You don't need more motivation. You need to understand yourself. I Am The Hero Of My Own Life is a guided journal designed to help you envision your ideal life and then identify the unconscious attachments, beliefs, and patterns that may be preventing you from living it. Through writing prompts and exercises, alongside some of Brianna's favorite quotes, most popular articles, and new passages, this journal helps you sort through the conflicting thoughts, feelings, and fears that can keep you from becoming the person you want and need to be. You do not need more motivation or drive to start building the life of your dreams. You need to better understand who you are, why you keep re-creating comfortable pain patterns, and why you may not really want what it is you think you do. Inside you'll find exercises that help you: • Trace your judgments of other people back to your own personal insecurities • Identify the intersection of your skills, your passions, and the world's needs • Explore the qualities you want in a partner and consider how you can embody those qualities yourself • Envision what you'd think about and what you'd do all day if you were already healed, whole, and happy • Examine the unconscious patterns that keep you attached to familiar forms of pain • Build a clearer picture of the life you actually want — rather than the life you think you should want If you found yourself in The Mountain Is You , questioned your patterns with 101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think , or used The Pivot Year to rethink the way you move through your days, this journal gives you a more active way to engage with those ideas. It is designed to be written in, returned to, and revisited as your understanding of yourself changes. Perfect for readers who: • Want a guided journal for self-discovery, personal growth, and creating a more intentional life • Are interested in understanding self-sabotage, limiting beliefs, and unconscious patterns • Want to turn the ideas in Brianna Wiest's books into personal reflection and action • Are working on self-worth, confidence, healing, or becoming more fully themselves • Enjoy thoughtful writing prompts, exercises, and reflective journaling rather than traditional goal-setting • Are looking for a meaningful gift for someone beginning a new chapter or trying to make a major change in their life A Thought Catalog Books imprint.
