I Am Here Now: A Creative Mindfulness Guide and Journal

I've had the book for about two weeks now. I pick it up every couple days and do a few of the mindfulness exercises. It helps me focus on the now. I'd like to do it everyday and plan on working towards that. I'd say that the book is geared more towards beginners Of mindfulness. I'd consider myself a beginner, I'm really enjoying the book. It's has cute and quirky quotes, drawings and exercises to get and keep you in the now.

Purchased as a gift and now want to purchase for myself. There’s so many creative prompts to pass the time and ground yourself. Even if you’re not necessarily into the mindfulness aspect there’s still a lot to gain and it keeps you busy.

I am so happy with this little book! I love that it's pages are thick enough that I can write draw, and color on them with my gel pens and they do not bleed through each page. The book is full of mindfulness exercises that range from super simple to really make you think. The book has a lot of helpful deep breathing and meditation tips as well as a link for a guided meditation and a field notes section for your meditation. I am impressed with this book and will be buying another for a gift for a close friend!

This book is helpful for those of us with anxiety. I use it when I can't seem to focus on anything around me. The activities inside of it are grounding, vary widely, and are also very well thought out. I appreciate this book so much.

Recommended to me by a therapist, and I'm a big fan. I've always been someone afraid to annotate in books, but the casual yet kind approach the writing takes makes it less of a big deal.

I LOVE this book! It has exercises to help one practice being mindful - to help strengthen that mindfulness muscle. It arrived rather quickly and I was so excited when I seen that it came. As I was flipping through the pages, I thought, 'Wow! This is no run-of-the-mill activity book like others I've seen!' I cannot wait to get started. I recommend this lovely book for anyone seeking to become more mindful. I am thrilled to have it. I'll be ordering a few more for my friends. They'd certainly make the perfect gift.

I was looking for something that would give me some meditation and writing prompts- things to reflect on while meditating and then journal the thoughts & feelings that arose. This isn’t really a journal, it’s more an activity book and many of the meditation activities are rather simplistic- draw a continuous line changing direction on each breath, stab the page w your pen to get out anger, make yourself a cup of tea and notice the temperature, flavoretc. Some activities are more involved, but many are very simplistic. I do enjoy skipping through the book and some doing activities at random, but others I’m certain I’ll never do. Giving it 3 stars because it’s sweet for what it is, but I’m ultimately disappointed w the purchase because I really wanted something deeper and more reflective that this.

Super fun activity journal! Love this! Helpful with working through all the stress I have as a teacher and a caregiver for my husband. Fun to share certain aspects with my husband as well. Highly recommend if you like to write, doodle, and explore new things!

Definitely recommended! Have been using it for a while now. Love the little games and exercises that train my focus on the present. They don’t always work. But it’s nice to spend a short time everyday focusing on just me and just right now. Daily usage of the book is the key :)

Very creative. Beautiful things to work on. Added to my library!

good to take your eyes off the screen, guided journaling

So nice. For children and adult. Reminds you that warm feeling. Lots of exercises!

I was very disappointed by this book. I don't feel like doing the exercises it proposes. It's very basic. A waste of time ad of money.
