Ok, we’ll cut to the chase: keeping a journal is hard work.
Committing 20 minutes a day to get down your thoughts can quickly start to feel like a slog, especially without prompt or if you spent the day (or plan on spending the day) in a blanket cocoon eating noodles.
So, if your 2024 New Year’s resolution was to be more present, more reflective and keep a journal, and if you’ve already fallen off the wagon with it, then we may have the solution for you.
We’ve found the ultimate helping hand when it comes to documenting your day, thoughts and ambitions in a way that is actually beneficial – and most importantly, easy to stick to.
Yes, this may be the best time of year for the 6-Minute Diary to cross our screens.
Change your mindset (and maybe even your life!) with the 6-Minute Diary (Picture: Amazon)According to the brand, the main goal of this diary is to help us achieve a happier and more fulfilled life.
Big claims for a little book, but with 5,400 five-star reviews and over 600 sold in the past month, it’s clear Amazon shoppers are loving it.
‘This has been a game changer for me,’ one five-star reviewer wrote. ‘Self-reflection is essential to self-improvement, and this has created a positive base for that.
‘Having used it for several months, I recommend it to everyone. The answers to your best self are internal, and this helps you reach there. What more do you want?’
The main aim of this popular book is to help you communicate with yourself through targeted self-reflection, help you find out what really makes you happy, and then build positive habits around them – such as gratitude, optimism, and daily self-love.
The brand reckons that instead of relying on motivation, you should rely on small, constant routines which should make you stronger over time.
Therefore, each page is split into two – a three-minute morning routine and your a minute evening routine, with five questions to help you reflect at the end of the week.
Your morning routine is all about setting yourself up for a great day as it asks you to reflect and write down three things that you’re grateful for on that day, a few lines on how you’re planning on making your day great, followed by a positive affirmation for the day.
The evening routine is focused on reflecting – asking you to write down a good deed, a plan for improvements and three great things you experienced.
By starting the day with motivation, thinking about your intentions, and finishing the day reflecting on the positives, you’re set to make each day that much better than the last.
The creators of this nifty little diary have transformed complex research results into a simple idea: that a small daily effort can make a large impact.
The result should be a calmer and more positive mindset, greater motivation and thus success rate, less stress and greater clarity.
Bliss.
