Sachi States of Change AM/PM Daily Journal is a testament to our philosophy of taking care of the whole you and our commitment to supporting you in your personal growth towards a happier, more confident you.

Key Benefits
Gratitude Studies
- Practising daily gratitude resulted in a healthier sleep cycle,increased health, happiness and an ability to cope with change (Cunha, L. F. et al., 2019).
- Gratitude can reduce the frequency and duration of episodes of depression (Wood, A.M. et al., 2008).
- Individuals who expressed gratitude for their partner not only felt more positive toward the other person but also felt more comfortable expressing concerns about their relationship (Joyce L. T. et al., 2019).
- Gratitude helped build resilience after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, reducing depressive symptoms and encouraging post crisis growth (Fredrickson, B. L. et al., 2003).
Positivity Studies
- Participants who wrote about what they were grateful for were more optimistic and felt better about their lives than those who wrote about negative events. The study went further to show that people who practised expressing gratitude more readily expressed positive emotions like joy, love, and optimism than negative destructive emotions like envy, resentment and bitterness (Emmons, Robert A., 2003).
- Feelings of happiness and experiencing positive emotions can increase our chances of success (Lyubomirsky, King, & Diener, 2005).
Daily affirmations Studies
- Affirmations help centre individuals to focus on positive self-beliefs and values when faced with difficulty and reduce the likelihood of individuals experiencing stress and negative thoughts arising from hardship or pain (Sherman et al., 2009).
Journaling Studies
- People who spend a few minutes everyday before bed writing down the things that have blessed their lives that day are far happier (Seligman, M. E. et al., 2005).
- Participants were asked to journal for three consecutive days over a few months and all who took part were not only happier but reported fewer illnesses. They also slept better and had increased energy and focus (Jeffries D., 2019).
Stress Studies
- Stress can affect and disrupt your skin barrier (Garg A et al., 2001).
- Psychological stress can have aggravating effects on inflammation and skin aging (Chen, Y. et al. 2014)
- A study found a strong correlation between stress and acne severity (Zari,S et al., 2017)

United StatesLovely
Really nice journal.
United StatesObsessed with this journal!
I have been using this journal for almost a year now, and I can stand by how effective and easy it is to use this journal. I love to spend 5-10min setting my intentions for the day, and using this as a way to destress and work through any anxious feelings I might have. The best part are the prompts. I especially love the one where I can list what I'm grateful for. Thank you Farah for creating this journal :) Guess I need to buy another one soon.....
