Musings on Meditation and Art

Deep Journaling

“Very few people have ever done deep work in defining their character—the specific identity they wish to have. They simply respond to the world on a whim, without paying any real attention to the type of person they want to be or become.” ~ Brendon Burchard
 
The quote above comes from Burchard’s book “The Motivation Manifesto” which I highly recommend.  I read his book last April as part of my spiritual reading for the month.  One of the things that I have learned is that you cannot stay in your head when reading these types of books or the learning is just book knowledge.  You must actually do the exercises so that the learning becomes personal.
 
This April, I plan to do deep journaling and answer the questions from the book. A few of the deep questions I plan to answer include:
  • If I were to die tomorrow, how would I want others to remember me? What exact words and phrases would I be happy to hear them use to describe me?
  • If I were given only 6 months to live, what would I do the same and differently than I am doing now?
  • Describe the projects and aims that give me energy, enthusiasm, and meaning.
  • What am I really after in life?
  • How do I balance "being" and "doing?"
Try some deep journaling and answer the questions above.
 
You don’t need to share your answers, but share what it was like to answer these types of questions.
