Start Where You Are: A Journal for Self-Exploration

Visually very beautiful book - just lovely. Bought as a Xmas present for my nearly 14 yr old niece. Lots of illustrated pages and loads of motivational quotes (but nice ones not corny ones!) and questions about how you see the world, what you want to achieve and how you can do it etc. This would be perfect for teenage girls btwn about 12-16 ish who are going through that difficult managing emotions stage or would also be nice for adults wanting a new start, or someone who has experienced a great knock to their confidence/self worth as a good place to assess their life and emotions. Very uplifting, almost spiritual book. Very enchanting. Would buy again as another gift.

Love this diary inordinate one every year perfect for self reflection and setting goals

I bought one for myself and I've ended up buying three more for a few of my friends! It's so well written, with beautiful quotes and illustrations. Gives exercises that are both thoughtful and interesting. Would highly recommend!

I got my niece the You Are A Unicorn journal ( You Are A Unicorn: The fun creative journal for everyone! ), then my sister wanted a copy as well. I got her Start Where You Are once she'd finished that. The book was a bit smaller than I expected, but it's really beautiful nonetheless. Great prompts and gorgeous artwork throughout by the amazing Meera Lee Patel. Her website is good too!

Whilst grieving a loved one this book has saved me and my sis highly recommend ! It’s a delight and a form of therapy

I just started this book but there's a lot of inspiring quotes and drawings. The book is well designed and the exercises are so very well crafted and designed. Simple, effective and colorful, it's my favorite journal for Self-Exploration so far. The size is also cute, I can carry it around in my bag super easily. Loving it!

I'm not sure just what I was expecting of this product to be honest. I suppose that it does what it says on the cover, but it comes across as uninspired and overly meditative. There are nicer journals like this out there, which include more interesting challenges. I got particularly annoyed with an instruction on one of the pages, so much so that I crossed it out and wrote a new one in its place. I will however say that the drawings and colours in this book are beyond gorgeous.

This has proven to be a really useful and meaningful tool. It really gets you to reflect on the positive in your life now and up to now, plus the larger world around you. The prompts are both interesting and even fun. Some are entries to write others get you to do, then reflect. It gets a little easier with the habit of doing each time I come back to this journal which I do almost daily. I would recommend you don't do them in order but instead do one that resonates with you that day and feels more manageable so as not to lead to self berating if you "fail" rather do what is helpful to you that day.

I'm loving this journey of self discovery. I do one page each day and it really helps to settle my thoughts.

Ein sehr schön gestaltetes und gut verarbeitetes Buch. Ich fülle ab und zu mal eine Seite aus und werde zum Nachdenken angeregt.

I love this journal so much. It was a great price and came in good time. Definitely worth buying

Cute

This version is the best with a good binding. It is the UK version of the book. The colours are very calming.
