6-Minute Diary Pure – 3-Million-Copy Bestseller Gratitude Journal for Women & Men – Guided Mental Health Journal Based on Positive Psychology – Daily Manifestation Diary for Self-Care & MindfulnessThe Forest Stewardship Council

I’ve always been a little sceptical of this kind of product. With self care becoming more of a trend than a genuine way of life, there are so many journals, books and self help guides out there, it’s hard to know what’s helpful and what’s just another fad.At a very difficult time in my life The 6-Minute Diary has quickly become a fundamental part of my day. It is a little pricey, but it’s also beautifully made, which makes holding and writing in it an absolute pleasure. It’s full of tips and directions to help you get the most out of it. It really does only take a few minutes of your time in the morning and the evening, so it’s easy to fit into even the busiest of days. The guided entry’s are very simple questions, so I don’t ever struggle to fill them in, but they do genuinely help you to reflect on what you want to get out of each day and how you could improve.In a couple of weeks of completing this diary, alongside some short guided meditations first thing in the morning, I have seen a huge shift in my mood and my behaviour. Setting targets for myself at the start of each day gives me focus and reminding myself of what I am grateful for gives me a positive outlook from the very start of the day.I don’t usually write such long reviews! But if you are sitting on the fence as to whether to buy this book (especially with the hefty price tag!) I would urge you to go for it! It’s definitely worth the extra few £s!

I have just finished my 6th 6 minute diary. I started with the original version, then 5 of the Pure version. It’s an amazing habit to develop. Every day I am grateful for what I have and the beauty around us. Spending time in nature.It gives me space time and focus. Each day I do the most important things, written down in the morning. Leaving me to enjoy my dog walk before starting the day. It helps personally and professionally. I have developed great habits and am always learning. It makes me do more good deeds.I highly recommend this to allI have bought over 30 copies for friends over the yearsTry it

I absolutely love this product. I started with the Six Minute Diary but was rather half-hearted about it - thinking it couldn't possibly be just six minutes a day... but it arrived and I filled it in that day ... and the next day... and the next day...I loved the daily quotes/affirmations; I loved the fact that the statements/questions are simple and straightforward and didn't make it feel like an exam or that there was a "wrong answer". I just love it.So much that as I filled it in one day.. then the next... then the next... I came to the end of it. I was delighted and disappointed all at the same time... so I immediately ordered the Six Minute Diary Plus... and am very much looking to not only continuing my morning and evening "journalling" (which has improved my focus on my life, my goals, what I will accept and what is unacceptable to me) and I have high hopes that "Plus" will allow me to continue to start and end each day in a positive, productive, pro-active mindset - which has had a massive beneficial impact on so many other aspects of my life.I'm going to end here because I know I'm beginning to sound evangelical about it... but I really can't recommend it highly enough. Buy it and tell yourself "I'll give it my best shot for a week"... don't look at the whole book and think I'll never get to the end... just tell yourself "seven days". That's what I did... but the first seven days were followed by the second seven days.. then the third ... and the fourth... and ... on those days where I couldn't fill it in first thing (with a cup of coffee in bed) ... I missed it. My day didn't "start right"... and on those rare occasions where I couldn't end my day positively reflecting on all the good things that had happened... I went to sleep with my heart that little bit less content .. and I couldn't hear my soul singing the lullaby that the diary created every evening.Buy it. Try it. I hope, like me, you'll love it.

I bought this to go with a couple of books for my children (the 5 minute diary for the eldest and the 3 minute one for the younger child)... My initial objective was to get them to be grateful for their dinner... even if it's NOT chicken nuggets... be grateful you have food, you have warmth, you have comfort, even if the dinner had REAL chicken in it, as well as mushrooms!!! ... and that seemed to work, we got over that, not entirely of course, but a lesson has been learned (somewhat) in that department...The unexpected by product of this experience however, is that THIS book grabbed my attention... it's not 'just' a gratitude journal which you write stuff down, it's the preamble, it's the all the information up front - the bit about why you're doing it in the first place...That's what hooked me...And then practicing the ritual with my daughters each day.And at first, it was clutching at the obvious; grateful for food, water, clothes, warmthBut then something started to change, unexpectedly so... I started to dig deeper and feel more positive...My gratitude now involves; realising my self worth and what I mean to my children, recognising what we have, not what we don't, grateful for opportunities and more meaningful, deeper reflection when it comes to positive affirmations....and one of my good deeds today, was simply 'Acceptance'... and 'Acceptance with grace'...I love this book.I have recommended and even bought copies for friends and colleagues...I am more positive, more energised, more determined and dare I say happier in myself... I didn't even realise I needed changing, my days had been focused on other people and things and work and jobs which needed doing, that I forgot myself along the way. But I'm back now... and it feels great :)
