How A Bullet Journal Improved My Life
This is a Bullet Journal! As you can see there are little tabs to show where things are inside of the journal which I will get into a little bit later, but first I would like to tell you why I decided to create one of these. :)
How many of you guys out there have a:
- Calander
- Notebook
- Financial Income Book
- Gratitude Journal
- Diary
- Notes To Look Back At
- Bible Reflections Book
- Bucket List
- Thoughts To Reflect On Notebook
I had all of theses and more, which created papers, notebooks, files and everything EVERYWHERE! I had multiple, and I wanted all of it in one! So thats where this Nifty journal came in the picture. One day I went to Barnes and Noble and said Im going to create something myself so I have everything in one place, and its more organized and not all over the place. Come to find out, this has already been done. hahah, I looked up on youtube and so many people already had their own journals of this exact same thing.
I use the whole journal everyday because it is basically my baby and the only thing I require now. I don't have to go from journal to journal to find anything. It is all right here in this little book that holds SO MUCH! Like the list above I have those and so much more inside of this journal and just separated it by 30-100 pages depending on the topic.
My Journal includes:
Diary - About 100 pages - I write basically everything that happened in my day or things that I just want to talk about to myself.
Habits To Let Go- About 30 pages in case I want to add more things into my daily life, Right now my habits include - Being Sober (So not Drinking anymore, Sexual Explicit Movies (So Not Watching Porn) & Biting My Nails (Not Biting My Nails) I have created a month from May all the way to December and I check mark next to the days that I didn't drink, and I circle the days that I did.
Gratitudes - 50 pages- Every morning I am thankful for something or everything - I like to write those down to start my morning and get me in a place of gratitude!
Bible Reflections- 50 pages - I honestly am not very into the bible, and I was trying to get myself into the habit of reading it to understand it a little deeper, So I put it in. I haven't been very invested into this section as much.
Calendar/Moon Cycles- I have about 20 pages here - I use both pages and create a calendar of the month and what I am going to be doing during this month. I also have a Key that shows what exactly everything means and I can put my monocycle in there and when I stopped. I wanted to get 1 book done at the end of the month and so far I have 2- I wanted to get 4 poems done and I got those done. There were multiple other things I wanted to get done that I just didn't write but I did them. Next month I will understand deeper of what I am looking to put in my calendar. As you can see in the picture below - I am also still making it a habit to come back to this part of the journal lol. And as you can see I have sucked with my habits that I want to add to my life but thats okay WE ALL START SOMEWHERE RIGHT!? And Adding this to my life is one huge habit anyways.
Thoughts & Words To Look At- There comes times where I am reflecting and looking at my brain and seeing that I don't like a certain thought that just went through my head, so I write it down in this section nd I make myself look at it and reflect on why it is there and what we can do to move through that thought on to bigger and better thoughts
Bucket List - I have a huge bucket list of things here that I want to do before I exit the planet :)
THEN I realized I wanted to add more so if you go back to the top picture you'll see I have some tabs at the bottom as well - I stuck these in my Diary area since I gave myself 100 pages of writing (I made sure I put enough room in one of the sections in case I wanted to add another topic haha)
Astrology - I LOVE ASTROLOGY- It is basically my life - One of the main reasons I had Bible reflections is because I was going go through the bible and look for all the astrological symbolism inside of the bible and correlate it back to astrology. Why would God put us here without a language to understand - Thats where the stars and the sky come in - The ancients did it so why not go back to the roots.
Easy Money Flows Like Honey- This is my Income, Financial Planner - I write about my thoughts on money and also how much i have been creating in the world and what I am giving my money out to.
Sex/Love/Relationships - This is where I talk about Partners, Love, Sex and diving deeper into what I am looking for or what I like.
You can add anything you want, this is just my categories and what really stands out for me that I know I wanted inside of it. I feel so much more organized and I loooove that its the first thing I go to every morning to write down my gratitudes and write. I separated each section by Tape btw. literally just cut pieces of tap and folded it along the paper where I wanted it separated in the journal. If you have created a Bullet Journal I would loooove to see whats in yours or if you decide to create one, post a picture in the comments! Also if you would like to connect with me on other platforms I will post those below as well, but I am the most active on Steemit ;)
