I Love The CALYL Self-Care Journal 🩷

A little time for yourself, a little space to choose what you love. Explore the CALYL Self-Care Guided Journal in print, with 90 prompts across 30 topics, from rest and creativity to boundaries and self-worth. Your life, your words, your pace.

90 guided prompts. 30 topics. A little space to explore what self-care means to you.

There's something I love about opening a beautiful journal.

A fresh page. A favourite pen. A question you haven't considered before.

And perhaps a few minutes to yourself.

Our Choose A Life You Love Self-Care Journal was created around that simple experience.

Not another list of things you should be doing.

Not another routine to perfect.

Just a collection of questions offering opportunities to pause, consider and choose.

And now, with its beautiful new lilac Summer Love cover, I'm delighted to share it with you. 🩷

A Little About Our Self-Care Journal

Part of the Choose A Life You Love guided journal collection, the CALYL Self-Care Journal contains 90 thoughtful journaling prompts exploring 30 different areas of everyday self-care.

From the little rituals we already love to the things we might be curious about trying.

Some questions are about rest.

Others explore relationships, boundaries, creativity, movement, nature, music, self-worth and the everyday experiences that make life our own.

And some are simply lovely opportunities to notice something we might otherwise overlook.

30 Little Opportunities to Explore Self-Care

One of my favourite things about our CALYL journals is the variety of subjects inside them.

Our Self-Care Journal explores:

Spiritual Practices • Winding Down • Body Care Routines • Relationships & Self-Care • Putting Yourself First • Hydration • Eating Habits • Screen Time • Creative Pursuits • Music & Podcasts • Reading • Sleep • Nature Time • Expressing Gratitude • Morning Routine • Evening Routine • Meditation • Self-Worth • Journaling • Saying No • Organisation • Over-Booking • Social Time • Inspiration • Motivation • Exercise • Sitting With Yourself • Calming Scents • Clothing • Stretching.

Some subjects might feel familiar.

Others might surprise you.

And that's something I love about journaling.

A question can open up an entirely different way of looking at something ordinary.

A Little Example: Calming Scents 🌸

Recently, I shared a little discovery for our CALYL Magazine.

It was a beautiful pink shell containing a natural perfume balm from an Australian maker called Made by Mars.

I loved the colour, the packaging, the little shell and the experience of discovering something lovely.

It also corresponded to one of the topics inside our Self-Care Journal:

Calming Scents.

The journal invites you to consider:

I love the smell of:

It helps calm me by:

For something different I would like to try:

Three little invitations to explore something as ordinary and wonderful as scent.

You might think of fresh flowers, the ocean, your morning coffee, a favourite perfume or something completely different.

It's your journal, after all.
