Self-Care #BulletJournalChallenge: Week 5 Environmental Care

Welcome to Week 5 of the Self-Care #BulletJournalChallenge!

Self-Care encompasses many aspects of our lives. You may be wondering what is Environmental Care, as it relates to self-care, and why is it important? It’s been said that our surroundings are a reflection of how we’re doing inside. If our dwelling is messy, our minds may be a bit chaotic as well. Do you ever feel mentally decluttered when you actually declutter? That’s the kind of care we’re covering this week.

To help you think about how you manage your Environmental Care, consider the following:

- Where do you spend the most time?
- Do you enjoy where you spend your time?
- How do you feel about each room in your home?
- What does your ideal living space look like?
- What needs decluttering?
- What can you clean in 10 minutes?
- Spend some time embracing nature

Self-Care encompasses many aspects of our lives. Emotional Care has to do with how we feel about ourselves, others, events, and things in general. The way we feel affects our perspective and can influence how we manage our daily lives.

To help you think about how you manage your Emotional Care, consider the following:

- What makes you feel good?
- What makes you feel depleted, sad, angry, or frustrated?
- What energizes you?
- How do you emotionally support others?
- What do you do to reset?
- How do you relax after a long day?
- Track experiences and how you feel about them

- How do you use journaling as self-care?
- What is your ideal “me time”?
- Do you reward yourself?
- Do you have self-care routines: in the morning, before bed, or commuting?
- What are your barriers to self-care and how can you remove them?
- What are some factors that derail you from self-care?
- Create a list for yourself and others for when you’re having a bad day that includes things you need in terms of what’s helpful, what isn’t, and triggers.

Self-Care #BulletJournalChallenge: Introduction

We’re excited to present the highly anticipated Self-Care #BulletJournalChallenge!

The act of journaling itself is a massively beneficial form of Self-Care, and we believe that it’s a powerful way to transform and shape our lives into what we’d like them to be.

We’ve listened to your suggestions and we’ve created what we believe will be a great Self-Care experience. It will consist of weekly topics related to different areas of self-care. We’ll guide you with weekly posts on our Instagram and Facebook channels to help you figure out your very own self-care plan. It will span over the course of two months to allow for enough time to develop the self-care habit. •
These topics and ideas are contributions from our lovely community (that’s you!), we are immensely grateful to be able to say that this challenge was made for the Bullet Journal community, by the Bullet Journal community.

To join the challenge:
1. Reflect on the week’s topic and share why and how you manage that part of your life with a photo and complementing explanation.
2. Add #BulletJournalChallenge to your post so everyone can find and enjoy your insights.
3. Follow along with @BulletJournal & @TinyRayofSunshine
4. Join the #BulletJournalChallenge Facebook group if you’d like
5. Feel free to join in whenever, even if it’s long after the challenge has finished. This is an experience that can be enjoyed whenever you are ready. Learn more at: bulletjournal.com/self-care-challenge
