The 3-Minute Journal of Joy

Each day holds quiet moments that could fill our hearts—if only we’d stop to notice them. The 3-Minute Journal of Joy by Ink & Willow is an invitation to do just that: to pause long enough to honor the sparks of joy that so often slip by unseen. A kind word, sunlight on the counter, the hush of evening—each entry helps you recognize the beauty already unfolding in your daily life. When we nurture those moments, the spark grows brighter, reminding us that joy is not a rarity—it’s a rhythm.

With this in mind, allow The 3-Minute Journal of Joy to be your guide as you record moments of blessing and cultivate an overall posture of joy.

Each day, you will be presented with a set of three prompts:

• One word to describe today

• What brought me joy

• How I spread joy

At the end of the year, you will have a beautiful record of joy-filled moments. Feel free to start the journal at any time of year, and remember there's no pressure if you miss a day or two. As you “stack” joy on top of joy, your practice of recognizing the blessings of each day will develop into a habit and eventually an attitude of joy that you can carry with you for years to come.
