Brought me a more positive outlook
Are you someone who does not have time to journal but wants to bring a more positive and grateful mindset everyday. Then this is for you. Try it! It really only takes 5 minutes. You can time it. It has two parts a morning section and night section. The morning has three entries and night has two entries to fill in. There are weekly challenges that show up on the pages that are fun but not too time consuming. For me I did it as the first thing in the morning BEFORE touching my phone. At night I was less strict and did it whenever it fit in my night schedule. My piece of advice is you can do it however you want as long as you do it everyday no matter if it’s a good day or a bad day. Personally it was a slow change, it was hard for me to come up with things to write but after two weeks I started to see my day differently. It was more positive and I felt more grateful for things. I noticed things in my day that should write down. Took time to enjoy them. There is a entry that says “what would make today great”. That for me was the hardest. I did not know what I could do that would make that day great. But it brought me more in tune with myself for that day and what I needed. Sometimes I wrote things down in that section and did not do them, other times I made sure to do all the things. It taught me a deeper more authentic version of self care. Doing things you need to do to feel better, more centered, happy etc. For example instead of “ go to the gym” it’s” if I move my body today” or instead of “ I will clean the kitchen today” it’s “ I will spend x amount of time cleaning my space today. It’s a small commitment to yourself for that day. It made me more kind to myself. Not an chore or something to dread doing. But a small commitment to better yourself. I know I read somewhere that’s you should be 1% better everyday and I believe this helps you do that. Good luck! In terms of quality it great. The cover, the pages the color. All great. Just like it’s pictured. However mine did start to fall apart after a couple months. I think this would make a great gift to yourself or someone else. As with most things if you don’t take it seriously ot can’t make the commitment it won’t help you.

Functionality and Ease of Use in Journaling
I have only been journaling for a little over six months. The Five Minute Journal was purchased to help me get started with the journaling process. It has a very simple format to follow: Write 3 things you are grateful for. Write 3 things that would make the day great. Write a daily affirmation for yourself. Write 3 highlights for that day. Finish with what you learned from the day. This format helps focus your mind by getting you find things, regardless of how great or small they may be. The three things that might make the day even better act as markers that can help get you through the day. Will this journal change your life overnight? No. It will help you focus your outlook and expectations of life in more positive way. It is self reflective which can help identify and address things in your life that could use change. This Five Minutes Journal has helped make me more appreciative of life. My outlook is much better. The day goes a little smoother. It is easy to use. It does not give you a lot of writing space or require long drawn out passage. Using this tool is fun in the sense of its' ease of use. Its' functionality is what makes it a great tool for improving one's mind set. I would recommend this journal and plan on purchasing another in the next five months.

Transformative, Simple & Effective
I’ve been using the 5-Minute Journal for a few months now, and it has truly become a cornerstone of my daily routine. What I love most about this journal is how simple yet impactful it is. The prompts are straightforward, and they only take a few minutes to complete, but the benefits extend throughout the day. The morning prompts help me start my day with positivity and intention, while the evening reflections provide a grounding moment to acknowledge wins and lessons from the day. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my mindset, gratitude practice, and overall productivity since incorporating this journal into my life. The quality of the journal itself is excellent – the paper feels luxurious, and the hardcover is durable, making it a beautiful addition to my nightstand. Whether you’re new to journaling or a seasoned pro looking for a quick, effective way to stay mindful, I can’t recommend the 5-Minute Journal enough. It’s the perfect blend of simplicity and depth.

Such a Fun Idea
Got this as a gift for someone and he loves it. It helps him organize his thoughts of the day and got down some things from the day he is grateful for which has helped his stress level. Its so sturdy and great quality as well! Love the black simple cover.

A Daily Companion on the Path of Gratitude
The Five Minute Journal has seamlessly woven its way into my daily routine, and I find it to be an excellent companion on my spiritual journey. If you or someone you know values simplicity, consistency, and the transformative power of gratitude, this journal makes for the perfect gift. What sets The Five Minute Journal apart is its repetitive yet purposeful nature. It may ask the same questions day in and day out, focusing on gratitude rather than fostering creativity. This predictability, however, serves a higher purpose – creating a daily ritual centered around appreciation and mindfulness. If you're seeking a journal that encourages introspection and personal expression, this may not be the right fit. But if the aim is to cultivate a habit of gratitude, The Five Minute Journal excels in its simplicity. The structured format provides a steady rhythm to the day, offering a moment of reflection and intention-setting. I have personally found immense value in dedicating a few minutes each day to this journal. It acts as a gentle guide, reminding me to pause, appreciate, and infuse my day with positivity. The Five Minute Journal is a gem for those on a spiritual journey seeking a daily dose of gratitude. While its repetitiveness may not appeal to everyone, its simplicity and focus on gratitude make it a valuable tool for those who appreciate the beauty of routine. A thoughtful gift and a daily practice that brings mindful reflection to the forefront.

Can't stick to a journal? Try this one! Bonus: It will make you a more positive person!
I am guilty of having collected dozens of journals and notebooks throughout my life, with the same results every time: excitedly writing in them for a few days (or a few weeks if I'm lucky) and then slowly forgetting about them- mostly due to the amount of time and energy it takes to keep one up. If you're like me- this is the perfect answer! It truly takes 5 minutes to fill out the section and it is difficult to find an excuse NOT to do it each day. After giving up for years, I was prompted by the book "The Miracle Morning" by Hal Elrod (a great book!) to take up journaling/scribing and found this wonderful journal. A few things I love about this journal: 1) The through explanation of the science behind the carefully chosen daily prompts 2) The excellent quotes at the top of each day- they are carefully selected and truly motivational 3) The way it is clearly divided into a morning and an evening section 4) The beautiful cover- it feels like linen/cloth and it looks high quality and expensive The best thing about this journal is that if you follow it the way it is intended- filling it out upon waking and before going to bed everyday- it will re-center you and provide balance and positivity to your life. ________________________________ *The morning prompts are: I am grateful for: 1) 2) 3) What would make today great: 1) 2) 3) Daily affirmations. I am... *The evening prompts are: 3 amazing things that happened today: 1) 2) 3) How could I have made today better? _________________________________ Note: I like ending on a more positive note than focusing on what I didn't do well enough (even though that last question is phrased as positivity as possible), so I am considering adding my own question at the very bottom that says "What am I looking forward to tomorrow?" BOTTOM LINE: I genuinely look forward to writing in this journal twice a day. This is a journal I really see myself completing for the entire year, for the first time in my life. This is great for people like me who have difficulties sticking to something, who would like a stepping stone to a more traditional journal, or who just want to focus on the positives in life and are looking for a tool to assist in becoming an all-around more emotionally balanced individual.

Worth the price
I purchased this journal after reading The Miracle Morning, and it has been a wonderful addition to my daily routine. I was looking for something simple and intentional to help me focus on gratitude and positivity without feeling overwhelming, and this journal fits that perfectly. The Five Minute Journal is thoughtfully designed and very easy to stick with. It truly only takes a few minutes in the morning and evening, which makes it realistic to use every day. The prompts are meaningful and help shift my mindset toward gratitude, intention, and reflection without feeling repetitive. It encourages mindfulness in a gentle, approachable way. The quality is excellent. The pages are well made with thick paper, the layout is clean and calming, and it feels durable enough for daily use. It also makes the process feel special, not just like another notebook. Overall, this journal is an incredible value for the impact it has. It’s helped me be more present, positive, and consistent with my mindset practice. If you’ve read The Miracle Morning or are looking for an easy way to build a daily gratitude habit, I highly recommend this journal.

Imperfect journal but still worthwhile!
My fiance bought me this journal to help me focus on the good in life. Overall, there are some things I love about this journal, but there's also some things I hate quite a bit. Cons: 1. Not enough space at times. I find myself frequently running out of space in the "highlight of the day" section. 2. I found some of the writing in beginning section to be incredibly privileged and at times condescending. What kind of rich people wrote this? Example: "Late for work? Thanks for sharing. Journal anyway." I understand it's important to stick closely to habits, but it's absurd and hyperbolic to recommend that people risk losing their jobs to keep up a streak in their gratitude journal. It is OKAY to skip a day of a good habit because of extenuating circumstances. You can always get back up and keep going. Other examples of odd advice: for daily affirmations, they do suggest "I am" statements that teach you to speak positively about yourself, but they also literally suggest you write fake affirmations about yourself/things you do not have yet in the hopes of making them come true (IE: "I am earning 100,000 a year. I am in a loving healthy relationship with a partner of my dreams). Maybe this fanciful thinking works for some people but for me it just made me laugh at loud. If I wrote affirmations like that, all I would be doing is thinking about what I don't have yet- how is that practicing gratitude? That is manifesting, which is a totally different concept. Some really odd folks wrote the preface to this journal. Pros: 1. Beautiful journal made from recycled materials- luckily mine didn't come damaged like so many other reviewers experienced! 2. Morning and night routines are beneficial for anyone, but especially helpful for someone with ADHD. Incorporating the journal into my routines has been great so far and helps me start the day on a more positive note. 3. The journal feels like a reasonable size for easy transport when travelling. 4. I really like the mix of consistent habit with some variety - it is fun to wonder what you will get as the next weekly challenge!

Elegante e di aiuto
Ho comprato quello diario dopo averlo visto nelle mani di diverse influencer americane (sì, io vittima del marketing). Nonostante il prezzo elevato per un diario, ho davvero apprezzato l'articolo - che uso tutt'ora. E' diventata una buona abitudine sia di giorno che prima ad andare a dormire, e dedicarmi quei "cinque minuti", mi sta aiutando anche emotivamente. Bisogna solo avere un po' di costanza per vederne gli effettivi benefici. Lo consiglio se volete iniziare a dedicare del tempo a voi stess* consapevolmente. E' davvero ben fatto!

Świetna poranna rutyna
The Five Journal to mała książeczka, która potrafi zdziałać cuda. Na rynku istnieją tysiące produktów z zakresu self-help czy self-development i większość z nich to „kołczowskie” powtarzanie tych samych konceptów (które oczywiście mają prawo działać ale nie wnoszą nic oryginalnego) - w tym wypadku mamy doczynienia z krótkim (co pomaga utrzymać ciągłość) rytuałem, który jest poparty naukowo (autorzy poświęcili „sceptykom” (jak moja dziewczyna) i ciekawskim (jak ja) sporą część na wprowadzenie i objaśnianie elementów codziennego rytuału. W skrócie - polecam! To świetny sposób na rozpoczęcie i zakończenie dnia poprzez szukanie w nim pozytywów i małych szczęść.

year long gift
It is difficult to buy a gift for a tween granddaughter. I selected this journal because it encourages positive memories and gratitude. Something the world needs more of. Both my granddaughter and her parents loved it. I will be being two more for her siblings' birthdays. The pages are colourfully arranged and the morning and evening notations are short enough for am 11 year old to complete

Not a five minute job but a detailed wellness tool to own
A quality professionally published and professionally bound wellness journal. There are inspiring quotes thrown in here and there and a few pages explaining the principles behind the wellness ideas used throughout such as gratitude journaling and mindful affirmations. It says ‘fit edition’ but the bulk of the content is still general wellness. The only thing that differs slightly to other journals I have seen is that there are specific questions week by week in regards to fitness goals and how you will motivate yourself. There are a lot of different sections to get through and fill in for yourself in the early parts of the book but once you’ve got the bulk of it, the idea becomes that you fill in the same sheets, a mixture of daily/weekly templates. It’s a good way to hold yourself accountable once you get into it but I will say ‘the five minute journal’ gives the impression of simplicity where the reality is the whole idea of this journal will take some commitment. It’s not a five minute job. That’s not a criticism but just something to be mindful of when deciding if it’s for you. To me ‘the five minute’ analogy undersells the whole self-care consideration because we all deserve more than five minutes to work on being the best version of ourselves. At the time of writing this journal was priced at almost £30 which I thought was extremely expensive in comparison to similar things I have come across in the wellness paradigm. Price is the only major negative though.
