Many have the idea that journaling is all about sitting in a window seat, wistfully gazing into the mist with a beautiful notebook in one hand and a fountain pen in the other. Ha! Don’t you believe it.

Journaling can be as messy and chaotic as life itself and that’s why we wanted to write our blog "A Beginner’s Guide to Journaling" (head over to our stories for a swipe up link). We hope it will help ease you into a practice that you enjoy and find useful. A habit that above all, sticks!

Hey Planners!

Are you looking for a holistic approach to nourishing your mind, body and soul? Finished your Positive Planner and want to go a little bit deeper into self-care and wellbeing? Well, The Positive Wellness Journal is what you’re looking for.

The Orange One is a journal dedicated to bringing a complete body awareness into how you move through your day. We’ve split The Positive Wellness Journal into 3 sections – Mind:Body:Soul – and each one takes a deeper look at how you can bring more positivity into your life in each area. We’ve combined weekly quotes, daily writing and activities such as breathing, stretching, meal planning and art therapy to help you nourish not just your mind, but your body and soul as one.

The Positive Wellness Journal is an encouraging companion and reminder to bring more positivity into your life. It’s a great journal for someone looking to go deeper into the subject of self-care and mental wellbeing. 🧡

Hey Planners,

We’re all guilty of trying to be too positive at times and it’s perfectly natural. After all, holding on to hope helps us when the going is tough. In fact, there have been quite a few ‘it is what it is’s’ in our Positive Planner Zoom meetings over the last year! But we try to practice what we preach. So we’re keeping an eye on it and working to be as authentic and honest with each other as we can be!

If Toxic Positivity is starting to look familiar, take a look at these strategies you can use to avoid it.

💛 Take a leaf out of our Positive Doodle Diary and identify and name your emotions rather than avoiding them. You could even use our weather symbols.

💛 Get to know your emotions and look to see if you can find patterns in your behaviour. Journaling is a great way to do this, as is mood tracking.

💛 Be authentic and honest and talk about your emotions, including the negative ones, with people you trust.

💛 See that negative emotions are a normal part of life. They are crucial to the human experience.

💛 If you feel you need support, look to those who won’t judge you like close friends or even a therapist.

Why is toxic positivity bad for us?

In these challenging times some of us have tried our hardest to save face, keep our chin up and send out ‘positive vibes only'. Of course, disregarding any authentic feeling or pushing unpleasant emotions down is unhealthy in the long-run.

Research shows that talking about emotions, including negative ones, may help the brain better process feelings. A study found that labelling and talking about emotions reduced the strength of certain brain pathways associated with those emotions. This finding suggests that talking about feelings may make them feel less overwhelming.

Can you be too positive? We have written a blog all about toxic positivity head over to our stories and link in bio to have a read.

We may be The Positive Planners but don’t expect us to be bright and happy all the time. That’s just not us and it’s just not real. In fact, Toxic Positivity is a thing and more and more people are talking about how it can be harmful to our mental health as well as our relationships with ourselves and others.

After a challenging year where we’ve heard ‘it is what it is’ and ‘positive vibes only’ quite a lot, we thought it would be good to put a spotlight on Toxic Positivity and find out exactly what’s so harmful about always looking on the bright side.

Have you ever experienced toxic positivity? 💛

Hey Planners!

Hands up if you can’t get into journaling, no matter how hard you try? You’re not alone. Even though journaling is touted as an easy self-care tool, you’d be surprised at how many people find it tricky to master. Using a journal is our favourite way to manage our mental health and wellbeing, but even we suffer from lack of time, fear of judgement, and not feeling like a ‘proper’ writer.

To get you started you can try other things besides writing. Play is essential for your overall happiness so when you’re stuck for words, experiment with scrapbooking, doodling, colouring, or practising bullet journal grids. In our free Resource Library we’ve got mindful colouring pages and mood-boosting exercises to get your creative juices going. Why not print them out and have them tucked away in your journal for a rainy day? Adding choice within your journaling routine can give you a sense of autonomy, something which is linked to your ability to self-motivate. 💛

Hey Planners,

Today we held and amazing online workshop "Journaling for confidence"

Struggling with self-esteem and confidence is something we all experience at times, it’s perfectly natural. But what can you do to give yourself a gentle boost at these times? Well, did you know that there are journaling exercises and prompts you can use to draw out the positive in yourself? We spent this positive and gentle hour for you to see what journaling can do for you. We’ll also touched on some coaching techniques to help foster resilience and a more positive self-talk.

We love meeting and getting to know our Positive Planner Community this way. Our workshops are always full of friendly and like-minded souls and there’s no need to speak, but plenty of space to share your thoughts and experience if you’d like to.

Hey Planners Ali here, When my daughter was born

Hey Planners Ali here,

When my daughter was born, the first few weeks were fairly easy, but at my 6-week check I remember saying to my doctor that I would sometimes just cry for no reason, I felt a bit empty, I was lonely, I was trapped by my own routine with feeding and changing and the sense of panic that my toddler would run away and ‘something bad would happen’. As my anxiety around risks grew, so did my agitation, the running lists, the numbness and that sense of being on the ceiling watching your own life from afar. I felt a deep shame that I wasn’t coping. All I wanted to do was slip out of the back door. No one would notice. Just quietly leave it all behind.

At this point, I didn’t recognise myself. Disassociation had started and it was the weirdest part of all. I was 6 months in with 2 under 2 and I was utterly broken. Knowing I needed help, I did the only thing I knew how. I consulted Google. First of all, I tried to find out the one thing that everyone that goes to therapy does - what was wrong with me. I couldn’t afford therapy at the time, but with the words ‘postnatal depression’ ringing through my head, what I needed to do hit me. Journaling.

I decided I needed an action plan, so I started teaching sewing and craft tutorials at a local creative hub, I started going to baby groups (even though I felt like a ghost) and went on the hunt for my people! All along the way writing and keeping a notebook of all the things I had done, the things I had achieved and the things that I was grateful for. It was the start of something positive and my proactive self-care plan started a shift in me.

I'm proud of how my vulnerability gives me strength, the ability to be empathic and inspires me every day on our mission to grow our business and help others find themselves again.

Sending love and positive vibes

Ali xx

Hey Planners As part of our Positive Planner In

Hey Planners

As part of our Positive Planner Instagram series back in November 2020 Finn joined LGBTQ/HIV writer and activist Philip Baldwin to talk about how coming out as gay and later being diagnosed with HIV has impacted his mental health.

He also gave us hugely interesting insight into the challenges of mental health within the LGBTQ community and how struggles with mental health are staggeringly disproportionate there. If you missed the chat, you can catch it here on our IGTV head over to our stories to watch. Thank you so much @philipcbaldwin for taking the time to chat to us 💛
