The Weekly Review is one of the most important elements of the journaling
         8                                     for the following week. The best time to do it is at the end of the week, as you
                                               process. It should only take 30 minutes to an hour including preparing your MAP

                                               prepare for the next week so that you can incorporate your learning. Start by
                                               reading all of your 8 goals to remind yourself on what you are seeking to achieve.
                                               You then read through all the journal entries for the week and then journal on the
                                               following:

                                               Wins

                                               Honour and celebrate your wins. Notice what is working for you. Sometimes we
                                               are so busy focusing on what we have failed to do, we forget to acknowledge
                                               those small wins. Success leaves clues to what works for you and your strengths.
                                               You can use and build upon these in other areas where you struggle. So spend
                                               time reviewing why you had success where you did however small. How can you
                                               use these insights to set yourself up to win more? What rewards are appropriate to
                                               celebrate your successes?

               WEEKLY                          Did you over promise to yourself and under deliver? Did you procrastinate? Look
                                               for the triggers or circumstances that caused you to struggle. Were they things,
                                               people or feelings? How can you prepare for them or eliminate their negative

                                               you are seeking to achieve? Can you rethink your small steps to give yourself a
                                               quick win?
