Life is all about emotions.
How you feel determines what you do.
What you do determines your results or lack of results.
Here's the Problem.
You are taught that your circumstances determine your emotions and results which leaves you either:
Trying to control the world.
Isolating because trying to control everything is impossible & exhausting.
Numbing your emotions because you don't like how you feel.
HJU is practical, emotional education for our modern world.
Our Emotional Education has Failed.
If it worked, we wouldn't be facing the mental and emotional issues we have today.
The self-help industry is a MULTI-BILLION dollar industry yet, we're overmedicated, overweight, in debt, lonely, and unfulfilled.
Instead of CONSUMING more information that creates a temporary feeling of productivity but no real change...
NOW is the perfect time to STUDY YOURSELF!
What if this is your time to question your unexamined thoughts and limiting beliefs?
What if this is the time to clean up unhelpful emotions that hold you back?
You won’t find out how to do that by studying someone else’s path.
And you won't find out how to make real, permanent, meaningful change in a book or podcast.
You will learn how to do that with a pen, paper, your brain, and your heart in...
You'll do it by combining simple creativity, journaling, guided self-coaching, and our tools and lessons with what you already know about yourself to create the best version of YOU.

Enroll to study yourself & edit the unhelpful stories in your brain.

Monthly Growth Path Curriculum
Follow A New HJU Growth Path Each Month After Orientation & HJU Tools Training
Each HJU Monthly Growth Path is divided into four parts.
Week #1 - Instructional Lesson
Guided Self-Coaching
In the first lesson of each Growth Path, Maritza will show you how to apply the Heartwork Journaling Tools you learned in Orientation to move you further down your path to success.
Get your notebook and sharpen your pencils.
It's time for class!
Week 2 - Experiential Art Lesson
Powerful Play with a Purpose
In the second lesson of each monthly Growth Path, Maritza will guide you through a creative Heartwork Journaling Lesson that combines simple art anyone can do with self-compassion, kindness, and color to the deep inner work that moves you forward.
These Heartwork Journaling Lessons are designed to help you see your thoughts and emotions so you can coach yourself to create more of the results you want.
Break out your favorite art supplies or just grab a piece of paper and a pen or pencil.
It's time to use art and creativity to learn and grow!
Week 3 Lesson
Doodle Your Emotions Lesson
In the third lesson for each monthly Growth Path, you'll follow along with Maritza and create 2 Doodles about 2 Emotions related to your Growth Path.
One of the emotions feels good to neutral and the other feels bad.
You'll do a deep dive to gain more awareness and understanding of how each emotion shows up for you, how they can get in the way, how they can help you, and how to process them in a healthy manner that moves you forward.
Week 4 - Student's Choice/Study Hall
Dive Into The Bonus Material - Explore the HJU Answer Vault
Design your last week of each monthly Growth Path in the way that serves you best.
Take a week off and give yourself the white space you need to use the self-coaching skills you developed during the month.

Heartwork Journaling University's Growth Path Library
At HJU we know you want to feel confident and in charge of your life. To do that you can't be at the mercy of your emotions.
We believe that just because you haven't been taught what creates your emotions or how to feel, process, and determine them does not mean that it's too late.
We've taught over 14,000 students how to take back control of their lives with the HJU Tools and the lessons you'll discover in each of the unique HJU Growth Paths.
HJU Freshman Year Growth Paths
Each Growth Path will help you build emotional confidence, learn how to coach yourself to or through anything, and create your results on purpose.
You'll stop:
- letting the past equal the future.
- feeling at the mercy of your circumstances.
- going through cycles of being emotionally triggered and numbing.
- and staying stuck by procrastination, perfectionism, or downgrading your goals.
Instead, you will:
- know how to feel and process ANY emotion.
- gain conscious control of your life.
- and learn how to create your results on purpose.

What Students say about HJU...
"Changed My Life."
"I have tried therapy but always left sessions either feeling the same or worse. I wanted "tools" but never got them. People would say that you can "choose your thoughts" but I never understood how that worked.
With the EGPS and the Equation of Emotion, I now have a tool that works. This has truly been a lifeline for me and I am eternally grateful."
Avis Board
"Exceeded My Expectations"
"I was expecting something more like the crafty online classes I do, which would have been fine.
Instead, I am so pleased with the caliber of the site and the content, not to mention the quantity and variety of lessons available.
I truly feel like I am enrolled in an institution of higher learning!"
Suzan Flipping
"Confident, Not Doubting Myself."
"I'm confident for the first time in a long time. I'm not hoping, I'm not wishing, I'm not wondering, I'm not doubting myself.
I am confident that I can get there and it is all through doodling, journaling and heart work journaling. Thank You."
Elizabeth Allbright
"Such a MINDSHIFT."
"You used my weight loss Equation in an example. Since then I am loving and appreciating my body. I am making choices that are best for my body.
What is so crazy is that it hasn't been hard and I feel great in my skin now! I got on the scale Saturday and was amazed to realize that I've lost nearly 10 pounds in the last 2 months. I'm on my way."

You were born with potential.

You have wings.
Learn to use them and fly.
