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 #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
