The only REAL self-help book is written by YOU!!
No one is better suited to reveal, record, and analyze your personal struggles (and victories!) better than you! The format of RealBook is specifically designed to help you figure out where you've been, where you are and where you are going.
Get 20/20 vision in 2020!
Create clarity around the things you want in life by creating a vision book (like a vision board, but more private). RealBook provides an opportunity for you to visually and physically outline the things you want out of life. We've all read and heard testimonies about how a daily review of our vision can manifest our goals into reality.
Part journal, part workbook...
RealBook is part journal, but it is also part workbook - or more correctly - part "work-for-you" book. It relieves tension, stress, anxiety and feelings of being overwhelmed by taking the all the various aspects of your life and bringing them together in one organized collection.
Learn, laugh, and LET GO
Reflect daily on humor, learning and the art of letting go!The power of physically writing I've been a professional writer for 16 years. I know firsthand (pun intended) the power behind transferring thoughts to the hand-written word. Science and research shows that deeper processing, learning and retention takes place when things are hand-written. That is why I steered away from developing the RealBook format into an e-book or app.
Redirect some of that time spent on social media
Here's the truth - I designed RealBook for myself. I came into a somewhat confusing and frustrating time in my life, and honestly, I needed to get my sh*t together. I needed vision, accountability, gratitude, and clarity around what was frustrating me and how I was reacting to those frustrations. I needed to focus on what I WAS getting done, rather than obsessing about the seemingly endless things I wasn't getting done.
But there were some truths I needed to recognize in developing this format - I don't have much time. Countless blank pages intimidate me (even as a writer) but planners and super structured journals stress me out (I don't need more lists of things I'm not going to get done).
RealBook's format is designed to be quick, easy, and fun. Perhaps as importantly, it's meant to be meaningful, insightful and eye-opening. (Since I've started RealBooking, I've answered some questions I didn't even know I had!)
I call this journal/workbook RealBook because I think we can make HUGE strides in our goals and growth by redirecting a few minutes a day away from social media to the pages of RealBook.
