HUBU is an acronym for “Helping You Be You”

The Journals are designed for everyone who desires to go on a sincere journey of self-discovery through introspection to find their authentic selves and express the same.

Although the journals are flexible and user-friendly, discipline will be developed to daily meditate, filling the journal and challenge fears. All these help in character development besides the principles covered in the journals. 

The Journals are very suitable for both. Teenagers will engage the Journals from a preventive and developmental perspective, and adults can engage from a corrective and developmental perspective.

With determination, guidance and proper mentorship, within three months, conversations you will notice a change in conversations with users.
