I discovered the 5-year memory journal in 2020 and have been obsessed with it ever since. You know how you love a book so much that you share it with anyone you love?! It’s the same with this journal — nearly all my friends have received it because I genuinely think anyone can benefit from it. The concept is stupidly simple: You have a journal with 365 pages, with each page representing a day in a year (January 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) Each page is divided into five sections, which represent five different years (in my case, it’s 2020–2024). Every day, you jot down what you’ve done, what you’re grateful for, or whatever else comes to mind. You have space for 1–3 sentences. And here’s when the magic happens: When I write today’s entry, I see what I’ve written in the previous years. I see what I’ve done, what I was mad about, what I was worrying about, and what progress I made since. You basically create a mini summary of your life, including many beautiful memories that you’d otherwise just forget about. I love taking photos with my phone but often forget to capture special moments. I don’t forget to write them down since my journal is always right next to my bed. I use this journal, but I’ve seen more beautiful versions lately — and let’s be honest: If you use a journal for five years, you’re allowed to judge it by the cover! 😁📘

In 1967, researchers at UCLA wrote about the importance of nonverbal communication and how our body language and tone of voice can influence our message.
