This is a 12-week day-to-day journal designed to become your constant companion as you live your way through sport and life. It is created as somewhat of a blank canvas for you in journaling. It is neither overly prescriptive or restrictive, but acts as a guide or framework. You can complete some, or all, of the challenges, prompts and practices included. How you use it is up to you.
This journal can help you develop good practices and habits, allowing you build the momentum required to be a well-rounded persona and self-managing athlete. Sport (and life) is a 'learning competition' and a game of continual adjustment. This journal is a tool designed to help you discern the huge volume of information the modern world challenges you to process on a daily basis. It is designed to help you learn and develop as both a person and athlete leading you to a consistent state of growth and progress.
The journal is divided into four-week blocks making it simple for you to plan, reflect, learn, measure progress and manage the process of trying to be the best you can be.
Challenges and Practices include:
- Daily journaling prompts.
- Wellbeing Check-Ins.
- Crafting, honing and evolving a 'This is Me' guide.
- Setting clear goals or intentions.
- Developing tools that will help you: plan, measure, track, learn, reflect and so on.
Throughout the journal, Sundays are used to plan for the week ahead and bring clarity with regard to how you want to spend your days. On the Saturdays, you are challenged to reflect on your learnings from the previous week. Weekdays are used for simple morning and evening journaling exercises. Each day includes a 'Morning Wellbeing Check-In' and 'Evening Wellbeing Markers' section. Also, on weekday mornings, you are prompted to revert back to your 'This is Me' guide allowing you to really get to know and understand what is important to you as a person and athlete. Each four-week block concludes with a review of your learning, before the process continues.
This journal is full of prompts and challenges which only you can answer. It affords you the opportunity to continuously reflect, build and nurture your personal and sporting identity and behaviours. This journal will both serve and challenge you in many ways.
