Vertellis Chapters | 13-Week Self Care Journal | 3-IN-1 Gratitude Journal, Inspirational Writing Notebook, & Guided Diary with Posters | Daily Reflection Journal for Mindfulness. Hardcover

I love this journal! This is the second one I’ve bought. It’s a nice way to end the day and reflect on what I’m grateful for and what I learned that day. I like the little daily prompts and I also like the prompts that are the same everyday. It’s neat to look back and see how my answers change over time. I recommend this for a quick daily journal entry. It’s a good way to stay mindful and practice gratitude.

Several reviews have negatively noted the repetition in some sections. There’s some repetitive reflection, yes. But, it’s important to remember that repetition aids habituation. The use of repetition is not a mistake or a fault, it’s done with good intention to help one (or further help one) develop a healthy habit or helpful way of being with themselves. It’s done to help reinforce a new way of thinking. When you see your thoughts on paper, perhaps saying a negative or defeatist thing again and again, or now you’re aware of positive self talk happening, it really helps one check in with oneself.

With undated pages, open-ended questions, and just enough room to answer thoroughly but simply, Vertellis' guided journal is a helpful tool for reflection. The Vertellis team has chosen questions that remain relevant, so if you complete one Vertellis journal, you can start on another and continue to grow.The pages take ink well and offer just enough tooth, while the quality hardback binding looks like it will last for years.Overall, a thoughtful design that has been executed well, and a help for those of us who could use some guided reflection.

I just received my new Vertellis Chapters today, and so yes, I have not fully immersed myself in this product.I love the content in the journal and I look forward to working my way through it in the weeks ahead.One thing I noted is that the paper is thin. I have been using a fountain pen in a different journal, but will go back to a ballpoint for this journal as I am sure the fountain pen ink would bleed through.I hope you will consider using a higher quality, heavier paper in future editions.

I love this journal some bought one as a gift as well. It's uplifting. It's not like a normal journal it asks questions, makes you think, gives you uplifting quotes and suggestions on how to make the best of each day. I make it a point to write in it as soon as I wake and finish it out before bed. Anybody trying to better themselves, stick to goals I highly recommend

I love this product so much. I often do not leave myself to stop and reflect on my day/week, but am usually thinking ahead to the next thing. This gives me a chance to be present and pause so I can realize how blessed I am and what things I should work on/change. It only takes a few minutes to fill out but it has been helping me improve my positivity!

This seems like a perfectly adequate journal for prompting rudimentary daily self-reflection. If the authors had just stuck to providing minimal prompts, the journal would have been fine, if undistinguished. Unfortunately, there are two aspects of the journal that are hard to overlook: the language is stilted and weird, as though it was translated into English by someone who doesn't speak the language fluently. Worse, most days' pages open with quotes or pithy sayings, all of which are unattributed; studies are referred to and anecdotes retold, but there are no citations of any kind. I understand that many people don't care about these omissions, but they bother me enough that I certainly wouldn't purchase another product from this brand.

This is like a guided self study. The topics are thought provoking and help you become more cognitive of your thoughts and actions. Writing your responses is. a great way to track your growth!
