The Daily Journal is designed to guide and support you as you discover the primary and secondary foods that are right for you. Use it with the intention of permanently changing your relationship to food and health.
“Primary food” is a term coined by author Joshua Rosenthal that refers to anything in your life that nourishes you but that does not come on a plate. The important primary food areas are: Relationships, Career, Physical Activity, and Spirituality. Secondary food is, therefore, the food we eat.
This book is designed as a 3-month daily journal. You are guided to write Morning Intentions, Evening Reflections, Weekly Check-ins & Guided Exercises, and Monthly Activities & Progress. Be yourself, as you are an individual with your own unique schedule and style. You can use the journal once a day, twice a week, whatever works for you.
