Start Where You Are: A Journal for Self-Exploration

This has proven to be a really useful and meaningful tool. It really gets you to reflect on the positive in your life now and up to now, plus the larger world around you. The prompts are both interesting and even fun. Some are entries to write others get you to do, then reflect. It gets a little easier with the habit of doing each time I come back to this journal which I do almost daily. I would recommend you don't do them in order but instead do one that resonates with you that day and feels more manageable so as not to lead to self berating if you "fail" rather do what is helpful to you that day.

Visually very beautiful book - just lovely. Bought as a Xmas present for my nearly 14 yr old niece. Lots of illustrated pages and loads of motivational quotes (but nice ones not corny ones!) and questions about how you see the world, what you want to achieve and how you can do it etc. This would be perfect for teenage girls btwn about 12-16 ish who are going through that difficult managing emotions stage or would also be nice for adults wanting a new start, or someone who has experienced a great knock to their confidence/self worth as a good place to assess their life and emotions. Very uplifting, almost spiritual book. Very enchanting. Would buy again as another gift.

Lovely illustrations. Maybe a little old for the teen I purchased it for but I thought anybody would enjoy writing in it because it's so pretty. You don't have to write about what they say!

I just started this book but there's a lot of inspiring quotes and drawings. The book is well designed and the exercises are so very well crafted and designed. Simple, effective and colorful, it's my favorite journal for Self-Exploration so far. The size is also cute, I can carry it around in my bag super easily. Loving it!

Cute little book, I love the colourful drawings and inspirational quotes in it. The journalling part is simple, and easy to do in a few minutes here or there when you have the time. I was hoping that the journalling aspect would have been a little more in-depth, but I quite like it for what it is.

Great little journal. I bought it for a friend as a gift to help keep her entertained while she is home recovering from an operation and she loves it. The prompts on each page make it very easy to think of things to write and its all very well thought out. Only thing is I wish there was an extra blank page between each page with a question as my friend finds that she has to limit her written reflection to just that one page. But its a great book!

Like: beautiful artwork, activities are fun and thought provoking, concept of converting negative emotions into positive outcomes promotes emotional healing, future orientated goals puts your personal growth and development in motion on a micro scale, highly recommended for those suffering from depression in combination with self care books.Dislike: nothing to dislike, I only wish the book was thicker!

I'm not sure just what I was expecting of this product to be honest. I suppose that it does what it says on the cover, but it comes across as uninspired and overly meditative. There are nicer journals like this out there, which include more interesting challenges. I got particularly annoyed with an instruction on one of the pages, so much so that I crossed it out and wrote a new one in its place.I will however say that the drawings and colours in this book are beyond gorgeous.

This book is the perfect gift for anyone who is going through change or likes self reflection. It is my go-to gift for graduations.

Ein sehr schön gestaltetes und gut verarbeitetes Buch. Ich fülle ab und zu mal eine Seite aus und werde zum Nachdenken angeregt.

J'ai acheté ce journal, parce que j'en ai toujours voulu un, mais je ne suis pas assez créatif pouren créer un personnel, alors j'ai décidé d'essayer celui-ci comme aide pour démarrer.C'est très agréable et on vous pose beaucoup de questions, mais j'ai l'impression quevous n'avez pas assez d'espace pour y donner une touche personnelle.

I love this journal so much. It was a great price and came in good time. Definitely worth buying

Ne avevo sentito parlare e mi aveva incuriosito. L'ho acquistato e mi è subito piaciuto, per il formato, i colori le illustrazioni contenute all'interno. Sono molto soddisfatto.
