Well thought out
This is a really well thought out journal! It’s organized well. It makes sense. Easy to use. I am a big fan of smart goals so love seeing that in here! I like how it goes through each section at the beginning, reframing, balance, mindfulness, gratitude, then breaks it out into 12 weeks of practicing what we learned. It’s well worth the current ~$25 price point.

Nice journal
This is a pretty nice mental health journal. It looks like this company has three different versions of mental health journals that share some similarities and some differences. I’ve only personally gone through two of the three, but of the two, this one (Flourish) is the one I prefer.The front section of the journal has a good amount of content. It tackles specific topics and gives you information and prompts about each. I like that it has you not just read and absorb the information but that the prompts help you to actually put pen to paper and increase your comprehension as a result. It also allows you to apply that content specifically to your life and situation.The bulk of the journal, however, is the 12 weeks of daily journaling pages. The journaling pages do include prompts to help guide you if you don’t know what to journal about, though you of course have the open to just use it more freeform and write about whatever you want. Each week of daily pages is followed by a weekly page.Before you get to the daily and weekly pages, however, there are 4 monthly pages. I found it curious that the monthly pages were all grouped together, followed by the daily and weekly pages, but I guess if you wanted a quick and easy way to reference how your thoughts and feelings changed from month-to-month, then this layout makes sense.I also found it a bit strange that it includes FOUR months of prompts, but only 12 weeks of daily/weekly pages…which would work out to about 3 months. But I suppose if you use the first monthly page at the beginning of month 1, then you could use the month 4 page after the end of month 3 – so it would really wrap up the end of the 12th week and close out the journal (I hadn’t really thought that through until I started typing up this review…I just figured out the reasoning as I was writing this.)There are also habit and mood trackers, which seem pretty common in journals these days – but that are nice to have if you want to use them.The quality of the journal itself is good. The covers are solid and strong, and since it’s on a coil, you can completely flip the cover over if you want to just work on one side at a time – or of course you can lay it out flat and see both the left and right sheets at the same time.The paper is fine. It’s not thin, but it’s not super thick either. I’ve had journals with thicker paper, but I don’t actually have any complaints about the paper in this journal.I think for the the size, the content, and the thought that went into this journal that the current asking price of $19.97 is reasonable. I imagine that using the journals from this company in order might yield you the best benefit, but they can also be used independently. If you only plan to get one, I’d encourage you to carefully check out each one and grab the one that has the content that you think will be most useful to you. This Fluorish journal focuses on thoughts, positivity, mindfulness, etc. Those are all things I want to work on and improve, so this journal appeals to me in a big way.

One of the best mental health journals I’ve seen
I have ordered several journals on mental health over the last few years, and this is one of my favorites.While sometimes journals are a little low on content, this one is chock full of content and has plenty of room for your jottings. You can tell that the person who created the prompts and suggestions has been there and understands what you must reflect on during your mental wellness journey.This particular edition focuses on improving your mindset and helping you be more positive overall, which is definitely something I – and many of us, probably – could spend more time focusing on. On a practical level, I like the star rating for your mood, the place to list your goal for the day, affirmations, and reminders for tomorrow.The large spiral allows the pages to turn quickly (a pet peeve is sticking pages, so I was happy!). The pages do not bleed, which is always nice if, like me, you like to use a lot of different kinds of pens and markers. The cover seems durable, and I like the size because I can throw it in my tote bag or even one of my larger purses to take it with me.If you need something to inspire you, plenty is here. I am looking at the other journal, the “Discover” one, as I type this as I want that one, too! I am impressed by this journal maker and look forward to seeing what other versions of journals they will put out.

Wonderfully Simple
This is a great journal for someone who doesn’t want to feel super dedicated but begins the art of journaling for their own mental health and well-being. What I like most about this is that its modular and does not require to be filled in any one direction. There are plenty of prompts and a great way to begin journaling.
