#BulletJournalChallenge: Self-Care Challenge
/We’re excited to present the highly anticipated Self-Care #BulletJournalChallenge!
Self-Care is an important part of our daily lives and it’s a topic we’ve noticed has been prevalent in the community over the past year or so. After taking a poll from the community, we took your suggestions into consideration to create what we believe will be a great Self-Care experience. We also listened to how you’d like the challenge to be longer than a month in order to take the time to develop the habit of self-care, which is why we’re excited to announce that it will span over the course of two months!
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.
This challenge, or experience if you will, consists of weekly topics related to different areas of self-care. We’ll guide you with weekly posts on our Instagram and Facebook channels that will help you figure out your very own personal self-care plan.
Here are the weekly topics along with ideas to get the ball rolling. These topics and ideas are contributions from our lovely community, we are immensely grateful to be able to say that this challenge was made for the Bullet Journal community, by the Bullet Journal community.
