How Art Journal Therapy Can Lead To A Better Life

How Art Journal Therapy Can Lead To A Better Life

They say that we design our own lives. When we plan properly, each goal that we create and accomplish is a step towards where we want to be - to become our best possible self. With a healthy body, sound mind, proper work-family-life balance, and our dreams just within our arm's reach.

However, getting the ideal life we want entails a lot of work, and tracking our progress seems to be this huge, insurmountable task that overwhelms our day to day. The difficulty of juggling our thoughts, emotions, and personal well-being altogether, how do we overcome this?

The answer is simple: we practice journaling.

What is art journal therapy?

"It's a comprehensive methodology designed to help us capture, order, and examine our experience." - The Bullet Journal Method: Track Your Past, Order Your Present, Plan Your Future (by Ryder Carroll, Harper Collins Publishers, 2018)

Ideas come to us abruptly, and the life-changing ones are often sandwiched in between random thoughts. When we don't capture them, we run the danger of losing them forever. Journaling is the habit of writing them down together with our to-do lists, everyday tasks, things we want to prioritize, big goals, etc. By doing so, we not only immortalize them, but we also allow an organization of thought process to take place.

Trivia: Did you know that our short term memory retains our thoughts for only three minutes?

Why is it extremely important?

Journaling as a form of therapy is an often overlooked way of dealing with our day to day. But scrapbooks, sketchbooks, and bullet journal layouts are visual representations of what's going on inside our brains. They serve as the blueprints of our everyday lives.

You can have a journal for any aspect of your life that is important to you - Be it the meaning of your dreams, art ideas, parenting journey, business inspiration, health and fitness, cooking experiments, etc. You can also have a single journal for all of these things -- it's totally up to you! Still, the core idea remains: Journaling as a therapy declutters our mind, organizes our thoughts, processes our emotions, and helps us achieve our goals. It can help us build new habits, and ultimately design the lives we want to build for ourselves. Journaling is the most personal (and almost spiritual) gift that we can give ourselves.

Living a life of intentionality

The practice of art journal therapy allows us to live a life of intentionality. It is where productivity and mindfulness meet, and our beliefs are aligned with our actions. When we write, we think on paper. Jotting down our random thoughts, to-do lists, and everyday reflections is a huge part of the positive-cognitive effects of journaling as a therapy. It is an act of attention that allows us to really grasp something from our minds and put it into words; cementing and integrating it to our inner selves.

Journaling as a therapy allows us to become aware of our thought process; to realize how we react to our surroundings. As we word out our thoughts and emotions, we make them tangible and see them from a broader perspective. From here, we can choose to create change as needed.

Staying positive, setting your goals, and creating a habit

Life will always throw curveballs at us, but the answer to our happiness and positivity lies in our mindset. An attitude of gratitude, as we like to call it, is vital for growth. It is the practice of listing down what we are grateful for each day that passes, helping us remember the good things in our lives.

We all have a different journey in life. But through journaling as a therapy, we help ourselves discover which goals we truly want and need to build according to who we are! Sounds exciting, right?

Do you want to develop a healthier lifestyle? Go back to painting? How about setting aside time dedicated to your overall well-being?

Thoughts become organized ideas when we write them down and put a structure to it. Once we have defined them, we can create our own schedule, habits, and practices of productivity. Small, constant steps make all the difference in achieving these goals.

How do I begin journaling as a therapy?

Here's the secret: There is no right or wrong way to journal. In fact, you just need a notebook and a pen! Journaling as a therapy should help you assess all aspects of your life, and the best way to journal is to have one that is tailor-fit to to your personal needs. This is what Bullet Journaling is all about.

Here are some key concepts you should know before you begin:

  1. Your Bullet Journal can become anything you want it to be. Figuring out what you need it to be is part of your practice.
  2. Function over form. Your notebook does not have to be beautiful to be valuable. The design should always serve a purpose. If it also happens to be beautiful, great.
  3. Future-proof your design. Your notebooks tell the story of your life. Make sure your designs make that story easy to follow, both today and years from now.

- The Bullet Journal Method: Track Your Past, Order Your Present, Plan Your Future (by Ryder Carroll, Harper Collins Publishers, 2018)

Which journal should I use to begin?

A good Bullet Journal is when form meets function. Flexible and adaptable, it must be the right size so you can bring it in your everyday bag. Soft yet sturdy, it must withstand all the writing that will go down in it. Bullet Journals usually have a grid, dot, and blank pages that can accommodate all forms of journaling that you desire!

Things to remember: Start simple, make it a daily habit, and be patient with yourself.

The creation of ZenART Supplies new line of Notebook Journals from the Modernista Series went through a meticulous brainstorming process. Not only were they outsourced ethically and mindfully, but we also made sure that they are of top-notch quality that can fulfil all your journaling needs.

Design & Thinking

I personally chose five vibrant colours that inspire happiness from within. You can choose from French Rose, Turquoise, Vermillion Orange, Lavender Blue, and Zesty Lime - all of which bring positive energy and optimism. With this selection, you may also choose a colour based on your personality traits. After all, our journals should make us feel happy and inspired every day.

One unique feature of our Bullet Journals are the charming traditional Japanese edging designs that they have. There are five different designs for each of the five colours together with their corresponding meanings.

Functionality

ZenART's bullet journals are composed of 80 sheets (160 pages) of dotted ivory paper ideal for planning, sketching, and free-writing. The paper used is acid-free and ink-proof, which means it won't suffer from feathering when you use a fountain pen (or any similar tool) to write on it! With a gsm 100, it can also withstand ink-bleeds and the pressure of felt pens, markers, and brush pens. The journals are really flexible, with a B5 size (7"x10") which is not too small to freely write your thoughts, and not too big to be carried around everywhere. Each journal includes 4 indexing pages, an inner back pocket, bonus archiving label stickers for keeping track of things, and two bookmark ribbons to help you find your desired pages quickly.

With its 180^0 lay-flat and stay open design, you can get a bird's eye view of your notes because our journals lie completely flat on the surface. It's also designed with a perfectly aligned continuous grid across both sides of the page - making bullet journaling easier and faster for you.

Sustainability

I also made sure that our journals are all eco-friendly and biodegradable. The cover is made of a PU faux leather suitable for vegans, is water-resistant, and easily cleaned and maintained. The archival quality paper is easily recyclable, too!

I always strive to be mindful of our creations. All product lines from ZenART Supplies are made specifically to add value to the lives of those who wish to pursue creativity, mindfulness, and a more positive outlook in life. With these journals, my wish is to help people design and build the lives that they want for themselves. by making art journal therapy easily accessible.

Ways of using the Bullet Journal Method

In order to be on top of things, we need to actively set aside time dedicated to our happiness. Ryder Carroll, the creator of the Bullet Journal method, advises us to journal both in the morning and at night in order to fully reflect on our day.

  1. Upon waking up in the morning, write down your thoughts over the night and any special dreams you might have had. How does it relate to your conscious life? Do you think your dreams are trying to tell you something?
  2. To put an order to your schedule, set your goals and plans for the day: work, personal, business, fitness, what have you. Assign a specific period of time for each task and focus on that. Keep your journal closeby so you can jot down your ideas throughout the day.
  3. At night, have a run-through review of your notes and accomplishments for that day. Here, you can see a clear image of your thoughts, which things you prioritized and accomplished, and how your day went overall.
For artists & creative students

A creative mind is constantly brewing ideas, and the usual challenge is organizing these thoughts. As an artist, putting down your ideas on paper can declutter your mind. By doing so, you also provide yourself with a mental inventory that sees which tasks you need to focus on first, and which ones you can save for a later date. You can then organize your work schedule, designated work and concept flow, and ideas for execution! Art journal therapy meets creative organization. In the next section, we will provide you with sample ideas on how to get these ideas going on your Bullet Journal.
