Day Crafting: The Introductory Workbook.
This practical and beautifully produced workbook, written by personal development expert Bruce Stanley, introduces you to a refreshingly new way of exploring how to make a good life. In this first workbook, Day Crafting is introduced through a balanced mix of theory - and a delightful series of simple practices that will bring positive changes to your days from the first few pages. The skills and techniques of Day Crafting have been developed and refined by a growing community of Day Crafting Apprentices. These are now available in this workbook series.
This brand new method is like nothing else around. Within the practice of Day Crafting, you focus on today. In contrast to many coaching and development programmes, the emphasis of Day Crafting shifts from long term hopes and plans to behaviours and methods in the here-and-now. The Day Crafting approach suggests that the good life is made up of good todays instead of something we hope to arrive at in the future.
The good life in two steps:
Step one, balance and flourish today. Step two, repeat step one tomorrow.
What is the aim of Day Crafting? What if you changed your emphasis from the goal at the end of the journey to the journey itself. What if you focussed on what you were brilliant at doing and learned how to make that the centrepiece of each day. What if you used simple tools to improve the day you’re living. What if the secret to a good life was to accumulate good days.
This is for you if you’re attracted to the craftsperson’s journey and the rhythm of curiosity, practice and appreciation.
Craft days with intention. Craft days to balance your energy and commitments.
Craft days to focus on what matters. Craft days to maximise your strengths. Craft days to manage and reduce stress. Craft days to contain more delight, pleasure and play. Craft days to build towards extraordinary achievements. Craft days to become fitter, smarter, happier, healthier. Craft days to develop super-powered confidence, presence, trust and heartfulness.
Essentially, Day Crafting is the daily practice of the skilled use of time. It reorientates us to realise that wellbeing and a flourishing life are more about how to tweak the day you’re living in than where you imagine you might be in months or years to come. And it really works … if you choose to start.
