## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the Five Minute Journal and how does it work?**
A: A structured daily gratitude journal with guided prompts - not a blank notebook. Each morning (2 min): 3 gratitudes, one intention, one affirmation. Each evening (2 min): 3 highlights, one reflection. Builds a proven habit in under 5 minutes a day.

**Q: How is this different from other gratitude journals or notebooks?**
A: Unlike blank notebooks, FMJ uses structured prompts rooted in positive psychology. Unlike generic journals, it has a morning + evening format proven to build habits. Undated - start anytime, skip days without guilt. The original since 2013.

**Q: Does gratitude journaling actually help with stress?**
A: Yes - one of the most studied habits in positive psychology, shown to reduce cortisol, improve sleep, and rewire negative thought patterns. Most people notice a shift within 2-3 weeks. Not a replacement for professional support, but evidence-backed.

**Q: Is this the original Five Minute Journal - or a knockoff?**
A: Yes - the original, created by Intelligent Change in 2013. Look for our name on the listing. Features a guided morning and evening prompt system, natural linen hardcover, recycled paper, and a ribbon bookmark.

**Q: What if I miss days - will it still work?**
A: Yes - undated by design. No pre-printed dates so you can't fall behind. Start when you're ready, skip days when life happens, pick it back up without guilt. This is why FMJ is the first journal most people actually finish.
