Book excerpt: This is not just any journal The Feel-Good Journal is based on the most popular evidence-based treatment in the field of psychology. We explain how the main Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) principles work and how they can rapidly improve your life! In our clinical practice, we noticed that clients who recover are also the ones that consistently practice the techniques we teach them. Therefore, we have created this journal, to allow you to practice the main strategies for challenging negative thinking and improving resilience. Is this even for me? Do you feel "lost" and want to re-invent your life? Do you feel you are "too negative" and need help on how to have more balanced and positive thoughts? Are you too critical of yourself and therefore you struggle with your personal relationships and your career? Are you struggling with motivation? If you answered yes to at least some of the questions, then you are in the right place. If this is you, but you do not have time or money to see a therapist, this is your chance to learn more about CBT at an affordable price! What makes this journal so special? We wanted to create some powerful content for you, so we did not just create a regular journal. This is actually journal divided in two parts. * Part 1: have you ever wondered what is like to see a therapist/coach and work on yourself? Well, we made it easy for you by teaching you some of the theoretical underpinning of psychological theories. In this section, you can learn the theory and practice exercises to help you embed the new learning in your day to day life! You can learn where negative thinking comes from, how to identify the different types of negative thoughts and what you can do to challenge them. We also teach you about resilience and introducing balance in your life. Finally, we help you discover your values and how to set goals that are in line with these. * Part 2: Self-awareness is the first step towards personal growth. We cannot really change who we are if we do not have a clear sense of our identity. So, we planned some insightful questions that will help you to explore and reflect on your goals, attitudes, personal characteristics, preferences and so on. It will not do just that. It will also challenge outdated beliefs so that you can literally start embracing the new emerging you! Each week (there are 52 weeks' worth of content), you will be encouraged to reflect on answers to 3 questions that fit a particular theme. On alternating weeks, we have set you challenges that help implement the new reflective you. On alternating weeks, we have also included powerful quotes that help with shifting from a stuck mind-set to a growth one. This journal has a quite simple and neat design as we wanted to put more emphasis on the content of it. In short, what will you able to once you finish reading this journal? You will know how to manage negative thoughts and restructure outdated ways of thinking in favour of more helpful thinking processes You will be able to change established behaviours and learn strategies to increase resilience It will help to increase motivation by channelling your creative energy towards your true values and purpose It will stimulate reflection on your current and past life's challenges and increase self-awareness!
