Hey everybody!
If you've been following my mental wellness challenge, you know there's been some really cute things going on each day. Today is day 4 of the challenge and it's no different, today I am challenging you all to create yourself a journal!
This journal can be fancy or simple as long as you start it, that's all that matters. The next 10 days after today, things are going to get real as far as answering questions about your relationship with your mental wellness. A journal would be great to have so that you can get really get all your thoughts out and answer questions that are geared towards much needed self-reflection.
With that being said, let's talk about one of the journals that I have...
Feast your eyes to the right on my "Cultivate Gratitude" journal! In addition to the notebook journal I made that I talked about in the My Best Friend Changed My Life blog post (I included the link just in case you hadn't read it), I also use this journal as a part of my time with God.
One of my good friends and fellow blogger Haley (here's her blog link : Essentially Haley Blog. She has great content especially for new moms and essential oil junkies like myself) was telling me about this really cool planner that she got and sent me pictures and I was instantly intrigued! So I moseyed on over to the online store and purchased the planner. I kept scrolling and I came across a really cool book bundle and my journal that I am going to discuss today!
So with this journal it has a front and back side for each day that you write in it. In the "today is" section, you can put the put the date or even something like "a good day!" Next is the I'm grateful for box, you can choose to put one thing or however much can fit in that box, whatever your heart desires.So each day you write, the journal gives you a scripture that is grounded in gratitude or thanksgiving. Whether it's about God's mercy, grace, love, forgiveness, etc., it gives you an opportunity to be grateful in a biblical way. I usually write the scripture out and if there is anywhere that I can personalize the scripture to where I am giving thanks, then I switch it to "I."
When you flip the page over, at the top of the page, it's asking what is on your heart today. Since I have the other journal where I go in depth in my prayers and letters to God, I try to express what's on my heart pertaining to whatever I put in the "I'm grateful for" section. At the bottom of the page, it has a section for a word of the day and I never really know what my word is going to be until after I am finished writing out the scripture and expressing the gratitude that I feel.
Well guys, that was all for this post, I wanted to keep it short and sweet because how you set up your journal or whatever you purchase should cater to what you need. If you are interested in any of the products I discussed in this post, I have provided tons of links below!
