We believe so! While forming any new habit requires intention and consistency, we’ve designed our journals to be as easy and flexible as possible. The format is simple, allowing you to tailor it to fit your needs and lifestyle.

If you're using our family gratitude journal, we encourage you to approach it with an open mind and remember it might take some time to find what works best for your family, especially with younger children. But no matter what, we truly believe in the power of gratitude and the impact of starting young!

Our journals are perfect for moms, beginners, or anyone looking to start an intentional journaling practice.

Whether you’re new to journaling or looking for a simple, effective way to cultivate gratitude and intention, our journals make it easy to get started and stay consistent.

Absolutely – we are living proof! There have been numerous studies showing the powerful benefits of journaling. Here are just a few:

• Reduce stress and anxiety – Journaling helps release pent-up emotions, which can also boost your immune system.
• Improve mindset and emotional intelligence – Writing helps you better understand and manage your emotions, leading to greater emotional control.
• Cultivate gratitude and excitement – A regular journaling practice fosters a deeper appreciation for life, enhancing overall positivity.
• Enhance memory and cognitive function – Journaling can improve focus, clarity, and memory retention.
• Strengthen connections – Journaling allows for a deeper connection with yourself and others.
• Gain self-awareness – Journaling provides insight into your fears, stressors, thought patterns, and triggers, helping you understand yourself better.
• Boost overall well-being – Consistent journaling promotes a positive shift in your mental and emotional state.

With all these benefits, it's no wonder journaling is such a transformative practice!

A few (scientifically proven) benefits of practicing gratitude daily include:

• Enhance long-term happiness by helping you focus on the good in your life
• Boosts self-esteem by helping you feel good (or better) about your life and circumstances
• Increases feelings of optimism
• Strengthens relationships

This is why we included a gratitude section in our journal!

The most important part of starting is choosing a time that will work for you, the majority of days.

Our journals are designed with ease and flexibility in mind and are able to be used at any time of day - you don't need a lot of time but you do need a commitment and desire. 

When first starting out, challenge yourself to journal everyday for one week (set a reminder in your calendar if you need to). This will help you get into the practice of journaling. You can write in complete sentences, stream-of-consciousness or in bullets for each prompt - do what feels best for you so that it will be easier to stay consistent.

We recommend journaling at least 3 times per week for best results (but we understand that life happens so when you get out of routine - just dive back into it!)

Consistency is key when it comes to journaling (or anything, for that matter). The more consistent you are with journaling, the more lasting benefits you'll experience!

Our journals each have six months worth of journaling pages. That being said, most people use their journal, on average, 3 - 4 times per week (2 - 3 with the family one). This means your new journal will last around a year.

We're big believers in getting all that's in your head - out! In our experience, that's how you'll experience the most benefits of journaling. 

Do what you need to do in order to achieve this — is it writing in your journal and then immediately tearing out and discarding the page? Is it hiding it in a drawer? Other people find it helpful to write illegibly and focus on the process of releasing everything from your head and less on what is actually being written. Do what you need to do!

This is very much a personal preference. We like to keep our journals as a keepsake or for reflection down the road while other people discard their journals when they're done. If you'd like to discard your journal, you can tear out the interior pages to recycle.
