The NEXT STEP Journal

The Next Step

A guided journal for solving problems, making clear decisions, and trusting yourself to handle whatever comes.

Most self-help advice for women tells us the same thing: rest more, create better routines, make time for yourself, and find your way back to who you were, as if those things alone will solve everything.

Self Care matters. But a soft life is not a life without problems. It is a life where every problem does not send you back into survival mode.

The Next Step helps you clear what is taking up space, understand what is in front of you, and take one manageable step forward.

Use the guided five-step process to:

• Organize problems, responsibilities, goals, decisions, and uncertainty

• Separate the facts from everything surrounding the situation

• Identify whether you need information, support, a decision, coordination, or action

• Record what you did and what came from it

• Close the situation or determine what it needs next

With every step, you build evidence that you can handle what comes.

You are capable of solving problems. You do not have to live in fear of what comes next.
