Made from a real story
Written by Anne, illustrated for you
Anne wrote STEADY from her own years of putting herself on the back burner. The writing and the exercises come from what she lived through and what helped her find her footing again.
Every illustration was created with an artist especially for this journal, so there is something new to notice each time you open it.
Crown Intentions is about intentionally choosing what you bring into your life, so you crown yourself again: the queen of your own life, sovereign in your own existence. Anne Paphitis, author of STEADY
Made to keep
Beautiful enough to leave out
A specially designed gold-foiled cover, gold-edged pages and thick, cream, eco-friendly paper. A journal to keep, and a gift that feels considered.

A guide at the front, a card to start tonight
STEADY opens with an extensive guide that explains each section, what it asks of you and what it is there to give you, with examples. Tucked inside is a free fold-out quick start card, so you can begin on the first night and look up any exercise on the day.

Inside a cycle
Prompts from the book itself
Six two-week cycles, around twelve weeks, each following the same few steps. Here they are in the book's own words.
Step 1 of 4
Start by listening
If my body could speak, it would say…
Each cycle opens with a slow scan from head to toe. Jaw tight? Shoulders up near your ears? Whatever you find, you write down the honest version.
Step 2 of 4
Choose what you bring in
This cycle, I am choosing to care for myself through…
Pick one area that matters right now, then the small acts of self-care you will repeat. Something practical and possible, chosen for this cycle. These are your Crown Intentions™.
Step 3 of 4
Morning and evening check-ins
Right now my inner signals feel:
Circle what fits before the day pulls you in ten directions, then come back to it in the evening. The prompts stay familiar, so the practice is easy to return to.
Step 4 of 4
Crown Reflections
Supported: “the Tuesday morning walks I actually kept.”
At the end of each cycle, Crown Reflections asks what supported you and what changed, in your own plain words. Then the next cycle begins with fresh intentions.

Pairs well with STEADY
STEADY questions
Anyone who has been putting themselves last and wants a structured, beautiful way to take stock and choose differently. It suits keen journallers who want more than blank pages, and people who have never journalled before.
No. The guide at the front explains every section with examples, and the quick start card means you can begin on the first night without reading the whole guide.
STEADY has six cycles of two weeks each, so around three months if you use it daily.
Crown Intentions™ is Anne’s way of intentionally choosing what you bring into your life, so you crown yourself again: the queen of your own life, sovereign in your own existence. STEADY is the first journal built around it.
STEADY is on pre-order and ships from 16 November.
Yes. The gold-foiled cover, gold-edged pages and original artwork make it a gift that looks and feels considered, especially for someone who always looks after everyone else.
No. STEADY is a self-care tool to help you reflect and make choices. It is not a substitute for professional mental health support.
