Reclaim Joy by Emine Rushton is a book/journal of simple daily activities to help one increase joy and promote mindfulness. Nice gift for a close friend. #ReclaimJoy #NetGalley

I really liked this one! I can't wait to purchase it and use it. Journals help me deal with my depression and I really liked a lot of the prompts in this one!

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC!

A delightful book that encourages the reader to find joy in the everyday. There are 365 ideas which include fun, mindful and showing gratitude activities. The reader is invited to rediscover their inner child and get in touch with their creative side. This is a workbook, so each page has plenty of space for notes, pictures and doodles. A lovely and inspiring book.

A bit like an activity book for adults, this is chock full of questions, lists and drawing/coloring prompts meant to promote mindfulness and help you get in touch with what makes you happy. This would be a fun and and useful book for anyone who wants to start learning about mindfulness but doesn't know where to start, feels overwhelmed or wants to approach it from a different direction. It's a fun, concise place to keep track of information that you can use to center yourself when spiraling. You can fill it all out fast and look back on it when needed or you can work through it slowly. It's an excellent resource either way.

(Definitely needs to be bought as a print book, doesn't really work as an ebook.)

In Reclaim Joy, Rushton has put together a fine compilation of daily activities meant to increase joy, gratitude, and confidence. The book is laid out in workbook fashion with 365 activities to try and could be a great addition to any gratitude or journaling practice. While many of the tasks include some aspect of writing, others are more oriented toward mindfulness (e.g., choose a color and seek out things in your world that are that color throughout the day). I really liked the simplicity in the tasks laid out and am looking forward to adding this practice into my morning routine!

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Thank you for the change to review this journal! I am grateful for the opportunity to provide some feedback.

"Reclaim Joy" aims to be a "guided joy to discover simple pleasures every day." I read through some of the many prompts (356). Some of my favorite prompts were about the home. Having spent so much time indoors due to the global pandemic, I have been rethinking the way I utilize my space. Some of the prompts were really helpful in this section. One of the biggest strengths of the prompts: they are realistic and useful. Further, I think that the layout is gorgeous. The design and illustrations are very beautiful, right up my alley in terms of style. There are some really unique prompts that involve drawing as well as writing. At the end of the journal, there are further resources about happiness, nature, and creativity. I definitely think this would be a neat gift OR something to buy for yourself..... especially if something like for a New Year's resolution or goal setting. :-)

This is a very unique journal, unlike most that I have seen before. I loved how many graphics there are throughout it and how different each of the prompts are. Great modern journal to help bring joy daily!
