Summary: Can the Boundaries Journal be the key for establishing healthy boundaries, increasing confidence and improving relationships? Countless glowing reviews say it can... and I put it to the test.

The Boundaries Journal is taking the self-care world by storm, with everyone from influencers to mental health experts raving about its benefits.

Celebrities like Emma Watson, Chrissy Teigen, and Selena Gomez swear by therapy and journaling for their mental health, but journaling with the guidance of a therapist by your side can cost thousands of dollars per month.

The Boundaries Journal is a new solution that uses the same science backed strategies as you’ll find at a therapist's office.

According to literally thousands of reviews, the people who use The Boundaries Journal rave about its seemingly miraculous power to revolutionize their lives by reestablishing healthy boundaries… and all just by using it for 10 minutes daily.

Those are some big claims to make, but at the age of 57, I’m happy to give anything a try – especially when it comes with a money back guarantee. I did try The Boundaries Journal for one month, and I will share with you my brutally honest review about it, and I think some parts might surprise you.

Before I get into my review, let me explain exactly what the Boundaries Journal is.

The Boundaries Journal is a 30-day guided journaling experience that claims to help you establish healthy boundaries, learn to say no to toxic people, cultivate self-respect, and equip you with the strategies to maintain personal boundaries for a more balanced and fulfilling life.

It’s developed by mental health experts, from psychologists to clinical counselors, and is supported by peer-reviewed research.

The Boundaries Journal includes optional 15-minute follow-along videos for each of the 30 days, I did the math and that’s over seven and a half hours of guidance from a licensed clinical therapist. 🤯

The Boundaries Journal uses a combination of psychoeducational strategies to enhance your interpersonal connections, promote emotional resilience, improve communication, and cultivate self-awarness.

The journal references the work of over 40 experts in the field of Psychology and behavioral therapy.

...and if you do not observe any visible changes within 21 days, you are eligible for a full refund.

Let me tell you - you can literally feel the effort and care that went into making this journal, they did not cut corners or use cheap paper either. Almost immediately I noticed a big difference over other journals or workbooks.

It’s entirely up to you how often you decide to journal for, but to see the biggest difference you’ll want to build a consistent habit. I used The Boundaries Journal for 10 minutes per day.

According to the users, you start seeing results within the first week, and of course, after learning all of this, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on one!

I have been struggling with low self-esteem and anxiety since I was a teen. I am horrible at making decisions and I have a difficult time speaking my mind out loud or saying no. And to be honest, I never really try anything new because of it..

When I started using The Boundaries Journal, it was perfect timing. I had just taken on a new job with more responsibility, and I knew that if I wanted to succeed, I needed to work on being able to set healthy boundaries.

I was determined to make a change and the Boundaries Journal seemed like the perfect tool.

I had tried yoga, meditation, and even read books on psychology before, but nothing seemed to stick. I needed a way to redefine my boundaries and put an end to those situations where I felt taken advantage of without me even realizing it. The Boundaries Journal promised to guide me through the process and help me honour my truest self, and I was ready to give it a try.

I did what others do and journaled for 10 minutes per day. This is what happened.

The Boundaries Journal arrived early within 3 days (yay!). The packaging was really great! It came in a beautiful custom white box with a bookmark. They had a BOGO deal at the time so I also got one of their other journals for free. I was surprised that they both came individually boxed, based on the packaging alone they would make for great gifts!

Immediately after I took the journal out of the box I was impressed with how the paper felt and the quality of the design. I especially liked the size of it, it easily fits into my bag when I'm on the go. After ordering online I half expected to receive cheaply made products, but this was designed by experts and it shows.

Day 1

My first day using The Boundaries Journal was all about reflecting on my current boundaries and intention setting. I've set intentions before, but I decided to put on the guided video to see what that was like. And oh my gosh… the journal alone is different from anything I’ve seen, but paired with the video it was a completely new experience.

The therapist (Hailey K.) had an incredibly calm presence and it was like a guided meditation. In the past, journaling felt like an isolated experience, but this really felt like I had somebody holding my hand through the process.

Day 7

After a whole week of learning about what boundaries are and how to set them, I have to say, I'm loving it. I felt like I was making progress, for example, last week I found myself struggling with saying no. I felt torn between wanting to please others and not wanting to disappoint them.

But after the first week, I began to feel… more empowered and confident in my ability to prioritize my own needs. I realized that saying no is not a selfish act, but rather an important form of self-care.

Everyone has similar feelings and insecurities, so mine aren’t dealbreakers. They don’t make me a failure.

Of course, there were still tough moments. For instance, one morning my mother-in-law undermined my authority with my daughter and this isn't the first time she's done this. But I was able to finally communicate my boundaries more clearly and reminded myself that I shouldn't feel guilty for standing up for myself and expressing my needs.

Before, situations like these would come and go without me being able to voice my thoughts out loud, and it would make me extremely anxious and frustrated. But now, I was able to approach the situation with a newfound sense of empowerment and confidence.

Day 14

After two weeks of using The Boundaries Journal, something really powerful happened while I was writing in it. I had this moment of clarity that made me feel loved and content with who I am in a really deep way.

It's like all the journaling I'd been doing to try to understand and stop my guilty feelings about setting boundaries was actually working. And the coolest part? I didn't just know it intellectually – I felt it in my gut.

For the first time in my life, I caught a glimpse of what it truly means to feel confident and to feel love and respect towards MY needs.

It was like this overwhelming sense of peace and acceptance washed over me. And I gotta be honest – I cried. I cried because I had never felt that kind of love for myself before.

There were no strings attached, no conditions, no doubts – just pure love and acceptance. And in that moment, I knew that I deserved it, just like everyone else does.

It's hard to explain, but that moment was a turning point for me.

Day 21

I have to tell you, The Boundaries Journal has been a complete game-changer for me. I honestly wish I had found it sooner, but I'm just grateful that I decided to start this journey when I did.

The guided videos are fantastic, and I love how they enhance the journaling experience. But sometimes, I just prefer to sit with a cup of tea and journal in the morning by myself. It's become such a comforting and peaceful ritual for me, and it's really helped me to feel less anxious about my relationships.

The biggest change I've noticed is how I'm finally starting to understand myself better. I used to be so hard on myself, always striving for perfection and feeling like I wasn't enough or that other people's needs mattered more than mine. But now, I'm learning to embrace my imperfections and to be kinder to myself. It's amazing how just a few weeks of consistent journaling can completely shift your mindset.

And it's not just how I see myself – it's how I see others, too. I can see that I may have been crossing some boundaries with my husband and daughter, by making decisions for them (a bad habit I now know I inherited from my mother).

We all make mistakes and have our own struggles, and that's okay. It's made me more compassionate and understanding, and it's been really rewarding to see how that's changed my interactions with others.

I'm also noticing a big difference in how I handle stress and uncertainty. I used to feel like I was constantly running around like a chicken with its head cut off - worried that I was letting others down, but now I'm finding more clarity and calm. It's not always easy, but I'm learning to trust myself and to take things one step at a time.

Overall, I can't recommend The Boundaries Journal enough. It's been such a powerful tool for me, and I'm excited to see where it takes me next.

I confess - I didn’t stop using The Boundaries Journal after my 3 week experiment - but who would!

It’s true that getting into a new habit or routine of journaling is hard at first. Big changes in the way your mind works can’t happen overnight. If anyone says The Boundaries Journal is a waste of money, I’d say they just weren’t willing to do the hard self-reflection needed to see a change.

My guilt and lack of confidence has diminished to practically nothing, and my future feels so much brighter and full of opportunity. Even my friends have complimented my new confidence before I told them I was using the journal (but of course they’re all using it now, too).

On top of all that, The Boundaries Journal is super affordable, especially compared to expensive workshops, video courses, and one on one sessions.

It's amazing how much a little self-reflection can change your life, but the cost of therapy or other self-improvement tools can be a major barrier for many people. A typical therapy session can cost hundreds of dollars, and a video workshop can cost $400 or more. That's why I'm so impressed with The Boundaries Journal - for less than $40, you get 30 days of guided journaling and over 7.5 hours of video guidance using the same proven strategies, at a fraction of the cost. It's an accessible and affordable option for anyone who wants to deepen their self-love practice without breaking the bank.

When buying anything online it’s good to do your due diligence first. There are many knockoff versions and copycats available on Amazon and other websites, but these journals may not be backed by scientific research and may not provide the same benefits as the authentic product.

I strongly recommend purchasing The Boundaries Journal directly from the official website to ensure that you receive a high-quality product that has been University tested and proven to help boost confidence and set healthy boundaries.

By purchasing from the official website, you can also take advantage of their money-back guarantee if you are not satisfied with the journal. Don't risk your self-love journey with an imitation product - invest in the real thing and experience the transformative power of The Boundaries Journal for yourself.

Here's a valuable tip: The Boundaries Journal is a great gift for friends and loved ones!
