This septuagenarian is validating the benefits to be derived by reflecting upon one's own history. No greater lifelong teacher have I had then Self revealing the innermost core of who I am and what I am about. A helpful exercise is to draw a life line (make that 18" long) break out periods of life such as 1-3 yrs, 3-6 yrs, etc. Top of the line,draw diagonal lines and jog notes designating positive events in that period. Bottom of line, draw diagonal lines to designate negative events. Keep in mind both negative and positive are subjective views and sometimes the most negative is the most positive teacher! Great journal material as well as formulae to live by, especially if you have to renavigate your course!!! Excellent advise.
