The Gift of Inner Fortune

Journaling—online or on paper—is one of the most exciting forms of communication these days thanks to the huge impact of social networks. This is fortunate for many reasons:

  • Oncologists are now helping their cancer patients to journal about the physical and emotional changes in their bodies in order to bring awareness to their healing process;
  • Teachers are helping their students to journal about their adventures into the murky waters of peer pressure and self-reflection;
  • Life and career coaches are helping their clients to journal about everything under the sun in order to find peace of mind, solve problems, and live more simply. One life coach uses Inner Fortune journals with her clients on her “outward bound” ski excursions at Aspen!
  • The Inner Fortune journal has an accessible format – easily referenced for noticing trends, recalling great ideas, and simply finding things written without having to read page after page and wasting precious time.

    The Inner Fortune journal is color coded into 8 aspects of life that we all share in common:

    Dream | Livelihood | Thought | Social | Family | Body | Adventure | Inspiration |

    Each section has a number of uniquely formatted pages:

    • blocks to write bullet points in or draw pictures in (with trigger words to stimulate ideas)
    • guided exercises to extract meaning particular to that aspect of life
    • scales to “rate” the particular moment-in-time feelings relative to that aspect of life, and
    • standard line pages for unstructured writing.

    There are also added value pages:

    • 8 calendar pages (most journals will be full within 8 months)
    • guides in each section for defining personal objectives
    • Happy When… / GRATITUDE list
    • I AM inventory / I Want list
    • Movies watched / books read lists
    • Goal setting / Achievements pages
    • and a powerful recap page for giving favorite pages a TITLE

    Inner Fortune journaling is a full-life planner – short on time and long on discoveries.

    We all NEED to journal. We process information holistically – when one part of our life is off balance, it can have a domino effect on other parts. Learning to isolate and clarify an issue for what it is, empowers us to focus attention where it is needed rather than jumping into another pint of ice cream because of umm, hmmm, maybe something someone said the other day?

    If you have a friend that you’d like to do something special for, or surprise with a gift that is as unique as she (or he) is, consider the Inner Fortune Journal. Or host a group of friends for an Inner Fortune Quest. This guided journaling process is a perfect thing to do with a group of friends: socializing over a glass of wine, some individual journaling done as a group, then sharing discoveries with each other. It’s time we bonded together the way our ancestors did, wouldn’t you agree?

    Newsweek, the New York Times, USA Today, and other major publications have run stories about the proven power of journaling. However reading an article is a far cry from the direct experience of going from pissed off to positive in 10 minutes flat – experience Inner Fortune yourself today!

    The real source of wealth in this new era is not material things—it is the human mind, the human spirit, the human imagination, and our faith in the future. That’s the magic of a free society—everyone can move forward and prosper because wealth comes from within.
