Synopsis

"I write for a living but Anna and Josh's simple but profound tools for self-examination actually make me want to write more. I would trust these two with my life (and have) but now I trust them with my pen. Whether you're a journaling veteran or a newbie, The Write Method will make you surprise yourself—in a good way." - Lena Dunham, creator of HBO's Girls & #1 New York Times bestselling author of Not That Kind of Girl

Studies show that daily journaling can lead to everything from increased mindfulness and communication skills to better sleep, a stronger immune system and even a higher IQ.

This 30-day journal, which is meant to be completed every evening, consists of nine questions designed to help you develop the new habit of journaling while also learning The Write Method nine-element framework. The Write Method elements are:

• Helping (Service)
• Acknowledging (Dealing with resentments)
• Progressing (Setting goals)
• Processing (Acknowledging your accomplishments)
• Ideating (Brainstorming new things)
• Noticing (Faith)
• Expressing (Recognizing that you’re grateful)
• Self-supporting (Taking time for yourself)
• Solving (Dealing with your fears)

You may have noticed something: these nine elements create an acronym for HAPPINESS.

And that’s for a simple reason: following these prompts helps us become who we are without our egos and natural human tendency toward negativity clouding our perception. This, in turn, makes us happier.

You have more control over how you feel than you may realize. Welcome to your new way of thinking, feeling and acting.

From the Inside Flap

Numerous studies have shown the benefits of writing out your feelings on a regular basis.

But experts are often so focused simply on motivating people to journal that they don't discuss the importance of what to journal about. According to Psychology Today, your perspective can change in a matter of weeks if you journal about the nine elements of The Write Method.

The elements are:

• Helping (Service)
• Ambition (Setting Goals)
• Pissed (Dealing with resentments)
• Progress (Acknowledging your accomplishments)
• Ideas (Brainstorming new things)
• Noticing Coincidences (Faith)
• Expressing Gratitude (Recognizing that you're grateful)
• Self-care (Taking time for yourself)
• Scared (Dealing with your fears)

In other words...the end result is increased HAPPINESS.

You have more control over how you feel than you may realize. Welcome to your new way of thinking, feeling and acting.
