In The Mirror: On Reflection, Growth, and Overcoming Chaos

By Christian Michael Dossett

"Let's have a chat," I said to myself in the mirror on the night of November 28, 2020. A sense of agency can be described as "the feeling of control over actions and their consequences." As I looked into the mirror, I saw a man who craved a greater sense of agency. I was about to give it to him. If I have ever known one thing for certain, this was it. My soul was on fire, my eyes were locked on themselves, and I was certain that my life was about to change for the better.This is a templated journaling practice developed from the stale taste left by several years of aimless traditional journaling. Life can easily and often become a "running through the motions" experience. The creation of this book is an attempt to keep stray from the gravity of a robotic experience. I've used this practice myself to keep a birds-eye-view of my actions and intentions that would often go unnoticed and attributed to habitual life. The overhead view of my experience allowed for assessment, critique, and adjustments. I believe that it helps me to live a more intentional life. It has boosted my clarity, productivity, and happiness. I do not expect this to be a one-size-fits-all option to getting your shit together. But the best we can do is step into the changing room and see if the thing we were recommended becomes the pair of pants that we're grateful to wear each day. This practice is that pair of pants. I hope they fit you and I hope that you strut your stuff!The first thirty pages include the author's detailed story about the development of the practice and the latter 60 pages are dedicated to your journaling practice.
