I’ve also been using the 5 minute journal on and off for 8? years. Its my tool to get on track if I ever feel emotionally vulnerable / unstable. The act of sitting down and ruminating on what went well during the day, as well as planning each day for simple achievable goals has had a very calming effect on me. Unfortunately I don’t seem to get much of it if I’m already happy and fulfilled - so I mostly stop journaling when I’m OK but resume if something is amiss.
