Good Morning, I Love You

A Guided Journal for Calm, Clarity, and Joy

A joyful journey through writing and other proven practices—for nurturing peace, connection, creativity, and health.

Why is it so hard to change? Is it simply a lack of desire or willpower? Too often, we try to change our lives by pushing on, and then we beat ourselves up when we don’t succeed. But research shows that shame actually shuts down the brain’s learning centers—so that every time we judge ourselves, we take away the very resources we need to change. But when we treat ourselves with kindness, we turn those learning centers back on.

With this journal, mindfulness and self-compassion expert Dr. Shauna Shapiro invites you to experience a three-month journey of morning and evening practices— as well as weekly “deep dives”—to be kinder to yourself, while boosting your health and well-being along the way. Through key scientific insights and practices, day by day you’ll grow your self-compassion, mindfulness, forgiveness, resilience, and joy.
