HOW JOURNALING HELPS US MEET OUR GOALS
Most people have heard that journaling is beneficial but few know what to journal about, or what tangible difference it's going to make.
In other words, there's a GAP.
That's why New York Times bestselling author and journaling advocate Anna David created the "G.A.P. Method"—a unique system for journaling about Goals, Actions and Progress in a way that shows how to pursue dreams while letting go of the results.
Studies show that writing down our goals makes us 42% more likely to meet them. With the "G.A.P. " journaling method, attendees will not only able to identify what they want and take steps to get it but also find greater patience, satisfaction and productivity.
David—who has spoken about journaling on Good Morning America and written about it in Psychology Today and Entrepreneur magazine—has seen the transformative impact the "G.A.P. Method" has had on the people she coached. This motivated her to bring "Journaling Your Way to Success" to corporations, events and colleges worldwide.
Using wit, live journaling exercises and unique stories—about topics as varied as meeting a goal 27 years after setting it and learning about manifestation from a pre-fame Matt Damon—David provides audiences with specific journaling exercises and actionable steps. Even better: every participant leaves with a G.A.P. journal that already has their initial goals and actions mapped out.
