“I start and end my day with The Five Minute Journal. It really only takes five minutes a day. I love it!” – Mimi Ikonn
The Five Minute Journal has been created by combining the proven elements of positive psychology that can make all of the difference in your life.
WHY YOU’LL LOVE THE FIVE MINUTE JOURNAL:
1. It’s the simplest, most effective thing you can do everyday to be happier.
It’s been proven over and over again that shifting your focus to the positive can dramatically improve your happiness. The key is consistency. With a positive quote every day, a weekly challenge and a structure to help you focus on what’s good, you’ll find The Five Minute Journal to be a great way to start and end the day.
2. It’s built on proven principles on positive psychology.
Somehow, it took psychologists as a community about 80 years or so to realize it’s better to focus on the positive behavioural traits as opposed to depression, anxiety and perceptual disorders. This journal has been created by combining the practical elements that can make the difference in your life. You’ve been spared the hours and weeks of moving through dense academic jargon. It’s all here. And it’s been made easy.
3. It’s a journal for people who don’t write journals.
If you’re the kind of person who always wanted to write a journal, but life, excuses and email took precedence, look no further. The Five Minute Journal was designed for you. Whatever your excuse for not keeping a journal is, this notebook will eliminate them.

As a father of 3 children under the age of 6…as a small business owner…as a full time employee…as a husband…as a human, this journal is exactly what I needed. I started the journal and the daily practice of writing in it about 3 weeks ago, and IT IS WORKING!
I’ve found myself to be much more patient around my kids, more focused at work, and just generally happier in life.
I write about what I’m grateful for, and the person that I want to be, and how I could have been better, and it’s true…it literally takes 5 minutes.
I’ve tried the practice of journaling before, and although I’ve had every intention of keeping up with it, I inevitably fall short. This journal however is different. It’s guided, and it focuses on the key areas of our lives that we should be thinking about if we want to maximize our experiences and live our life to the fullest.
The guided areas of writing are based on research in the field of positive psychology, and although I may not be able to tell you what sort of dopamine, serotonin, and other hormones that are being unleashed in my brain as I write, I can say that it is making a notable difference in how I see the world, what I choose to focus on, and most importantly how I talk and react to my children.
On top of this, about 5 days after I purchased the journal I received an e-mail from the 5-min Journal team, asking if I would be open to spending some time on the phone with UJ Ramdas (co-author). I said yes…thinking it was going to be a call where someone offers me coaching sessions or some other type of up-sell, but it was the exact opposite. UJ just wanted to know about me, and my journey, and if I had any feedback on how to make the journal better. And then…if that wasn’t enough…
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.
