From Alex Elle, celebrated poet and author of Neon Soul and Words from a Wanderer, comes Today I Affirm—a journal and guide to reading and writing daily affirmations.

Writing serves as a form of meditation. When we slow down and settle into ourselves, affirmations can assist us in self-awareness, introspection, and understanding. Today I Affirm helps walk readers through the ins and outs of cultivating positive self-talk in a way that is stress-free and easy to understand. This innovative book includes affirmations written by the author, short bits of inspiration, charts to fill in, as well as journal pages all with the focus on self-care.

YOU NEED THIS JOURNAL
Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2019

I have followed Alex Elle’s work for years & I am telling you that her work has not only helped shape my own writing practice, but her work has also given me the language & tools to practice healthy boundaries and self-care. I also highly recommend checking out her podcast “Hey Girl” if you want to soak up more of her wisdom!

When Alex announced that she would be releasing a guided affirmation journal, I pre-ordered a copy for a friend & a copy for myself immediately. I LOVE this journal. It is aesthetically BEAUTIFUL - but more importantly, the writing exercises give me the space to dig deeper every day. I know that when I sit down to complete a writing exercise in my Today I Affirm journal, I’m setting the tone to step into the rest of my day in a more grounded, calm, and wise way.

If you’re reading these reviews trying to decide whether or not to buy this journal - BUY IT. RIGHT NOW. This journal is an investment in yourself, your life, and your self-care + writing practice.

Perfect for helping you let go of the past and move towards the future
Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2019

I experienced several major losses in 2018 and never really had a chance to grieve one before the next one was upon me. This left me feeling bottled up and full of unbridled anger. Anger at the world, anger at my lost ones, anger at myself. I bought this journal hoping I could at least work through the grieving portion of my anger and was honestly surprised when suddenly I felt a lightness within myself. The anger had lessened. I was smiling more, laughing more. Wanting to be around other people more.

The journal gently guides you through your emotions and helps you work out what is inside you. It is up to YOU as to whether you let it all go. They are merely giving you the tools to start your own recovery. It is up to you whether you get on board.

It took me until page 20 or so before I really noticed a difference. I would sometimes only be able to do 1 page per day. Some days I could manage 2 or 3 pages. It really doesn't matter how many pages you do a day. What matters is that you do the work to the best of your ability. If you are not feeling it today, then don't do it. Or only do a little bit. That's okay. I think it is also important to go back and read what you've written occasionally. You might be surprised by your previous answers. I know I was. But don't change your answers. Remember, this is a journey. I hope you find as much healing as I have. It truly has been a gift from above.

Buy this journal, you won’t have regrets.
Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2019

I love everything about this journal. From the color to the weight to the way it just feels. I could tell that some thought was put into it until it was perfect. This journal is broken into three parts. Questions you ask and answer yourself. Charting and the letter you write to yourself. I’m not much of a writer but I love writing in this journal. I never thought a journal can radiate happiness and love. This journal makes me want to drink water and go vegan. I won’t go vegan but I might take a sip of water now and then. But I definitely will recommend this book the everyone I know. If you’re reading this review just buy it already you won’t regret it.

Today I Affirm has made a MAJOR impact in my daily routine. I received it on the first day of the new year and it’s been a wonderful addition to my life. I really enjoy how calming the color of this journal is and how much it captures me every time I open it. Today I Affirm has encouraged me to pick up my pen and start writing again. Each prompt has been helpful in expressing my feelings, while reflecting on each word I write. I adore Alex Elle and her bodies of incredible work that she continues to share. I’ve bought many of her boxes as gifts and everyone truly enjoys it! I highly recommend Today I Affirm!

I have honestly been touched by Alex’s words + self care writing practices. After experiencing trauma and years of therapy this journal of affirmations is a creative way to express myself even if it’s in a few words. It feels good to support a woman of color’s brand, being honest with how I feel without shame or guilt. To just completely journey towards healing.

JUST BUY IT! Thank yourself later! Lol

I’ve found myself drawn to Alex because of her way with words. I’m so glad she created “Today I Affirm”. I appreciated “A Note To Self” because it helped me set proactive intentions for myself and I was weary of buying this journal due to not knowing what could be different. However, I’m so glad I purchased! I AM IN LOVE. The questions are short but they really force you to take time and think. There’s no quick answer, you have to quiet yourself and reflect which is amazing. My favorite section, that I find to be most challenging, would be the Affirmation Charts. Great practice.

Thanks Alex for this gem! Excited to continue using.

Alex Elle - this woman makes magic! Her newest journal, Today I Affirm, is an absolute work of art. The thoughtful prompts help me reflect on my day with a sense of grounding and curiosity, and they're unlike anything I've seen before. Alex's impactful written word is paired with gorgeous calligraphy in this journal making the experience inspiring on many levels. I highly recommend this as a daily or weekly tool for reflecting on your life and shifting your mindset to focus on the beauty & power of your life.

not as good as expected

first things first: i really like the size and the first half of this work book - great questions which make you think about yourself and your life choices.

BUT i'm disappointed by:
- the layout and the quality of the book (paper feels like in a cheap children's book; the quotes are hard to read due to the chosen font; the overall layout is to plain and loveless for my taste).
- the second half of this book. it only contains templates for charts and letters to oneself (see last 2 pics of the product description) that could've easily been summarized within less than 10 pages - as i don't feel the need to be able to fill them in in the book but would use an additional sheet of paper and would've liked more questions like in part one of the book.

all in all this book unfortunately feels like a rush job to me, trying to make as much $$$ out of alex's current insta fame and it can't keep up with the usual quality and depth of her work and words - by far.
