WHY A BIRTHDAY JOURNAL? Nearly all of us would confess we want to live a life of meaning, purpose and significance. Yet, it is hard in the day-to-day grind of everyday life to stop and assess where we are. Your birthday is the perfect time to start the tradition of reflecting on your life. Think about where you've been, where you are, and where you are going. Reflection helps you assess where you have come from and where you are going. You can reflect on life in many ways. By taking a walk down memory lane you can get in touch with who you used to be and allow this information to help you improve. Then, you can create daily and monthly reflection practices that move you closer to making positive changes in your life. This journal also serves as a health journal and may be used by teenagers, as well as adults.
