The Contentment Journal

I'll update this after I use it, but I had to go ahead and leave a review as soon as I received this journal. I am teaching a journaling class this June, at a counseling clinic in my area. We recommend journaling for mental health and for overall clarity of thought, and I have been buying different types of journals to show all the different methods people use to journal. Gratitude, poetry, everyday books - I've bought lots of them. This journal is beautifully made - hardback, with a textured cover that just feels nice in the hands. It's a perfect size. Each prompt is well laid-out, obviously well thought-out, and each day seems to have adequate space for thought without seeming to be overwhelming. In between the three sections Rachel Cruz designed, there are full quote pages that are simply gorgeous. It's a real winner - and that's before I have even written a single word. I will be using this one for myself once the class is over.

My wife and I have really been enjoying The Contentment Journal. It is beautiful and well made. The questions/prompts really encourage us to think about all of the things that God has blessed us with. We have noticed that focusing on contentment has not only made our days better and more focused on God, but has also helped us in our baby steps. Our wants have gone down as our contentment goes up. My only complaint is that a journal should be lay flat. It makes a book a lot harder to write in when it doesn't lay flat. As I said, the journal is really well made, so I couldn't knock it a star, but I would definitely make it a lay flat book for ease of writing.

Order this now. Do it. Go. Do it. Now. Seriously, Rachel knocked it out of the park with this journal! To start, it’s such a pretty book. The binding and cover of it are so much more than just a “hard cover”. More important, what’s inside can change your life. That sounds cliché but it’s true. With the journal, writing through it on your way to choosing contentment, you can change your life. Contentment is a choice. We have so much to be thankful and Rachel helps you see that!

I LOVE the contents of this journal and how it encourages me to think about the little things - and the big things. A group of my friends and I are all doing it together and it gives us new, more positive things to talk about. The hard-cover of the journal makes it difficult to write it. I am artistic and I like to write pretty, add fun little doodles on the pages, etc. The only drawback of this book is the ease of use. I think it would be better as a softcover or even in a little binder where pages could be removed for journaling and then replaced. Being 3/4" thick, it cannot lay flat or stay open while writing. Great book with room for format-improvement. Would love if there was a corresponding app. :)

My husband and I each got a journal. We’ve been sitting down together each day, writing in our journals and sharing with each other. Throughout our busy schedules it’s really nice to come together and find something positive and upbeat to share with each other!The book itself is very well made, its elegant and classy without being overdone. The prompts each day are very helpful for someone who has not journaled before! Great job Rachel! Highly recommended

This book is amazing. Not only does it look beautiful, it's main goal is to help you live a life full of contentment. The pages are also so high quality. I'm writing with a gel pen and the ink doesn't smudge at all, the pages are a good thick paper. I recommend this to anybody, especially if you are following the Dave Ramsey plan.

I'm a fan of alot of Rachel's material, and she did it again with this journal. It is so nice and luxurious, something you'll want to keep for a long time. But it also allows you to dive deep into your thoughts and the prompts help guide your destiny toward gratitude. This is definitely one of my best Amazon purchases in a while. You will be on your way to a happier, healthier life if you buy this contentment journal.

This is a mostly blank book, except for lines to write on. I've seen much better journals like this out there. Cost too much money for what it is.

This is a well made journal with daily prompts to encourage you to think about all the different aspects of your life. It's well laid out with lots of room for your reflection. After using it for a week I'm already starting to reframe my thoughts to be more grateful.

Escribo en el diario de Contenment journal cada mañana mientras desayuno, y aunque todavía no lo he terminado, que la primera cosa que hago en el día sea agradecer me predispone a sacar lo mejor de mí durante el resto del día.Lo recomiendo.

A beautiful journal. A ribbon to mark the page, fabric bound cover, thick paper and plenty of space to write too. It had a feeling of luxury about it and is a lovely product.

I love the minimalistic design of this journal. The colours and the content is great! On day 3 :)

Looking forward to using this journal, and buying more as gifts! Very pleased!
