How you choose to use this self care journal is entirely up to you, there is no "wrong

way" or "right way" the goal of this journal is to help you make conscious decisions

so you can live a happier, healthier life.

The daily pages were designed to help you build healthy daily habits. It is when we

take consistent daily actions that we create habits. By tracking your daily progress

you can see self growth and feel proud about the progress you're making. The daily

self care trackers for general health and well being include: sleep, mood, water,

exercise, and meals. These trackers will help you focus on taking good care of your

body by eating right, exercising regularly, and getting plenty of restful sleep.

Healthy thoughts create healthy behaviors so we've also included a place on the

daily pages for you to express your Morning Gratitude and Your Daily Affirmations.

By staying focused on your affirmations throughout the day you will stay more

motivated and inspired to stay on track with your daily actions and plans. The daily

practice of gratitude is an important act of self care because it shifts your mindset

from scarcity to abundance.

We've also included a space on the daily pages for you to write in your Morning

Journal. Journaling first thing in the morning has been found to help people deal

with stress and overwhelm, it helps them clear their minds and start their days off

more productively.

The daily pages also includes a list of Today's Priorities. Having a list of priorities each

day will help you relieve stress, you will have a list of daily priorities so you can stay

focused and on track, this will help your life feel manageable and less overwhelming.

The daily pages also includes a Self Care Plan for the day, it's important to have a

daily self care plan to manage stress and enhance health and well being. The areas

you can address in your self care plan can include physical, emotional, spiritual,

social, intellectual, occupational, and environmental. If you create a daily plan and

write it in your journal you are more likely to follow the plan, this also gives you the

opportunity to follow your progress and see your personal growth.

At the end of each week's daily pages there are two blank pages for you to doodle

or journal, these are pages for you to clear your mind. Enjoying a quiet mind is a

wonderful act of self care because you'll feel less anxious and as a result this will

make you feel happier.

At the beginning of each week, we have inspiring quotes on coloring pages. These

quotes are meant to inspire you to put yourself first. We've also provided beautiful

uniquely designed coloring pages for you to have a fun, relaxing, anti-stress activity

each week. These coloring pages are meant to be colored with coloring pencils or

crayons as gel pens, ballpoint pens or markers will bleed through the pages.

The Monthly Trackers are 30 Day At-a-Glance Trackers for easy tracking of Sleep,

Mood and Habits. These are color coded trackers, again we recommend that you

only use colored pencils or crayons due to gel pens, pens, and markers bleeding

through the pages. These trackers will make it easy for you to track patterns and

cycles over a 30 day period.

We have also provided three 30 Day Monthly Challenges for you to enjoy each

month. The monthly challenges are a way for you to focus on a specific goal every

month towards developing a happier and healthier self-care mindset.

At the end of the journal we have two exercises to help you on your Self Care

Journey. One is the Happy List Exercise and the other is the Self Care Activities On
