I have not read of this method specifically, but I used something like it when I was younger. I met an older woman who I admired, wrote in my journal her qualities I most wanted to learn, then focused on behaving in ways more consistent with the grace I saw in her. One year later, I could see in my journal that I had in fact made progress in my own growth and had a better self concept. Periodically over the years I adjusted my thinking and behaviors when I saw people around me who had traits I respected.


Now I find this tool less useful. I am seeking to be more "myself." I don't look at others as much as look within to who I wish to be and how I want to live. I identify qualities that I personally value and wish to grow in, define how living this way will lead to my overall personal goals of greater confidence and peace, and practice creative approaches to being more who I truly am underneath the effects of earlier life trauma. As I've healed the child within and matured in my relationships, I've discovered more of who the genuine and authentic me is and how to live more true to that.


Hope this helps.
