Madelaine Petsch Writes In This Popular 5-Minute Journal Every Morning

Petsch previously told Shape that journaling — whether it's about how an event went or how she felt when meeting a new person — has helped her manage her social anxiety. "Getting to know yourself, and just being okay with where you're at, even if it's not a great place, is just the first step for me," she shared. "Self-care and enjoying my alone time and finding my routines and sticking to them makes me feel a lot calmer."

Petsch likes using The Five-Minute Journal in her journaling practice so much that she's gifted a copy to her Riverdale co-star and friend Camila Mendes, who's shared her own love of the journal with her followers. Mendes previously wrote on Instagram that Petsch gave her the journal at a time when she was feeling stressed, anxious, and "all over the place," and that adopting a habit of journaling helped her shift her focus and channel gratitude. Other famous fans of The Five Minute Journal include Emma Watson, Gwyneth Paltrow, and even entrepreneur Tim Ferriss.

If you're not lucky enough to have received the journal from a friend, you might want to consider gifting one to yourself. The potential benefits of regular journaling are pretty enticing. Practicing gratitude might help make you feel happier, build stronger relationships, or help you feel more energized throughout your day-to-day — and writing down what you're grateful for daily is one way to make it a habit. Plus, research suggests that using a journal to "off-load" your worries right before bed can help you fall asleep faster.

There's no shortage of journal options to choose from if you want to get in on the practice of writing down what you're grateful for and setting intentions. But if you like the sound of guided prompts designed to take up a small portion of your day, you'll probably appreciate Petsch's favorite.
