I had never considered the power in putting my thoughts down on paper before I started journaling. I have the chance to give myself a mantra, show my gratitude and reflect on all that’s around me. It allows me to stay in the moment or hope for the future.
THE FULL STORY
The Nourish My Mind Journal creates a space for self care and reflection – something we all need. It is more than just a tool for writing your thoughts. This is a place to reach your heart, map your dreams and feed your soul
How you use your journal is a personal experience – I believe when your journal arrives and is in your hands you’ve already taken the first step to something new. Each of our journals comes with their own themes, mantras and energy. By choosing this design, you have already shown that you know where you want to be headed.
For me, this journal is my space for creativity, which for me comes out in doodling. I find that there are some topics that I have trouble getting out and processing in words. So instead I draw. I am by no means a skilled artist, but I will draw flowers and write things on the petals and leaves – inspirational words, mantras or things that I am grateful for. I will draw trees, with the branches and leaves representing new ideas and goals and the roots as things that I already have going for me.Â
When I am processing emotions that feel overwhelming or are complex, I turn to drawing faces. With my cancer and its treatments, there are a lot of changes to my hormones and with it changes to my body and sudden shifts to my mood. It can be confusing, frustrating and can give me anger that I need to work through. My journal is an open space to explore.
With the Nourish My Mind Journal, I wanted to celebrate how learning is never ending. Whether we do it consciously or not, we are all growing and changing as we are exposed to new ideas and different points of view. Some sources help to open up the world and allow us to improve as people and members of our own communities, while others close us up and can turn toxic in our minds.Â
This one-of-a-kind journal design was created by artist Ray Kelley and is a reminder to always stay curious and open. Encourage someone in your life to record the great moments and learn from the tough ones.
