Leaning on the concepts of Narrative Psychology, identify the stories underpinning who you are.
Stay focused as goals are chunked across yearly, quarterly, monthly, weekly, and daily check-ins.
Stories are a human cultural universal – we use them to understand the world and our place in it.
But, because they’re so automatic, we’re often unaware just how much power they hold over we think, act, and feel.
Your Story of My Life Journal leans on the concepts of Narrative Psychology to help you identify, understand, and change the stories at your core.
You’re investing in your personal development, your mental health, your wellbeing – your life!
You want to know you can trust whatever system you use.
We get it.
That’s why your Story of My Life Journal uses authentic psychotherapeutic and wellbeing strategies and resources to give you structure you can rely on.
And that’s why all referenced sources are provided at the back of your journal.
Here’s a simple truth: you can’t expect to hit a target you don’t aim at.
The same goes for you and your life.
Your Story of My Life Journal provides you the tools and structure – and the daily reinforcement – to plan who you want to be, and what you want to achieve in life, then supports you in making it happen.
But there’s so much more to goalsetting than simply direction (although, that’s pretty good) – there’s meaning and purpose, there’s positive emotion, there’s reduction in anxiety and depression.
In fact, there’s so much more to it that we dedicated a far deeper discussion to it.
Check out “The psychology of goalsetting” at the bottom of the page The 4-Point SOML Difference to understand more.
There’s a reason we made your Story of My Life Journal a physical book and not an app (and, trust us, the latter would have been FAR cheaper) – it’s better for you.
Journaling – particularly when done regularly and objectively – helps build competency in areas such as emotional self-awareness, self-actualisation, optimism, gratitude, empathy, assertiveness, and problem solving.
Handwriting activates the brain’s Reticular Activating System (RAS), which is responsible for prioritising that which requires immediate focus and filters everything else out.
That means increased focus on the goals and self-reflection you deem important, and increased learning capabilities and memory retention for that which is important.
Writing stimulates and activates parts of the brain your digital device doesn’t, providing a far richer experience that helps you produce genuine results.
We support and promote positive mental health and wellbeing by providing accessible insights, tools, resources, and products that help people better understand who they are, where they want to go, and how they’ll get there.

Story of My Life Journal acknowledges the Wadjuk people of the Noongar Nation as the Traditional Custodians of this Noongar boodjar (Noongar land) on which we operate.
We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded, and we thank and pay respect to Aboriginal Elders – past, present, and emerging – for their continuous love and custodianship of the land and waterways we now get to experience and enjoy, from Boorloo (Perth) and the Derbal Yerrigan (Swan River) and beyond.
The Aboriginal people are recognised for telling and sharing stories with one another, and the Story of My Life Journal team draws inspiration from the oldest living culture in the world, as we share stories of our own and support others in understanding theirs.
Always was. Always will be.
