The simple act of expressing gratitude and sharing with others also creates a hugely positive ripple effect, spreading kindness, optimism and joy.

HOW TO USE YOUR GRATITUDE JOURNAL

This journal is here to help you make time for gratitude. Spend a few minutes in it each day and grow your appreciation one day at a time.

Use it to reflect on your days, capture the positives, consider any silver linings you’ve discovered or things that made you smile. Think of the people in your life that you’re grateful for or a moment you shared. Celebrate your achievements and the wonderful experiences you’ve had. It could be something as simple as a great cup of tea or coffee in the morning or watching beautiful clouds pass by.

Let this journal remind you to enjoy the little things as well as the big things, with simple prompts to spark your inspiration each day. You can choose to journal daily, weekly, or whenever you like.

Whenever it is that you choose to put pen to paper, find somewhere you won’t be interrupted or distracted. It might be a simple ritual before bed each night or something you take with you to your favourite café or somewhere in nature.

We recommend embracing a gratitude practice daily so you can truly begin to feel the benefits. Whatever works for you, try to make a conscious effort to make it a part of your routine that you look forward to. Start with a moment of thanks, focus on the good around you and notice as your view of the world can change.

GOALS JOURNAL – SET, FOCUS AND REVIEW. A PROGRESS PLAN FOR YOUR GOALS! 

You truly can achieve everything you dream if you really set your mind to it – focus on what you want and you can make it happen.

Something wonderful also happens when you commit to putting pen to paper to write down your goals, whatever they may be. Doing so will inspire you to live with intention, to start every day with your intentions and goals in mind.

Let this journal (available in Black or Musk) help you to focus on what you want and stay on track with your goals every single day – for 90 focused days. Make progress each week, check in with yourself regularly and take steps each day to bring you closer to whatever it is you want to achieve.

WHY 90 DAYS?

A 3-month focus is the perfect balance between being long enough for you to make meaningful progress but not too long that you lose momentum, or your goals lose their relevance. It’s also long enough for you to focus on a couple of goals at a time if you wish!

KEY FEATURES

  • All-new Goals Journal format
  • Tips and exercises for setting goals and understanding what matters most to you
  • Space to record SMART Goals
  • 90 Daily Action and Review pages
  • Weekly Focus pages
  • Monthly Review pages
  • Inspiring quotes

HOW TO USE YOUR GOALS JOURNAL

What you do every day matters so much more than what you do once in a while, so we’ve designed this journal to help you commit your goals to paper and take action (however small or large) each day.

By recognising your goals – big and small, long-term or short-term – you’re turning them into something attainable, ready for you to action.

Use the pages of this journal to first consider what is important to you, what your values are, and let these guide you. By keeping your values in mind, you can ensure you’re living, and choosing goals, in alignment with what matters most to you, moving you ever closer toward your dreams.

You can then start setting your SMART goals and not only begin visualising yourself achieving them but begin planning and setting yourself Daily Actions to get you closer to your goals.

By putting pen to paper over a 90-day period, with regular Weekly Focus and Monthly Review moments to check in with yourself, this journal will help you stay on track and make daily progress.

As you journal each day, you’ll notice your goals becoming more tangible, and begin finding ways to turn them into reality. Remember, small progress is still progress, and by keeping yourself accountable each day, committing your goals to paper and checking in with them each morning and evening, you’ll be amazed at the progress you can make.

CALM JOURNAL – FIND YOUR MOMENT, EVEN IN THE BUSYNESS.  

We can all benefit from taking a mindful moment, whatever is happening around us, to welcome more space, peace and calm into our days. There’s no denying that our lives can get noisy, full and even overwhelming at times. Sometimes this noise and hustle and bustle can start to take over a little more than we’d like, increasing our stress and anxiety levels, interfering with our day-to-day wellbeing and our ability to maintain a clear head and focus.

By working on a calmer mindset, you’ll notice an improvement in so many areas – your focus and concentration can improve, making you more efficient and productive each day; your patience and tolerance may increase, and you’ll sleep better, giving you more energy and a greater sense of wellbeing every day.  

Which is why we’ve filled this journal with tips and techniques you can try to help you quiet your mind, relax your body, take important moments to check in with yourself, identify how you’re feeling and hopefully welcome more calmer moments and joy into your days.

KEY FEATURES

  • Tips and techniques for embracing a calmer mindset
  • Mindfulness activities and techniques
  • Meditation exercises
  • Lined, dot and grid pages for journaling, reflecting and capturing your thoughts
  • Inspiring quotes

HOW TO USE YOUR CALM JOURNAL

For many of us, some days are easier than others when it comes to embracing a calmer mindset. During high pressure times or overly full schedules, it may seem almost impossible to find a calm moment, and yet these are often the times we need to do just that – take a moment to check in, quiet our thoughts, regroup and breathe.

We’ve created this journal to help you explore more mindful practices and calming activities and discover the right methods for you. Let the tips and ideas throughout inspire you to put yourself first, slow down and as you move through the pages of this journal, make time to try out the tips and techniques suggested to help you on your journey.

Some of the ideas may resonate with you, some may not. That’s okay. Put pen to paper as you go and write it all down. Write your feelings, thoughts, notes and discoveries on the blank pages provided.

The simple act of sitting down to put pen to paper, allowing yourself to be truly in that moment, aware of how you’re feeling is a mindful act in itself.

Whether it’s a simple breathing technique, setting yourself a daily routine, living more mindfully each day or welcoming more ‘you time’ into your world, it is possible to embrace a calmer outlook and mindset as you go about your days. Let our new Calm Journal help you quiet your mind, relax your body, identify how you’re feeling and welcome a calmer mindset.
