You’ve Got Questions, We’ve Got Answers
While you don’t have to follow these steps to feel the impact of Journey Nudge in your everyday life, we think they’ll make it easier than ever to get the most out of your subscription.
How to Use Journey Nudge
+ Step 1: Save Contact
It might sound obvious, but saving us as a contact in your phone will help your brain associate our messages with intention, positivity and progress. After all, a text from “Journey” feels a lot more personal than a text from “1-917-777-7778,” right?
+ Step 2: Take Your Time
Open it now. Open it later. Doesn’t matter. What matters is you open it your way. Some people read the nudge the second it hits. Others let it sit like a fine wine.
Either way, each message is a micromoment to interrupt the chaos and breathe. Read it like you mean it.
Let it sink in. That’s when the magic of a nudge hits.
+ Step 3: Make Yours
Some of our texts will feel spot-on, like we’re watching your every move (we aren’t). Others, at first glance, may seem like they don’t pertain to you until you take a moment to think more deeply.
But no matter which text you receive today, we encourage you to read it with an open mind.
Ask yourself:
Why do I need to hear this right now?
What does this have to do with me?
How can I apply this to my own life?
By searching for meaning and making an effort to view each text within the context of your life’s circumstances, you become an active participant in your own growth.
+ Step 4: Speak Your Mind
Journaling has been proven to improve mental and emotional independence and IQ, making it easier to process complex thoughts and emotions.
Some texts specifically ask for a response, while others are more open-ended statements that simply get your brain’s wheels turning. Although you never have to text back, we’ve found that travelers who regularly respond to our messages have reported the highest levels of growth.
Just like a physical journal, unless you start your message with the letter J, we won’t respond as a chat, and we won’t judge anything you say.
Think of Journey as a digital journal that’s always willing to start the conversation and give you the space to speak freely.
+ Step 5: Reflect. Repeat. Grow.
Want to keep track of your growth over time? Need a little nudge in the right direction? Curious about how you felt a few weeks or months ago?
A text that didn’t quite click last week may resonate tonight because of something you experienced this morning. You can always scroll through your Journey text thread to find hidden gems from the past, glimpses of perspective for the present, and inspiration for the future. Enjoy!
+ Step 6: Have Fun
At the end of the day, we’re here to help you focus on what you think matters—and nine times out of ten, what matters most is the thing that makes you smile. That lights you up. That feels like play.
So laugh. Dance. Build. Wander. Be ridiculous. Do something just because it’s fun. You deserve that.
Welcome to Journey Nudge. A damn good conversation starter—with yourself.
Keep going. See you tomorrow. Yours,

JOURNEY
What Travelers Are Saying
“Burnout used to be my Friday night date.”
Every week, I’d white-knuckle my way through back-to-back meetings.
Then Journey started nudging me.
It started small: a breathing cue here, a gentle nudge to time-block there.
Now I move through it with calm.
I breathe deeper. I think clearer.
And I’ve started enjoying my days again.
Imagine that.
“Turns out, drinking water is my favorite nudge.”
Journey whispers. Reminds. Nudges.
Suddenly I’m drinking more water.
Unplugging before bed.
These aren’t big things.
But they changed everything for me.
Every well-timed nudge feels like a note from my future self saying,
Hey—this one matters. (Because I told Journey it did)
And I listen.
“Sometimes I just need space to pause—and a gentle tug back to focus.”
Journey gives me that.
It zooms me out when I’m lost in the weeds.
Then it zooms me back in with the question that matters:
What’s the next right step?
I always leave those nudges with clarity.
Excited for the month ahead.
Grateful for this pocket-sized coach that knows when to whisper.
“I didn’t realize how many habits I had that led me to burnout until I started using Journey.”
Because Journey taught me to catch it before it swells.
The nudges are timed to my life.
Not someone else’s.
And the mindfulness moments?
They don’t just teach—they land.
This isn’t some preachy app—it’s a daily practice that actually respects my pace.
“It is immensely helpful to have JOURNEY remind me about strategies for nurturing a sense of calm and control in my daily routine.
And then practicing that mindfulness exercise during the times that work best with my schedule effectively bridges the didactic component to the experiential. I’m so grateful that my JOURNEY meets me where I am in such a gentle, focused, and accepting way.”
“I am actually starting to make progress on goals I’ve set out years ago because of the small steps JOURNEY lays out for me. I am starting to have a general awareness of the areas I have made improvements, like the crippling fear of presenting in meetings.
I am also starting to rephrase the negative self-talk messages and give room for self-compassion. Small steps feel GIANT right now! Thank you JOURNEY!”
