The first thought that might come to your mind after reading the heading of this article might be something like: “Yes, I know- but how?”or “Why are thoughts so important?”

Kim Ades from www.frameofmindcoaching.com has worked with a large number of clients and came to the conclusion that your thoughts, thinking patterns and beliefs create both your successes and your failures.

As with a lot of things in our lives we are often “blind” to our own patterns, beliefs etc. Kim found a unique way of unearthing and bringing to light these patterns and beliefs. She uses journalling with all her clients.

I have to admit that I had a rather narrow view of journalling before talking to Kim. I thought it was all about describing what happened during your day.

How can journalling help you?

• thinking drives results
• behaviour patterns fllow from thought
• we have about 60,000 thoughts a day
• journalling shows up our beliefs
• journal becomes a mirror of our thoughts and beliefs
• journal tells us where to go next
• coach can look with you at the “mirror” side by side
• the journal is focussed – you write to answer a particular question you were asked or about a particular topic
• journal is like an x-ray – helps you and your coach to see faster and more accurate
