stoic. journal & mental health Reviews

by Mollyyzoe

Stoic has the potential, and in many ways is, a great app. It arguably has one of the best set ups I've seen for a journaling app, and really allows for productivity. It is designed not only to let you plan and record your days, but also to inspire.

However, that's where the problem lies. During the morning prompts, a quote or bit of philosophy is shown from a specific set of beliefs. With the free version that set of beliefs is Catholicism, and there is no way to change that or turn off the quotes without paying for premium. I don't understand why Catholicism would be the default, unless the creators are Catholic and are using stoicjournalmentalhealth as a way to proselytize to people. Especially because there are neutral options as well that could be the default, and could appease anyone. At least let us turn off having to see the quotes either way.

For me at least, stoicjournalmentalhealth is essentially unusable being that I don't want to be bombarded with scripture everyday. So unless they change the morning inspiration to a philosophy that isn't built upon the r@p3 of young boys, I can't continue using stoicjournalmentalhealth.

I'm not really sure how I feel about stoicjournalmentalhealth. While it does ask you questions/give you prompts to get you talking about things, sometimes the questions are weird. I had one this morning, somewhere along the lines of "what are you then, a mere body? a ration being." And I'm staring at my screen like how do I even answer this if I don't understand the question? There's other ones that are similar and because I don't understand what it's asking me to write, sometimes I'll just put "lol" so I can move to the next page. Then when you're done with your questions it will ask if you feel better and mostly my answer has been no because the questions it gave me were weird. You can pick what questions you'd like to be asked everyday but none of them really jump out to me as something I'd want to answer daily besides the one sentence summary of your day but even that is whatever. I do like that it tracks your mood, would be cool to have another tracker for what is causing your mood instead of the sad to happy face scale. The quotes are cool too. I've been using stoicjournalmentalhealth for about 2 weeks now and I feel like maybe twice out of the 14 days, it's actually asked me something relevant. More often than not, I'm using the blank page entries instead but I could just write those in my actual journal. Perhaps stoicjournalmentalhealth isn't for me, but it seems to work for people.

I love stoicjournalmentalhealth, I really do. The journal prompts are great. They really have you think and answer questions that you may not have thought about to get to the bottom of your feelings. I love the simplicity of stoicjournalmentalhealth , as someone with ADD the black and white seems to really help me not be all over the place and it’s not distracting

I love the walk prompts and audio clips. The layout and order in which the activities are presented are very productive and well thought out.

The ONLY thing that drives me a little crazy about stoicjournalmentalhealth is the widget. I have the affirmation widget on my home page and most times a preview of a great affirmation will come up on the widget being that it has somewhat of an automation that shows your random affirmations from your Home Screen. Well, I would like to add it as my affirmation for the day by clicking the plus botton and or clicking the widget to open stoicjournalmentalhealth and save the affirmation and/or read further into it but when I do it just disappears on me. I can’t find it, have no clue where to find it because I struggle to find them in the affirmations section and it’s just a good affirmation gone to waste.

Please fix this: If an affirmation is suggested on the Home Screen. When you click it, because you evidently have interest in it, you should be able to see it, read it, save it upon stoicjournalmentalhealth opening.

Other than that, this is a beautiful app. I would HIGHLY suggest stoicjournalmentalhealth to those that suffer from ADD like myself.

I was introduced to this platform, in the hopes of improving self-refelection. I think the intital reaction was excitement, because I had not considered such a concept. However, I will say, over time, I've come to realization that the effort is heavily dependent on personal determination and organization. I dont utilize it perfectly to a T, but it does provide clarity at moments when i can sit with myself. There is not an extensive array of prompts and exercises for the standard version, so I cannot speak upon what a premium, or paid version would further provide. That is an idividual decision for one to make. Overall, I do enjoy the platform and have recommended it to others. I only wish to utilize it more effectively.

And while I understand the platform's resoning for not storing personal data or connecting something to a certain idvidual, I have found a slight displeasure in realizing the computer version I have and the mobile phone app version I have are NOT synchronized or connected in any way. That may be a personal misunderstanding, but ideally, I would like both version I have to be connected in some way. Would still encourage others to explore stoicjournalmentalhealth themselves, worth it.

Man do I love stoicjournalmentalhealth.

Using it every morning to start my day helps get the ball rolling. I pay for it and use all the features from Journaling, breathing guides and the Daily questions.

You do these questions everyday in the beginning and end of the day. It asks you what your plans are for the day and goes deeper into those plans so you plan it better and think about it. At the end of the day it asks you specific questions about how you did.

Its like a person keeping you in check.

I need to do better using the Journal. It has all kind of questions to start your writing and its great to get even more thoughts out.

There are a lot of features and things to do on here. You just need to go through all the Exercises.

If you do subscribe, make sure to go through your settings and customize your questions you would like. I think they only have a few set up when you sign up but they have 100's of questions that guide your day.

Only thing I would say is The Meditation and Read are not the greatest. Reading is just quotes. It would be great to read more long form.
As for meditation it would be great to have guided meditation. I use another app for my meditation because I just like the guided format.

Other than that I love the Daily questions, Breathing and Journals!

by Daniel The Greek

This is stoicjournalmentalhealth I needed. I’ve been looking for this for a long time. What I’m here to treat: Bipolar Disorder 1, ADD, Anxiety and Relationship problems.

Why I have failed with past apps and what this one gets right

1) Clutter/Non-optimal design

Due to my extreme sensitivity and need for minimalism, other apps with their colors and complex menus were usually too much.

This one is white one black. Perfect.
Journal history view is scroll-only with effective use of emoji to efficiently encode the information. Perfect.

2) Need multiple apps

By way of illustration, prior to finding stoicjournalmentalhealth, I was using and paying for multiple apps featuring breathing exercises and CBT, to name a couple. A dedicated breathing exercise app may still be desirable for you, but if you’re easily overwhelmed such that the prospect of needing multiple apps will increase your chances of failure, know that stoicjournalmentalhealth contains breathing exercises and guided meditations alongside the best-in-class CBT, in my opinion. Perfect.

3) Daily commitment feels to complicated or involved.

Many apps make me dizzy with what they want me to do to get better. This one asks me to select a minimal drawing of a mouth to indicate my mood, quotes a stoic philosopher to inspire me and then gives me the option of what I want to do from there, while first gently encouraging me to journal by prompting a conversation. Perfect.

by beast

I have journaled for many years, and many times due to not having proper questions set up, I go around in circles or there is no continuity to gleam insight from in my notes. With stoicjournalmentalhealth asking you the same questions with variability mixed in, it provides structure with challenges to make sure you dont repeat your entries. I have been able to gleam insight about my goals and whether or not i pursue them out of fear of rejection or ego, that i havent spent enough time with my family, that i have had much anger i hadnt dealt with, etc.

stoicjournalmentalhealth also has great practices such as fear setting to guide you along complicated thought processes you have.

Imagine having a great and caring interviewer ask you about yourself in depth every morning and evening. That is what stoicjournalmentalhealth is. It boosts your faith in yourself, allows you to see your own fallacies in your thoughts, and probably gives you the power of flight though i havent reached that badge yet

by Pootoo88

I rarely write reviews for apps, but when I do so it’s either because I hate it and had to express that, or love it (which is the option here). I’m extremely impressed. Like seriously. I’ve been going through a lot mentally and emotionally the past several weeks, and this is like having a personal journal to jot down your ideas, thoughts, and to help silence your mind from those scrambling thoughts floating around in your head. Everything was well thought out, I love the minimalistic yet elegant approach in terms of the UI and how helpful it is to help pull any and/or every thought out of your head to help guide you to being more present and self aware of what you’re feeling, how you’re feeling, etc. I loved it so much I subscribed for the yearly plan (with the free trial of course so I can see what additional benefits I’ll get). The mantras are amazing and they help set the tone of the day! Much love, I’m a fan.

by Kielay

TLDR: Great app. Get it. Developers (for Mac): please add the option to add photos in more places (journal entries especially)

I have never been in the habit of writing in a journal. but in the past week i have been researching apps to help with my productivity system. i didn't expect to include it, but it has been a great way to start and end my day. i have always been a list guy. but the prompted questions help me frame my day, which directly influences how i pupulate my to do list. Stoic also creates space for me to ramble, before i hone my todo list in the Reminders app.

The one thing i wish is that the devs create more opportunities to add photos to the journal. i would love to pull my daily photos out of my iphoto/photostream to create context around the shot so i can reflect back on my week/day etc. it brings more meaning than just looking at photos in iphoto. I did notice that some questions allowed for photos. "list three amazing things that happened today." but i need more control over when i want to share photos. i'm shocked i cant just add them to wherever i want.

I'll stop here. i think stoicjournalmentalhealth is great. it really helps me focus on what is important and be mindful, rather than opening a social media or news stream app by reflex. when i do that it tends to subliminally direct focus toward whatever that algorithm thought was important that day.

by Adiposter

I’ve always strived to set my goals and intentions for the day and reflect on them in the evening but have always struggled to keep up with it. There is something about Stoic that makes me feel a sense of peace and motivation when I open it. Every aspect of it is incredible, from the daily quotes from Stoic philosophers and the Buddha (my philosophies of choice) to answering the questions I set each morning & night, doing a visualization or meditation within the exercises, and even to the minimalistic UI and animations. Everything fits and everything makes me want to use stoicjournalmentalhealth more and more, which in this case is actually a good thing. Stoic is as far from pseudo-psychology as you can get. It’s pretty simple: If you setup your daily questions and just do what stoicjournalmentalhealth was built for. Twice a day. If you use it and apply it it will change your life. No question. stoicjournalmentalhealth is perfect, so it’s up to you if you want to follow it. If you do, good luck! I’ll be right there with you.

by NemoTheCat

Absolutely incredible. The focus breathing, the journaling, and the adaptability to each user. I have never seen such an app before. I have downloaded over 20 journaling apps, but I eventually always delete stoicjournalmentalhealth because I forget to journal because stoicjournalmentalhealth doesn’t help me. Now, this journaling app is incredible. I write 3-5 times a day and use its focus breathing exercises so much. This is the only app I want to actually support with money even though I am a stingy person.

——

Update: I do dislike the new feature where it asks you to think negatively to become grateful without being able to decline like last update. For those who are suffering depression, anxiety, and other mental issues, this is a big black hole that one can go into. I plead the developers to lock this feature away by being able to decline before stoicjournalmentalhealth asks you that question.

by InkedGalaxies

I’m trying to be a bit more aware the tone I’m thinking in. documenting my thought process throughout a time period helps me be more self aware. I tried physically writing but I can’t stand my handwriting and how inconsistent it is and then I’d accidentally switch notebooks and dates would be out of order- bleh. I tried social media but, this is rather private. yk?
then I decided one day to just download this. I looked through the reviews, figured whatever let’s try it.
the first two days, I wasn’t crazy about stoicjournalmentalhealth although once I became adjusted to stoicjournalmentalhealth ’s algorithm and was it’s formatted: I enjoy it. I do, I would love a bit more personalization but that’s just me. it’s just a bonus I’d like. (although I love stoicjournalmentalhealth ’s dark / soft theme.
not all the options within stoicjournalmentalhealth (moods, activities, quotes) are particularly my style but the range stoicjournalmentalhealth gives you? with the different preset moods and activities and so on - awesome work guys.
definitely download. plus it’s free!

by Xray Dog

stoicjournalmentalhealth is great. It has really allowed me to journal as a beginner -> intermediate. It has prompts, free pages, and so much more including exercises. The only thing that I would love, is to be able to use my iPad as paper and have it be in the page instead of as a attachment. For example, if I’m reflecting on a quote in stoicjournalmentalhealth I would love to be able to write with the Apple Pencil where it says to start writing instead of having to click around and essentially write on a separate page/attachment that does not even show the quote(you know what I mean?)

But other than that very tiny tiny idea of mine this is a great app, has everything you can think of, and for a lifetime subscription of 90ish the environmental benefit of not having to keep paper journals is great(as long as I can emulate the concept of writing with the Apple Pencil)

10/10! Should try it for a week at least! Journaling can really help, I have been a skeptic but now look!

I’ve been struggling with depression and anxiety all my life. I don’t feel comfortable w personal counseling, which I have tried. I’ve read multiple self help books ranging from CBT to The Power of now, all incrementally helped and gave me short term motivation but I lacked discipline. I also have and continue to use Youper for on demand emotional assist. Mornings are the worst for me. At times I am woken by anxiety. When it’s bad I force myself to cry before leaving the house because I don’t know what’s wrong but I know crying helps. stoicjournalmentalhealth has made the most difference so far- I’ve only used it for 2 weeks. It’s the first thing I do when I wake up. I don’t check mail or social, I brew my coffee and start w Stoic. The daily quotes are great weather I chose to reflect on them or not. Having to write/pause/set goals puts me in a whole different head space before my day actually starts. Today I woke up not anxious and looking forward to Stoic asking me -do you feel prepared for the day? So far the Answer has been Yes

by AustinCorn

As a philosophy student and a productivity nerd, I’ve probably tried somewhere over 20 different journaling apps over the years and nothing has ever felt complete enough to make it worth the time. Within my first sit down with stoicjournalmentalhealth however, I actually found myself crying in some moments and smiling at others, ultimately feeling like I had done something truly productive. stoicjournalmentalhealth is incredibly in-depth and really delivers a guided experience that is tailored for your personal goals. It is structured enough to feel like you know what to do in order to benefit from it, and it is open-ended enough to feel like you don’t need any other app to accompany it, which makes it feel very complete and satisfying to have everything in one place. The customizable options, philosophical quotes and questions, and the array of mental exercises to choose from make stoicjournalmentalhealth an excellent tool to heal and grow. I have no doubt that this will continue to be a valued part of my daily routine, and I urge anyone reading this to try this for yourself!

by Squirrel Schenandoah

I really enjoy stoicjournalmentalhealth. I can open it in the morning to start off my day well. I am finding that taking 30 minutes to myself to incorporate a couple apps has really helped me to be able to have a better and more productive day.
I use stoic first, pick a focus for the day and the prompts help me to think it through much better and break things down.
I have also used it during the day with the breathing exercises to help me to focus, or calm down and it’s been a huge help. To look back on the day after it’s completed is nice as well as those moments my mind won’t shut off during the night I can combine journaling and breathing or meditation.
I combine my coffee, stoic, look up my horoscope and then use my Saged app. It’s helping my mental health, my physical health and self esteem as I have had brain surgery and been left with cognitive difficulties as well as seizures. It’s gives me that sense of control that I’m caring for myself and I’m able to handle the different things that come up during the day much better than the days I don’t use it.

I have various mental health issues and nearly 2 decades of trauma that I’ve been desperately trying to cope with. I’ve been to so many mental health programs, rehabs, I've bought so many self development books and work books, tried other apps, taken all kinds of meds and have tried different types of therapies. Granted some of those things helped me tremendously(particularly long term outpatient therapy with a great therapist), it’s been consistently difficult for me to build healthy and healing habits into my everyday life. After only a few days of using stoicjournalmentalhealth, it has reduced my crippling anxiety and depression significantly. It has also helped me cope with my other mental health issues such as BPD, addiction, PTSD, Bipolar, and things such as chronic self image issues. My issues are still there obviously, but I don’t feel so helpless. I have such a long ways to go, but stoicjournalmentalhealth makes it so convenient to stick to those healthy and healing habits I wish to incorporate into my everyday life so I can make progress in creating a happy and fulfilled life for myself long term.

I downloaded stoicjournalmentalhealth last week and it’s been on my home page since then. I’ve only started using stoicjournalmentalhealth a few days ago and OMG😳 stoicjournalmentalhealth is so beautiful. I’m only writing a review just so I can ask if you guys can put a password for the journal part because my mom looks through my phone and I don’t want her to read the things I write in there💀 Anyways, I do actually really love stoicjournalmentalhealth and its perfect from the bottom of those codes and to the top of the icon. It’s iconic honestly. Not to forget the fact that it’s been lifting burdens and weights off of my back when I type everything in details. It’s like a friend that I’ve always wanted, which is sad because none of my real (alive) friends are there for me and asks me how I am like how stoic is🥲 Ever since stoicjournalmentalhealth asked me the first question, I’ve poured allllll of the things I wanted to say and in details too. I- stoicjournalmentalhealth is like that one friend that you have that’s always there for you no matter what and genuinely cares for you so deeply and that you’re comfortable being around them even though you’ve only met last week. yknow? stoicjournalmentalhealth is my twin flame.

by Chryssee

I typically do not like journaling on my phone however, I stumbled upon stoicjournalmentalhealth and gave it a try and I absolutely love it. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to buy a membership but I did because I wanted to have full access to the entire app to be able to really see if it was worth it. So far, I have used stoicjournalmentalhealth in the morning and evening. I wanted to be able to track my mood to get a good sense of what really bothers me and be able to journal. I find that it really helps me find peace and be able to find happy moments in my day when it is hard to find sometimes. I love being able to find ways to be grateful and this really helps me find those moments in the day when you’ve been so stressed and all you can think of is the negative parts and then turning it around to find those moments that stand out that are positive. Even during times of stress I have been able to see the positive. I’ve been able to take a step back and really look at each situation as a learning experience and sometimes it is hard to do when you are battling depression, anxiety and PTSD. Definitely recommend stoicjournalmentalhealth!!

by I Can Make This Game Better!

So overall it’s a very good app. I have been using it for almost a month, and I haven’t found anything to dislike, except two things. I think it’s a good idea for when using a “blank page” how you can set a goal for a certain amount of words and a certain amount of time. But, I find that if I’m typing then go off to do something for a couple of minutes, then when I come back the timer was running still. Therefore I was not typing for 10 minutes. To fix this, my solution would to only count time if the user is typing. The second thing l wish was different is very simple. A week on stoicjournalmentalhealth is Sunday-Saturday, but I use a Monday-Sunday week. I really wish there was a way for me to switch to a Monday-Sunday week, that way it alines with my outside life. Like I said, I really love stoicjournalmentalhealth, but if these two things I listed were improved, then I would really love stoicjournalmentalhealth even more.

Why change the layout of the routine? Before I could just scroll through all of it. I could see the quote as I was writing about it. Now I have my whole 6 inch screen dedicated to one question? How does that make sense? And now the (already pointless) “what is your focus today?” question has like 30 options. Why is that necessary? Do you really think every person is going to be able to predict how their day will go? Maybe some can, but I certainly can’t. Adding on to this, when I installed the recent update, my routine from yesterday got deleted.

Please just go back to the layout that’s in stoicjournalmentalhealth Store preview video. You can integrate the journal button in the bottom right, I like that. And also I’d remove the trends tab and mood questions, I don’t see the point.

by A Potential Adopter

The concept for stoicjournalmentalhealth is really wonderful, and it has good writing prompts, thought-provoking quotes, and asks it’s users questions that facilitate insight. And, it also asks yes/no questions that - it seems the only possible thing that Stoic could do with user answers would be to collect and sell data sets about their users. These questions have included things mostly related to lifestyle, like “Do you drink alcohol?” or “Do you exercise?”, specific questions are not related to stoicjournalmentalhealth ’s functionality, and are very market-driven questions. I’m well aware that most apps collet user data and sell it - that is our current context of targeted advertising and capitalism - but for an app about mental health, this phenomenon might be addressed with a little more transparency? As in, I’m ok with you collecting my info and selling it, but I feel a little conned when it under the auspices of therapeutic support :). I’ve decided to stop using it for that reason, but with more transparency would consider it again... But, kudos on the rest of stoicjournalmentalhealth !

by Review Some

I'm going through a difficult time. In my search for apps to aid mental health, I found Stoic and fell in love with it. I recently had to transfer colleges and left one of my favorite professors. I took several of his classes and before every one, he'd have us read Epictetus. It was always a calming exercise and stoicjournalmentalhealth reminds me so much of those good times in class. It's good to see that so many others are benefiting from the philosophy.

There's one bug I've noticed. Sometimes stoicjournalmentalhealth itself glitches and the icon goes blank. No biggie, I just go to move stoicjournalmentalhealth and then it comes back and I can open it.

Additionally, it'd be cool to be able to edit the list (if you can already, I haven't found it) of things to focus on and things enjoyed.

by Flowers_bv

I just finished meditating for the first time with stoicjournalmentalhealth and it felt so personalized, I came into the practice with ease. The choosing of sounds (or no sounds), the personal time limit, the chime intervals...it’s all amazing.

The journal is simple, the questions deep/thoughtful. The only con I have is the Q&A sections. The limit on words you can type in the answers section is unnecessary. Our answers may require a longer sentence than 5 words or maybe even 2 sentences. I don’t know if this is something that is a bug on my phone or not, but it’s pretty irritating.

EDIT: I think it was a glitch because now I can have longer answers. :) However, can we have the option to start a new journal entry? I journal morning and night and would love a separate section for each.

by Alygator7505

Long story short, get stoicjournalmentalhealth , it’s pretty useful.

↓my whole review

So, I struggle a lot with stress and my emotions get a little crazy sometimes. It’s hard for me to find people, I’m very reclusive and I don’t have a lot of “friends” to vent to. So it all gets bottled up inside.

stoicjournalmentalhealth is like a journal. I wanted to get into it sooner, I’m just more tech-y. So I’m not too fond of paper and pencil or people being able to find my journal and read my personal thoughts, notebooks don’t have passwords...

stoicjournalmentalhealth was exactly what I was looking for. Minimalistic, Useful, and it wasn’t cheesy. It was just for me. Like no community I had to see, no worrying about people being able to see my history and getting asked something different every day helps me learn bits of myself and feel like a huge weight has been lifted of my shoulders. I love the black and white aesthetic, never change it please. And just the quotes, I’m a poetry person and just the feeling of finding what you’ve been needing to hear for a long time is so relieving. I hope stoicjournalmentalhealth never dies. Thank you for everything.

stoicjournalmentalhealth combines everything crucial to a stable healthy mind in one humble, well designed experience. I am awed by the depth and carefulness with which this was crafted. It is an app that I wish I would have designed. I am floored that it exists and is not known by everyone.

Specifically, I use it to get motivated upon rising with its stoic quotes, to write morning pages, which is a technique enumerated in the famous book, “The Artist’s Way”, to set and disarm my fears for the day, and then use the timer for my own self guided meditation. I am beginning to develop an evening routine it, as well. Thank you for developing this application. It compliments my beliefs and other routines so sweetly.

by Fujchfft

I like you and have enjoyed using you this past 2-3 weeks.
We can choose where we want to go each day. There might not be a dark mode, in some areas, but for now, I like the quotes, just one can really make my day.
I’ve used the thoughtful and other sections, I like how it doesn’t promise a lot and does what it says it does. I’m an overthinker. For the most part, I would just stick with the breathe section when I started, though now I don’t go as much and instead go to the quotes section. I like all the specific labeled icons and it actually helps being black and white, it just seems like a good idea. No colors to bother your eyes.
Well, thanks for making this.

Sometimes it’s good to make time to really see what it is you’re doing and why you’re doing it and what you’d like to do differently. A lot of the time though it’s difficult to take a good look at it all and find a way to ask the right questions and be impartial in helping ourselves to feel resolved and capable to take on whatever it is that we are presented with. stoicjournalmentalhealth is a tool to ask yourself good questions about what’s important to you to and hear what it is you have to say about how and why you live the way you do. stoicjournalmentalhealth makes it easy to record and review your answers to the challenges you face and what your answers to them were. A lot of people would like to journal and find it difficult to make time for and I enjoy that stoicjournalmentalhealth provides the benefits of journaling in a way that is easy and effective. It also is pleasant visually and easy to interact with. Good stuff.

by Eejayee

I have been looking so far and wide for something like this, and this has it all!!! As someone who has been in therapy for many years, let me tell you, most therapists will recommend these very tools (the meditation, breathing, and journaling our problems in a manner that is outlined in stoicjournalmentalhealth itself) to help with one’s own mental health improvement. I just downloaded this and checked it out, and already know I will use it often. The only app I would actually consider buying a yearly subscription, ha! Seriously, love stoicjournalmentalhealth so much, thank you so much to the creator: you have no idea how much I’ve wanted something just like this!!! Def recommend to anyone looking to work through their thoughts or improve their mental health :)

by Dwalker103073

stoicjournalmentalhealth is very helpful, I enjoy the reminders & try to apply the quotes & questions to everyday life. I am 46 year old MWF & consider myself on the path to becoming a “stoic” myself, I hope & pray that my life, & the way I live it,even though I know I am far from perfect, will encourage others or help others overcome their fears, anxieties, & insecurities & realize that we do make our own destiny because we have options & the abilities to choose them. Life can be difficult, if we think it is & if we change our own thoughts we change our own world. The key word is believe & our small minds sometimes don’t understand the depth of that word. Again, I hope my “beliefs”& “philosophies” help & encourage in the least my family & friends, how great it must be to be remembered & still helping people 500+/- years after life lived!!

by AwesomeLegendReborn

A lot of other people have already done an excellent job at highlighting the great uses of stoicjournalmentalhealth, so I’m not going to spend many words addressing the amazing qualities of stoicjournalmentalhealth.
I will say, however, that stoicjournalmentalhealth has dramatically changed my life by making me more introspective, open to growth, and willing to change to the way in which I interact with the world. It has helped me curb my worst habits and improve my virtuous qualities, and I’m greatly appreciative of that.

I just have some suggestions for the developers that I would love to see implemented into stoicjournalmentalhealth .
1. Writing your own questions: Don’t get me wrong, the reflection questions that Stoic provides are wonderful, but they’re also very broad. Obviously, the default questions must be broad to be accessible for people of all demographics, but I would like to have questions that are more tailored to my own specific experiences. I think the best way to do this is by letting users create their own custom questions that they can respond to each day. In my case, at least, this change would make the questions even more meaningful and effective.

2. Darkmode: The evening time reflection page is great, but I wish there was an option to make black the dominant color for all the other screen options (even the morning reflection page).

3. Naming morning and evening reflection pages

by Winkiewinkle

This has helped me tremendously- and not in the way I thought it would. It’s worth it to try! I want to thank you for stoicjournalmentalhealth, from the bottom of my heart. I haven’t said that in quite some time. It’s only been 3 days and honestly, I didn’t know if I’d keep stoicjournalmentalhealth - I was depressed and didn’t want to look inward or even put in the work to improve my life. BUT THE QUOTES... that’s what got me! And the only the work is what you want to put in!! Long story short, I have been in deep thought about myself. I realize I CAN change myself and for the first time in ages, I feel like I am ready to fight for my happiness. ❤️
