success in certain areas of her life. Unlike other similar types of self-help literature, this journal doesn’t preach or attempt to pigeonhole the reader into restricting actions. Instead it encourages the reader to dwell on her desires and concentrate on what actions have actually been taken to achieve these goals.
What I really enjoyed about this journal is that it allows the reader to work on more than one area of her life in a relaxed manner. The journal is designed to be used over a 52-week period and therefore gives a person a chance to work on one item at a time. By concentrating on one challenge at a the time and correcting any problems or reinforcing already successful items, the journalist is able to create a habit over several weeks and eventually successfully incorporate these new routines into her life. Obviously, to benefit from this journal completely, it must be used over a 52-week period; but in the few weeks I used it, it served as an instrument to focus my efforts for the week. Normally, despite my best intentions, by midweek I would be floundering or sidetracked onto another important issue that suddenly emerged to get my attention. Taking the time to consider the questions posted in the journal and to reflect and using the journal as a guide at the beginning of the week seemed to ground me by forcing me to put my goals for the week in writing. It seems, at least for me, that if it’s written down, the way most people write appointments in their date book, I feel obligated to complete the goal. After a few weeks, it became more of a routine than a chore. I strongly recommend this journal for procrastinators, a category to which I belong, and to anyone who desires to be successful. This journal works because it’s interactive; it’s not a book you just sit there and read and maybe the words sink in or maybe the words don’t. It’s a journal; and like all journals, the reader, after reading certain sections, then has to look inward; and from what she sees and feels there, she translates it into words on a page. If she is like me, she will carry the small journal around in her purse, book bag, or briefcase and take it out every so often throughout the week to remind her of the goals. Hopefully, at the end of the fifty-two weeks, she will feel as positive as I did after the first few weeks of using the journal. | |||
