The National Association of Christian Journal Writers presents:

Journal Your Way to Smart Decision Making

This is the course that can provide you with a personal framework for making informed, well considered, smart decisions. And that’s not all! Once you know the skills to better decision making, you can teach them to others.

You can become a Certified

Smart Decisions­™Facilitator

This course was originally developed and designed by Kathy Bornarth for a group of United States Marines to help them make well thought out decisions in their personal and professional lives. And now, our curriculum can help you and your clients as well.

You can use these skills to make better decisions in your own life. Or, you can teach them to others who want and need more direction when it comes to making decisions.

I am certain you will embrace this course and enjoy teaching it to others! Not only will you learn to teach how and why we make the decisions we do, you will learn structured journaling techniques used by professional therapists to promote more effective decision making.

Using journaling as a tool for self-help and self-awareness is a well-documented and researched technique and has never been more accepted by practicing therapists than it is now. More and more professionals in the psychology, health, and spiritual fields are using journaling to help people grow.

In fact, a number of influential figures in church history have kept journals for spiritual and personal development. Today, expressive writing continues to change the lives of those who take advantage of its many gifts.

“Keep a notebook or journal of lessons learned. This is not a diary of events, but a record of what you are learning. Write down the insights and life lessons God teaches you about him, about yourself, about life, relationships, and everything else. Record these so you can review and remember them and pass them on to the next generation. The reason we must relearn lessons is that we forget them. Reviewing your spiritual journal regularly can spare you a lot of unnecessary pain and heartache.”

Rick Warren, The Purpose Driven Life, p. 222
