Journaling your way toward your goals

An update on the same women who ordered some journals to help each other stay focused on their goals as they made the changes in their life a little at a time to get there using a daily journal with a motivational photo offered on my website.
It’s been about three weeks now and we have been able to track our daily progress, which we both love, down to what we ate, in what recipe, what we weighed, how much we worked out, how the food made us feel and whether we wanted to purchase and eat it again for the next weeks grocery list. While we are miles apart, working on our goals this way has felt incredibly supportive in our chats and encouraging e mails to one another. I chose some funny animal expression photos for one journal and that face is what I see every morning as I log my progress. I chose it because it was so welcoming to me and it feels like exactly that when I write in it every morning, afternoon and evening. I am happier to return to it again and again as it feels so good just to look at it. My friend and I noticed that while this is an emotional time for us losing the weight and changing our habits that the extra feeling of an emotional and mental boost through our journals with photos that we love on them has made this far less of a grind then it has been in the past. We believe it is due to the mental and emotional “supportive” feeling that we get from these journals and that we chose them specifically to “cheer” us on this time. It is way more fun as it feels like we have another buddy always there encouraging us. Actually what feels really great is the feeling that I put into the photo on the journal as I chose it off of the website to encourage me during this time. I can feel my own encouragement and support as I come back to it time and time again throughout the day and that has made all of the difference in the world this time in keeping me focused moving forward with encouraging feelings and self-talk towards my goals. We are so glad you offer these wonderful photos in ways that allow us to integrate them into our lives on purpose.
I find it very fun and rewarding to be able to do what I love to do and to hear about how others are using the photos that I offer to encourage themselves throughout their day on purpose. I appreciate that they took the time to let me know how they are able to turn a daily item into a useful tool to get them where they want to be in their lives.
