We have created this journal to help people establish habits that generate more stillness in their lives. Once you get into the journal you will discover why this is important. And so we hope you meet this book with curiosity, discipline and openness.

There is no formula to being still that doesn’t involve time, practice, and failure. So expect to fail, not once but many times. Expect there to be hard days and rewarding days, but don’t expect to arrive at the end and be finished.

There is no perfectly calm, still, aware person out there. This is a constant journey of practice, failure, learning and growth. And we are on that journey with you. There is no need to strive for an end result, striving will only lead to attachment and judgement of your journey. Instead let yourself progress naturally, and remember practice is progress, there is no finish line.

So whether this is your first step or you have already taken a few, we hope you enjoy the journey and we hope this book brings you times of both challenge and stillness.
