How to choose a journal

Journaling is a practice that can benefit anyone. But sometimes being faced with a blank page is a little daunting. That’s why we created our guided journals – to make putting pen to paper a breeze. Our journals are designed to help spark inspiration, filled with prompts, insights and ideas. You can even personalise the cover for extra motivation, or as a thoughtful gift for someone you love. We’ve prepared this quick and simple guide to help you pick a journal that you’ll want to finish.

Why journal?

Putting pen to paper improves your wellbeing – from better sleep to a clearer mind. It can also help you build healthy habits, achieve your goals or develop new hobbies. A guided journal means you don’t have to decide what to write, but can simply follow the prompts, making it easier to build into a soothing daily habit. If you prefer the freedom of blank pages, a notebook may be a better fit for you.
