Over a 100 pandemic journal prompts to use a starting point for your writing or memory capture. Each day pick a prompt that appeals to you and don’t worry about about starting at the top and working down the list.
You may be sick of hearing that we’re living in unprecedented times, but also starting to think about keeping a pandemic journal as you realise how different your life is becoming. There are lots of reasons to keep a journal, particularly now, whether it is to help with your mental health or to keep a record for your children. And no it is not too late to start. It is only too late if you Continue Reading …
We’re four weeks into lockdown in the UK, with at least another three weeks to come of the current restrictions. And we don’t know what reduced restrictions will mean. Will the schools reopen, will businesses like shops reopen? I don’t know the answers, and I don’t think anyone does. It all depends on the numbers or until there is a vaccination. So I’m not thinking about when this will end. I’m concentrating on the good Continue Reading …
Just over a year ago I decided I wanted to get healthier, so last year was my year of health. Instead of new year resolutions I set a theme to get healthier and each week I added one small habit. Unfortunately, last year was not a healthy year. It started with a sickness illness and ended with a persistent cold that I had for over two months. So it should be easy for you to Continue Reading …
Have you been writing your journal for several years? Are you feeling bored with your journal writing? Do you think you could get more from journaling? I feel this way. I’ve written in my journal for close to 30 years. For many years it was off-and-on, but has become a daily habit over the last few years. But, I’m wondering if I’ve fallen into a rut. I always journal just before I go to sleep Continue Reading …
I’m introducing 50 small healthy habits during the year which will add up to a big improvement in my health. This is how the first six months have gone.
I’m stuck in a rut of not doing anything towards achieving what I want. This is not how I want to feel or live my life, so how do I change? How do I take back control?
I recommend the book Do It Scared; unless of course you never feel scared. However I suspect everyone who reads this will feels fear sometime. It has given me the words to talk about my fear. So I now recognise when I feel scared which makes it easier to deal with it. I would love you to discover your fear doesn’t need to stop you because you can “do it scared”.
I’m starting 2019 with the journal I was using at the end of 2018. It is a notebook from a supermarket and I love the combination of the colours and words on the cover. However, there is nothing special about the notebook, it is functional rather than pleasurable to use.
It has only taken me a third of the year to start a journal in 2018. As I continued using the undated journal I’d started in August 2017 at the start of the year. My new journal is a change from the Castelli notebooks I’ve used for the last few years. This one is a Flame Tree Notebook* and was a 40th birthday present. The cover pattern is based on Turkish Iznik style stone paste tiles Continue Reading …
