Do One Thing Every Day That Scares You: A Journal

by Dian G. Smith, Robie Rogge

Each day is an opportunity to perform one small act of bravery; singing out loud, asking for help, admitting a mistake, pitching an idea, accepting a compliment, changing your hair, going for the prize, failing spectacularly and trying agin. This journal contains a year's worth of fear-facing prompts and mottoes of encouragement. It provides space to jot down daily examples of your own courage--the small steps that culminate in one bold year. Jotting down one thing a day, especially on fortifying subjects like gratitude and happiness, is an enormously popular journaling practice (one that is recommended by nearly every best-selling self-help author). Bravery is another key ingredient of self-actualization, so why not make a daily habit of thinking courageously? This journal is perfect for recent graduates, milestone birthdays, or as a year-end holiday gift to kick off "New Year, New You" projects.

This began as a fun little exercise for the year, but waned as I got further into my calendar and discovered that finding the perfect page to document my courage was more time-consuming than gratifying. I did not fill this out as I had originally intended to, because I found it more appealing to wait for those moments that I really wanted to document, and then find the perfect page for them. It became more an exercise in journaling things I do every day than a challenge. I'm simply not scared by many of the things listed here such as public speaking, trying new foods, going to new places, wearing something bold...this is just my life. So it might make for a nice prompt for some people, and it did encourage me to write down the things I do every day that DO require a measure of bravery.

Cute little book/journal. Each page has a quote and a space to write each day. Took me awhile to complete it.
