So good.
I chose this book after sifting through tons on Amazon and it’s exactly what I wanted. Most books I didn’t go for because most of them were too basic, or very “Live, Laugh, Love” woo woo stuff.I got this book as part of a self-care maintenance routine I’m building. I have done CBT for about 7/8 years and I’m transitioning into more self-sufficient self work, because I’m in a place where I’m feeling really good and like it’s time to move on from doing therapy (for now; part of what I’m working on is also creating a list of red flags that I need to stay aware of, that way if I ever DO need to go back to regular therapy, I’ll know what to look for.)I was looking for some kind of prompt-based journal to make into a weekly habit that had these qualities:1.) Simple. Something I won’t stress out over doing every single day, because then I won’t do it. Something that lends itself to being done at my own pace. I didn’t want to add assignments into my life that I can use as a weapon to beat my head against for not “keeping up”.2.) Meaningful, practical, insightful prompts appropriate for someone who has already done self work/therapy. A lot of the stuff out there is pretty 101 basic, which is absolutely awesome for beginners in therapy/self care stuff, but I needed something beyond that.*I do want to note that this book is still suitable for beginners, too! I would feel comfortable recommending it to anyone regardless of their experience with working on their mental health. The prompts are so well done that they can be valuable to anyone at any level of learning self care.3.) None of that “positive vibes” nonsense.So far, I’ve done a few of the prompts and I am SO absolutely stoked about this book. The prompts genuinely accomplish their purpose, and I can follow along and answer the questions as they are, rather than pushing myself to think beyond what is being presented to me. The prompts can be trusted to do the work they are meant to do. The consistent format is powerful. It’s great that not only do you reflect on your experience and feelings, you demonstrate and observe real examples to/of yourself. Even though the prompts are so thought-invoking, they are still simple and un-intrusive, and I take a lot of comfort in that. I have found the most therapeutic practices end up being the most simple, and more simplicity=less mental exhaustion. Perfect for me, because I have a tendency to take healthy things and hobbies, and make them into jobs that stress me out.I just ordered a copy for my best friend who has similar experience with therapy and I am so happy I can give her a gift like this. Absolutely adore it, and feel super grateful towards this author, who is also a WOC and I love that. Will def look into getting more stuff from her.If you aren’t sure if it’s for you, just fill out the sample prompts they have on here in the book preview on a piece of paper and see how it makes you feel. There’s a few on here, so you can give the book a ‘test-run’ over a few days/weeks. I feel great about this purchase and the contribution it’s making to my life. Also, if you’re looking into getting stuff like this, you’re awesome!!! It’s so wonderful that you’re taking care of you. You deserve it and we all deserve it.

I didnât realize that there were so many things to journal about!
I really like this journal. I like that the author breaks down each journal exercise into three parts: focus, reflect and do. I know when I journal it is easy to focus on the problem at hand. So I am glad that the author encourages the reader to not stop there by giving an area of focus and then a challenge to move forward. Iâve flipped through this book and see so many topics that resonate with me. The topics can be used for writing in a personal journal notebook. I work in mental health and think this would be a good resource to share with clients who might want to journal to help them reflect and move their pain. I do wish that the pages were numbered but I am not sure if itâs common for the pages in journals like this to be unnumbered. And the graphics are al beautiful! The graphics go well with each journal exercise. I am enjoying this and have already shared it with others on social media!

Love the content of this journal!
I enjoyed the writing prompts and the quotes in this book. I chose to use a separate blank journal to do the writing exercises. Very thought provoking prompts. My only complaint is the wide shape of the paperback book. I feel that it is kind of awkward when holding and trying to read.

Helpful
I sent this as a gift to my daughter and she likes the prompts.

Not What I Expected
I purchased this book thinking it would help me feel good, like a positivity or gratitude journal. It is not. It is more of a journal to make you self reflect and think deeply about your life’s decisions. Like, what foods do you eat and how does that serve you? What kind of relationships are in your life and are any of them toxic? The very first page asked about my “intuition,” and I had no clue what the author was talking about.As I told my friend who I also bought this book for (and was also having difficulty answering the questions), “I want a guided journal that helps me feel good, not figure out how to become a better person.”

We need self care now more than ever.
I purchased this book after following GG Renee for years. Her work as a workshop facilitator and writer are brilliant. She has the ability to lead you through exercises that heal, expand your mind, and help you draw to the forefront what’s most important to you. Her newest guided journal is no different. I love that the prompts have action items. Not just writing about what you feel on a particular subject but how you can practically utilize those things in your life to care for yourself and your well being. GG is the real deal and I’m looking forward to more work from her!

A Gift to the World!
While self-care has become a buzz word these days, Self-Care Check-In is a practice that has now been called to our attention by the author. I started with the first exercise where I encountered a very rich journaling experience. The Reflection revealed my humility. Focus was simply a garden of blooming connections that I was able to name one by one in the Do exercise. GG Renee Hillâs book is a gift to the world that can spark some of the greatest conversations that you will have with yourself.Faye Harvin

This is the book I never knew I needed! I absolutely love it.So well thought out, so unpretentious, so structured.I have an extra journal on the side with this, a lot of people have said there isn’t enough writing space in it! But that is fine. I just write a little bit more in an extra journal.So my tip is to order five journals with it or something because as the writer says in the introduction, a lot of these prompts may be “the birthplace of other ideas and beginnigs”.

A book that gets you thinking.But not that helpful, personally.A lot of the questions are similar or donât make sense to me.Not the best attitude towards food.

There is nothing really wrong with this journal, it is just not filled with what inspires me personally. I am new to journaling so perhaps that is why. I would still recommend.
