It combines mindfulness, CBT-inspired tools, and goal-setting frameworks to support personal growth.

  3. How much time do I need to spend journaling each day?
    Around 12 minutes a day - 6 minutes in the morning to set your intentions and 6 minutes in the evening for reflection and gratitude. This will depend on how much time you want to give it, but it's approximately 12 minutes.
  4. What does the phrase “Higher Self” mean?
    Your Higher Self is the most authentic, expansive, and evolved version of you. It’s the part of you that’s free from ego, connected to your inner wisdom, and aligned with your deepest truth.

    No experience is necessary! The journal is thoughtfully designed with guided prompts, exercises, and tools to help you, whether you’re new to journaling or familiar with CBT techniques.

Practical Use

  1. Do I have to complete the deep dive before starting the daily journal?
    Yes, the deep dive is an important part of the journey. It’s designed to be completed in the first week to help you get clear on your goals and intentions, align with your Middle Pillar and Higher Self, and set yourself up for success over the next 90 days. The time this takes will vary, so set time aside. We love to take our time with it, but it's a very personal activity.

Think of it as laying the groundwork for your glow-up! Skipping it could make it harder to get the most out of the journal, so take the time to dive in—it’s all part of the process and will help you grow and flow over the 90 days.

  1. How is the journal structured?
    The journal includes daily AM and PM journaling pages, reflective prompts every 10 days, a goal-setting framework, self-therapy tools inspired by CBT, and exercises to help you re-meet yourself, explore your mind garden, and align with your Higher Self.
  2. Can I start the journal at any time?
    Yes! The journal is undated, so you can begin your 90-day journey whenever you’re ready.
  3. Do I need anything else to use the journal?
    Just a pen, an open mind, and a willingness to commit to yourself for 90 days! Optional: You might also enjoy a quiet space, calming music, or a cup of tea to make your journaling practice even more enjoyable.
  4. What if I miss a day?
    That’s okay! Life happens, and the journal is here to support you, not stress you. Simply pick up where you left off and continue your journey without guilt. The journals aren't dated, therefore you choose the journey, and date it as you go. We have provided a 90-day container and recommend staying consistent to get the best results.

About the Approach

  1. What is the “Middle Pillar” method?
    The Middle Pillar represents the space where you feel most aligned, balanced, and in flow with your Higher Self. The journal guides you to discover your Middle Pillar and use it as your inner compass.
  2. How does the journal help with mental health?
    The journal incorporates tools inspired by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices to help you process emotions, reframe thoughts, and develop healthier habits. While it’s a supportive resource, it’s not a replacement for professional therapy.

Sustainability

  1. Is the Higher Self Journal made from sustainable materials?
    Yes, sustainability is important to us! The Higher Self Journal is made with responsibly sourced paper and is recyclable. We are committed to minimising our environmental impact while creating a high-quality product.
  2. How should I dispose of my journal?
    Your journal is a keepsake of your 90-day journey, and many people choose to keep theirs to reflect on their growth and progress over time. However, if you prefer to let go of it, here are a couple of meaningful options:
  • Fire Ritual: Consider creating a personal ceremony for yourself through burning your journal as part of a fire ritual. This can be a powerful way to symbolically release emotions, experiences, or parts of your journey that you’re ready to let go of and release any attachments. This may be something you do at any given time. You may choose to hold on to your journals for a period of time, and complete the ritual when you feel it's time. Please ensure you do this safely and in a well-ventilated, controlled environment. If doing this outside, do not harm nature, wildlife or leave any damage.
  • Recycling: If you choose to recycle your journal, remove any non-paper elements (like stickers or clips) and recycle the rest responsibly. This is a sustainable option for those who prefer not to keep their journal.

The choice is yours - do what feels most aligned with your journey and intentions.
