The Courage Journal
One small dare, every day.
Repeated, deliberate contact with something you fear tends to make it smaller over time. That is the principle behind graded exposure, and this journal borrows it: one small dare a day for thirty days, tracked honestly, with no affirmation-poster fluff.
Four moves, repeated until they add up.
- 01Sign the Commitment
What you are practising, and why it matters now.
- 02Pick the dare
Small enough to do today. Write down what you expect to happen.
- 03Do it, then log it
What actually happened, next to what you feared.
- 04Check in twice
Two checkpoints, then a closing page on what thirty dares changed.
