Book Description

February 1, 2006
Where were you a year ago ?
What were you doing 2 years ago ?
What were you feeling 3 years ago ?
What were your dreams 5 years ago ?

"THE 5 YEAR JOURNAL" will enable you to journalize and plan the next 5 years with what you want, what you have felt, and where you have been. Year by year your entries add to the total summary of your feelings and events, until, on one page you can look back at the past years, up to 5 years - day by day - thought by thought - experience by experience.

We tend to be hard on ourselves, not always giving ourselves the credit due for what growth and change has occurred. Journalizing in this Journal and in the Workbook sections, over a 5 year period will memorialize what was happening. Then having 5 years to look back upon, at one glance, can give us a more accurate reflection of what did or did not happen in the past.

Recording a relative reflection creates an accurate record of memories that we can then use for assessment and personal growth. This Journal will be a reminder and support, of where we have been and where we want to go with our lives. Even if you already journal, "THE 5 YEAR JOURNAL" can be effective in addition to what you are currently doing. This Journal can be a quick and easy tool for highlights and learning from hindsight. "THE 5 YEAR JOURNAL" has a unique design that allows you to start journaling any day of the year.

With the passage of time we gain a different perspective. Time is a healer and what was once hard or unbearable can now make more sense, giving us a clearer picture. Recording and tracking our lives in this Journal can actually bring relief, clarity, joy and laughter. You can also use the MonthEnd Summary, Quarterly Questions, Year End Favorites, The Best and Worst Things That Happened to Me, Q and A Year End, Create Your Own Topic, and Year End Summary as meters to track experiences at a glance.

Imagine sitting down, just you or with friends, remembering that favorite movie or favorite song, reading about what you were doing, what you were feeling, or what was happening in your life on a specific date. With this Journal there will be a first hand account of what was, what had happened to you in your life. With the distance and time in-between, you may have a new experience with your past and create a more rewarding future. Imagine passing this Journal on to a friend or family member so they could know you and your history. They could feel your joys and successes, and experience your pains and sorrows.

This Journal can also be used for personal or business items, recording important dates, future deadlines, anniversaries, and more. Dates important in your future can now be pre-recorded for a manner of easy reminding.

The most important idea to remember about "THE 5 YEAR JOURNAL" is that you now have a quick and easy-to-use tool that can be an asset for your well being. It can enhance and assist you in the many ways that you choose to use it. It can be fun.

From the Publisher

I designed and worte The 5 Year Journal TM and believed in the book so much that I was willing to self-publish it. I felt it was important to have this book out in 1999 for 2000. The process and the book have taught me a lot about myself and I am sure they will continue to teach me. I am especially learning about my own beliefs, or at times, the lack of them.

My belief in what I am doing, what I was given to do, has brought me here today and you here today. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From the Author

I love The 5 Year Journal TM! I love that people who have begun to use it are getting to much out of it. A mother and daughter and imporving their communication with each other. A family is making it a weekly group activity, something they look forward to. A friend is using this book to focus herself, and track her progress while she writes her own book. I donated copies to a women's abuse shelter and was told that the women achieved clarity and support from the book.

My main goal in designing and writing this book was to give back; to make a contribution. Making a contribution and giving back has always been important to me. Now I have a way for that to state. I believe if we can heal, get clarity, have focus as individuals, that this will begine to reflect within ourselves, in our friendships, our work, our community, and glabally.

I autograph the book with Here's for all those dreams, desires, ideas, thoughts, and feelings. Love Doreene --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

3.0 out of 5 stars concept wonderful, execution not of quality, September 28, 2002

This review is from: The 5 Year Journal (Hardcover)
I waited some time before purchasing this book, and was pleased to see the format and directions. I'll keep using it, but I'm dissapointed in the quality of the paper and binding. Although it's only a month old, I took it to the Cape (but not the beach!) and it buckled in humidity. I have a dozen journals, and my favorites now are soft-bound leather covered, with fine paper. Even though it is hardbound, The Artist's Way Journal (Julia Cameron) has held up better for me (hardbound) over 6 years and many trips than this has in one month.

3.0 out of 5 stars super-duper structured, August 18, 2000
By 
erikawithak (Long Beach, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The 5 Year Journal (Hardcover)
this journal is a fantastic idea except it's a little too structured for someone who's, i don't know... artsy. if you want something similar that promotes the same sort of stuff except in a more relaxed, pro-creativity and fun way, i absolutely love and adore my SARK journal. in fact, you can buy it here, but for some reason amazon doesn't bring it up if you search under "blank book" or "journal," and that's just really silly. so you need to search under "sark"... anyways, if you're someone who wants to just collect your thoughts and save them up, really, this blank book is great. but, if you're buying a journal for someone who writes big and loopy, who loves color and drama and silliness, who smiles a lot and acts sorta goofy- go for the sark one. they will adore it. it's just darling...

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have for New Journalers, January 18, 2004
This review is from: The 5 Year Journal (Hardcover)
If you're like me, and have always dreamt of keeping a journal, but feel you just don't have the time (let alone have any idea where to start!) The 5 Year Journal is for you.

The 5 Year Journal is unlike any other journal I've seen, and since I used to work in a bookstore, I've seen quite a few! Unlike most journals, this one is organized by date - not year. For example, on one page you will see July 5th for 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004. Because of this, you can compare where you are at this day to where you were at exactly a year ago. It's pretty neat! Also, you only have 3 lines to fill, which is really easy for those of us who look at a journal and think "what the heck can I write". Doreene not only gives great samples in the journal, but she also continues to give you ideas and samples through a free online newsletter offered at her website. This really is a no fail journal. (take it from one who knows!)
