Mental fitness coach and founder of Reaching My Best, Claire Renée Thomas, has today launched her Shine Your Light Journal. Accompanying the popular Shine Light Cards released earlier this year, the journal has been carefully designed to awaken people’s minds and unlock their true potential as they pursue their health and wellness goals.

Beautifully designed with a linen hardback cover and gold edging, there are enough pages for over a year of journaling, with each A6 page allocated to a day.

The Shine Your Light Journal tracks six categories: What you have been up to (doing), how much you have been listening to yourself (being), your menstrual cycle, the lunar cycle, sleep and what you eat. Claire understands how each category when left unmonitored can be detrimental to our mental wellbeing, and this journal is the perfect encouragement that you can take wherever you go. There is also space to note your daily reflections and 3 things that you are grateful; a practice proven to help with our mental wellbeing.

This tool can be used alongside the Shine Your Light Cards or independently, to uncover your power and reflect your accomplishments and ambitions. The 52 Shine Your Light cards were designed to educate and guide you towards the best version of yourself through powerful thought-provoking questions and exercises as well as gentle, soul-led mindful activities.

While lots of hobbies have evolved over the years, journalling as an art has remained consistent. With first recordings dating back to 55AD China, journalling has remained a constant source of therapy and we have been reaping the benefits ever since. Research by the charity Papyrus indicates the following advantages:

·      Emotional expression

·      Stress reduction

·      Problem-solving

·      Mood boosting

·      Enhances cognitive functions

·      Helps manage grief and trauma

Claire is eager to reignite our passion for writing and restore people’s abilities to be open about their emotions, and hopes this journal will give people confidence, particularly women juggling their careers and motherhood.

A passionate champion of mental fitness and inspired by her own mindfulness journey, Claire hopes to reach as many people as possible and help them feel empowered.

Claire commented on the launch of the Shine Your Light Journal, saying: “I am thrilled to be adding to the Shine Your Light brand with this exploratory journal which I have poured my heart into creating. I want users to be taken on a journey, discover their true power and indulge themselves in the wonders of mental resilience training in their safe space with this book of gold.”

Retailing at £22.99, the journal is available to buy directly at Reaching My Best
