St. Martin's Press Present, Not Perfect: A Journal for Slowing Down, Letting Go, and Loving Who You Are

For someone struggling with a busy life and constantly overthinking, doing one page a day provides 5-10 minutes of valuable reflection. The colorful artwork and positive quotes are eye catching and keep my attention, which is important for someone like me who can get bored easily.The different activities address different issues such as narrowing down too many tasks, finding beauty in an everyday object/task, and practicing self appreciation. As you work and think through the activities, you gradually adapt a more present mindset.

Muy inspirador, es un libro que te invita a escribir, si no tienes ni idea de por donde empezar a escribir un diario y eres una persona muy ocupada como yo, esto perfectoo para ti!! Me encanta el concepto de diario guiado con ejercicios cortitos pero bien pensados, si las paginas fueran mas grandes seria aun mas comodo para escribir

I did a gratitude journal last year when covid-19 hit the city. I finished it but to some degree I felt I was a bit forced to do the journal because everyday it asked me to write what I was grateful for. Yes I did have lots of blessings in my life but I started feeling that I was doing the gratitude journal like an obligation, repeating similar things everyday without fully enjoying it.This journal is quite different - every page has different design, new quote, new color, new activity, new questions, etc. I get curious about my next reflective journal activity every day, and it’s very enjoyable. It made me reflect on many things - it truly make me slow down, let go and re-think about who I am. I even recommended my team to get one for themselves!

I was hoping this journal would help order my thoughts a bit, and the book seems to get them on the right track. The art is nice and the text is pretty to read. I would have liked a bit more structure for thought processes.

Gave this journal as a present & it was a lovely surprise. Very happy with this item.
