Building mental wellness on a foundation of strength
Skinnyhobbit was recently asking about my bullet journalling setup, and now I'm finally getting around to writing about it. I've journalled off and on since I was a kid. I didn't journal every day, just when I felt like I had something to say, and it was basic narrative style. I kept my old journals… Continue reading How My Bullet Journalling Style Has Evolved
Here's my lovely little man Peanut alongside my 2020 bullet journal. It's hardcover, and quite a bit bigger than my 2019 journal. It's got lots of sparkle on the front, which is cool, particularly since I'm entirely unartistic and there's nothing fancy about what I put inside (aside from stickers). I've kept a lot of… Continue reading 2020: New Year, New Bullet Journal
As another bullet journal is getting full, it's time to start thinking about what my next one is going to involve. The stock photo above shows a Stabilo highlighter. I've heard good things about these. However, I already have some highlighters lying around, so no Stabilos for me until those babies get used up or… Continue reading Planning My Next Bullet Journal
The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Carroll is the original Bullet Journal®. Before reading this book, I was vaguely aware that there was an official bullet journal website, but what I learned about bullet journalling came from other bloggers and from Pinterest. It turns out my journal is very different from a Bullet Journal. Bullet Journalling… Continue reading Book Review: The Bullet Journal Method
This is my new bullet journal to start off 2019. It's made from 100% recycled paper, so it's nice and environmentally friendly. It's a soft-cover journal, although it's fairly stiff. Here's what I've got laid out in it so far: Each month gets two one-page monthly calendar overviews; one is for tracking mood/emotions, and the… Continue reading New year, new bullet journal
Depression does a number on my recall ability, so I turn to my bullet journal to help me look back on 2018 from a health perspective. The chances of my illness ever going back into full remission seem very slim at this point, so I think it's probably better if I set aside hopes of… Continue reading 2018 year in review: Health
I recently had some additions to my journal family when I got my thank you goodies for judging Revenge of Eve's P4J contest. Rather than saving some journals for later, I decided to get all four going at once, each with a slightly different purpose. As you can see below, I'm one of the most… Continue reading Another Journalling Update
I first started journalling a little over 2 months ago, and I'm still loving it. The small notebook I started with just didn't have enough room to hold all that I wanted to cram in, so now I've got two notebooks on the go. I found it was easiest to do a lot of day-to-day… Continue reading A Bullet Journalling Update
While I'd heard of bullet journals before, it was a post by Alys at Alys Journals that finally got me sufficiently motivated to give bullet journalling a try, and vacation seemed like a perfect time to take the plunge. What I realized as I was getting started was that it's actually much how I used to… Continue reading I’m in Love – with Bullet Journalling
