The Five Minute Journal app will join Go365®
wellness and rewards program to help members boost happiness,
create space for reflection and improve health
Research indicates that journaling or “expressive writing” has
proven to lead to positive health outcomes, including feelings of
greater psychological well-being and reduced depressive symptoms.
To help members take advantage of the health benefits of increased
positivity and mindfulness, Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) has announced
the addition of The Five Minute Journal mobile app to its Go365®
wellness and rewards program. This collaboration positions Humana
as the first insurer to leverage the paid journaling app and the
second emotional well-being app integrated into the Go365
platform.

By connecting the standalone app to Go365, members who commit to
a weekly log schedule and share at least five minutes to a morning
and evening journal will earn “Bucks” that can be redeemed in the
Go365 Mall for gift cards, electronics, fitness equipment, charity
donations and more.
The Five Minute Journal aims to have users focus on the good in
their lives. With a simple five-minute structured format, users are
prompted to journal every day in the morning and at night and
reflect on what they are grateful for, as well as something they
could have improved on.
“Emotional and behavioral health is an important facet in an
individual’s well-being journey,” said Nate Kvamme, Vice President
of Humana Wellness Solutions. “As we expand our emotional
well-being solutions, we’re happy and fortunate to partner with a
company, like Intelligent Change, and to add this app to our Go365
wellness and rewards program. This is truly a best-in-class product
for new journalers.”
The questions in the app are designed to encourage the brain to
see life in a more positive way. Additionally, as part of the
journaling experience, users are able to upload a photo to their
daily entries, and view a timeline of all past entries and photos.
Users need to journal at least three times a week to receive awards
through Go365.
“We’re excited to partner with Humana to help people build
sustained habits of happiness based on research,” said UJ Ramdas,
co-creator of The Five Minute Journal and co-founder at Intelligent
Change. “It’s such an effective way to improve well-being, and it’s
amazing that they incentivize positive behavior through
technology.”
“The Five Minute Journal is like a toothbrush for your mind,”
Ramdas said.
The Five Minute Journal has gained popularity since launching in
March 2016; it ranked as the No. 1 lifestyle app on the Apple Store
and was featured as a Starbucks app pick of the week. The
standalone app is available for download on iOS and Android devices
to Go365 members for a one-time fee of $4.99. To learn more about

transform their lives.
We have sought out numerous self-improvement products over the
years. Most were overly complex, light on research, ugly, or a
combination. We just wanted simple tools that helped us live a more
fulfilling life and carry on with our day; not 100 step plans and
systems to manage our systems.
We take researched and historically proven self-improvement
advice and distill it into beautifully designed tools that are easy
and quick to implement on a sustainable, daily basis.
