Reflection: AI Journal & Coach

As a mental health professional, journaling is something I often suggest to people for a myriad of reasons and benefits. I always make sure to remind them that there is no wrong or right way to journal. Personally I have only done poetic journaling and stream of consciousness journaling. I have typically saved my more profound reflecting and processing for my own therapy sessions. However, after just one week with Reflection: AI journal & coach, I can see this becoming a regular practice for me (which I’m sure my therapist would agree is a great habit to pick up). I can also see it being a go-to recommendation that I make when someone is struggling with journaling. Not only is it helpful with cultivating insight, it can also be quite fun to use the AI features that make one “go deeper” or provide “coaching” and “summaries”. Lastly, as a therapist that believes mental health services should be accessible to all, I make it a point to offer a sliding scale. Reflection: AI journal & coach aligns with this value I dearly hold and offers a “scholarship” for the premium version of the app. With this scholarship, the app allows people to sign up for a year of the premium version on a sliding scale based on what they can afford. Thus making its premium version widely accessible. What’s additionally wonderful is that if you’re just starting out and building a new habit, you don’t even need to sign up for premium; the standard version of the app is free to use! I hope you’ll enjoy this tool as much as I have! Happy journaling!

Ok, so I signed up this morning when I had a ton of free time. You know taking time to journal instead of cleaning my house as one does. Anyway, boy am I glad I did. I’ve done 21 reviews I believe they call them with the themes and categories and enjoying every minute of it. Ok, maybe it’s a little excessive. My ADHD is in hyper focus mode right now. Please don’t judge lol. However, everything aside, I can’t believe the extent it’s change my thinking in just a couple of hours. Yeah I do love this stuff; human behavior and the power of positive thinking and such. It’s really interesting to me. But I love it. I have a lot of self-awareness so I feel pretty confident in who I am, but this challenged me by introducing different ways of thinking and perspectives. Honestly think this might be the first review I’ve ever written about an app if that says anything. You do have to pay for the premium but you have a 7 day trial. Curious to see what the free addition will allow me to do. Probably minimal. But I’m definitely considering purchasing by the end of the week. Far more worth the money than half of the stupid stuff I spend my money on anyway. Excuse my babbling and candor. But yeah as they say on Clueless, because that was the era I grew up in, “two very enthusiastic thumbs up”. Enjoy beautiful people!

Okay so I have to real here I have been looking/hunting for a journaling app for YEARS! Not decades more like three. But I always found it so frustrating because every journal app I had tried was just always missing something-whether it was guided prompts or being able to just say how you feel and have AI come up with something to help you work through it! Or I would find that journal apps would be so vague or they would have one feature without the other. I’m so happy to say that this journal app has proved me wrong and it’s the first one I have found that I can be consistent with and I now find it far more fun and look forward to journaling! The depth feature on this app is probably one of my favorite features along with the beautiful quotes that you can also use to inspire motivation or thoughts on certain things. I also love the fact that you can decide if you want to pay for it or not. They have paid plans which is amazing but this app also allows you to still journal for free and be able to use some of these incredible features before you decide to commit to a plan. So instead of feeling cramped like you only have five days for a free trial or a week you get to use it for however long and if you want to up level your journaling you can pay for the upgrade and be able to do even. more. Super impressed with this journaling app and I can’t see myself using another journal anymore. So thank you!
