Instant Happy Journal: 365 Days of Inspiration, Gratitude, and Joy

We bought 4 of these for myself, hubby and our kids. This has really helped with keeping a positive attitude. My husband has been going thru chemo treatments and we received word 3 weeks ago that there is no evidence of cancer remaining. Because we have been dealing with his health for the past year, we all have a journal that we can now look back on to remember things. We have concentrated on building family memories and will continue to do so.Fast shipping, product was in perfect condition.

I love this journal! I’ve converted it to a picture a day journal. I take a picture either with a camera, phone, or use an image that is relevant for that day and using a sprocket printer print the image and stick it on the page of the journal for that day. I then have a combination picture a day photo album and journal. It is so interesting to look back over time and the pictures really bring everything back to that moment. I’m going to buy another one for next year!

First, my favorite thing about this journal is that the dates aren't pre-filled in. You can write daily or you can do as I do, writing 3 or 4 days in a row, then not touching it for weeks. The prompts can be very challenging, but are always thought provoking. I do think that the title is stretching it a little. It can bring your mood up, but often it's definitely not a 'happy pill', but it does make you think which may put you on the trail back to happiness.I absolutely recommend it. Whether you're struggling with a mental illness/disorder, or you simply want a good journal with thoughtful, thought-provoking prompts, it's well worth it.

What a great journal! I bought one for my cousin for Christmas and loved it so much I got one for myself. Each page has a quote or a question to inspire you to think positively. One great thing is that the date line is blank, so you can do this every day, or once a week, without feeling like you've "fallen behind." This is a great little journal to help guide a positive mental attitude and I can't wait to get started. The only negative is that it's kind of a weird shape/size. It's pretty thick, having 365 pages, but is almost square in shape, instead of a more classic rectangular journal shape. Might be a little annoying to write in sometimes.

I always have a hard time sticking to journaling, but having a quote, question, etc. and some space to write has really helped me to make reflecting daily more of a habit. There’s only so much space to write, so I don’t feel overwhelmed and I do it right as I lay down to go to bed.

I scoured amazon looking for journals and out of all they have, I am happy to say that I am loving this one. I am so glad I chose to go with this journal. Some of the writing prompts really make you think and some make you laugh. Some are real simple, but gets thoughtful words out of you. It really is an instant happy journal, i found myself smiling while writing in certain prompts and it helps to get things off your chest which I know makes me happy. It is small enough that you can easily carry it with you, yet it still provides enough space to get your thoughts down. It leaves a blank space for the date at the top of each page, which I appreciate, because it didn't force me to start at a certain time. (That really might not matter to most, but I like writing in the dates myself) The pages are fun and I love that they include an attached ribbon bookmark so you don't have to flip through the pages until you find where you last stopped. I hope Karen Salmansohn is creative enough to come up with more versions of this journal that doesn't repeat all of the writing prompts in this one because I would purchase them all!

This is pretty good actually, most of the prompts were good at making me think about the last few days and be able to recount something to write about. Found it most helpful when I read the prompt the night before and tried to practice that the following day and then journal about it. I think that could be more explicit in the instructions, and it would be a better book.

Everyone should own one of this. Too often we focus on the negative rather than basking in the positive. This journal redirects our focus to the good, which in return helps us to feel happier and feel better about ourselves.

Bought this for my sister and then bought another copy for myself as it looked like fun to fill in. it does make me feel happier each day and is an excellent way for practicing mindfullness by making yourself focus on the positive.

This is wonderful. It has nice words and thoughts in it. I look forward to writing in it every day. Would recommend for anyone who suffers from stress or/and depression.

A lovely little to book to help restore positivity in everyday life.

Love this journal. Bought it for my sister and thought it was such a good idea that I bought myself one! I write in it most days :)

Best happiness journal I've found to date. The captions for each day are short, varied and really do help inspire your writing.
