(SPOT.ph) Raise your hand if you have that sense of dread on Sunday nights. There's a collective grunt at the realization that the weekend is basically over, and it's Monday—a.k.a bane of every employee's existence—again the next day. (No hate to our boy Monday, especially its mornings, but why do you have to be the first day of the work week?) You can't help but stress a bit thinking about the days ahead. We know we can't get rid of said thoughts with a snap of a finger, but you know what we can do? Scribble our thoughts, worries, and plans away with a pen and paper. Yep, we're talking about journaling and intentional planning, baby.

This journal will help you start your work week on a positive note.
You can transform your Sunday nights (all your nights, rather) and "establish a positive, purposeful, and grateful mindset towards the week ahead" with life and career coach Aurora M. Suarez's Sunday Night Journal Volume 5: In Bloom.
"It helps you start your week with positivity, set meaningful priorities, and get things done," said Suarez on her website. "The Sunday Night Journal is a beautiful practice to connect with yourself, be clear about your intentions for the week, feel gratitude for all you have in your life and say goodbye to the dreaded Sunday night (and Monday morning) blues."
The 52-week undated—so you can start anytime in the year—journal and self-care ritual comes with pages that help you do exactly that, other than putting your ducks in a row. 1) There are journaling prompts where you can "deepen your connection with yourself and get to know yourself better"; 2) weekly reviews and planning pages where you can view the past week in retrospect: "think about what went well and what could have gone better;" and 3) monthly, mid-year, and annual check-in pages that "allow you to pause, evaluate your direction, and recalibrate." It's more than just a journal and a planner at this point.
The A5 journal includes a ribbon bookmark and two rolls of washi tape: one has weekly journaling prompts, and the other, with its dainty bud design, you can use to busy yourself decorating the pages if you're not in the mood for writing.

The Sunday Night Journal Volume 5: In Bloom retails at P999 and is available online.
