Journals Australia

Stay Organised With Journals And Planners From Callie Gift Co.

Okay, so we know that buying journals in Australia is super easy. You can pick them up from your local newsagents, novelty store, or even your nearest supermarket. But what you might not know is that not all journals are made from sustainable materials. At Callie Gift Co., on the other hand, our journals are friends of the environment, so you can express yourself or plan your schedule knowing you’re using a gorgeous and eco-friendly product. But why should you invest in a journal? Well, allow me to tell you.

The Gift Of Keeping A Journal: The Benefits Of Writing Everything Down

If the last few years have taught us anything, it’s that Australians are a very resilient group of people. Having tackled the bushfires, lockdown after lockdown, and, more recently, flash flooding, it’s safe to say that we can persevere through almost anything no matter the circumstance. But that doesn’t mean we’ve come out completely unscathed. For many of us, the last few years have taken a toll on our mental health, and here at Callie Gift Co., we recognise the struggle everyday Australians are facing. Personally, we’ve found keeping a journal helps, and so we hope it can offer some assistance for you too. Below are some ways you might benefit from keeping a journal close by.

Helps keep you motivated. Sometimes it’s hard to keep on top of things. Keeping a journal helps you keep track of everything that’s going on. It allows you to organise your thoughts and schedule. Sometimes something as simple as a journal planner is all you need to get you started.

Helps you process and organise your thoughts and emotions. Sometimes when the unexpected happens, we need time to process how we’re feeling. Research tells us that writing things down helps us organise our emotions to understand how we’re truly feeling.

Improves recall. Did you know journaling can actually jog your memory and improve your recollection? Writing things down helps you to recall specific events, conversations, etc.

Helps with goal setting/focused action. You’ve heard of a vision board. Journals can offer the same motivation, giving you somewhere to jot down your goals and aspirations.

Clears your mind to help with decision making. You never want to make a rash decision, especially if it’s an important one. Keeping a soft or hardback journal to write down your thoughts helps you figure out your desired outcomes.

Helps to deal with stress. This one is a no brainer. Of course, writing things down can feel more emotional at first, but being able to organise your thoughts will help you understand your stress and, therefore, help you manage it.

10 Tips For Helping You Stay On Top Of Your Journalling

It’s one thing to want to start journalling and another to actually keep on top of it. If you’re anything like me, things like work, family, pets and other everyday stressors sometimes get in the way of jotting things down. To help, we’ve put together a list of our top ten tips to help you get back into the swing of things. You can stay on top of your journaling by:

Keeping it on you. Inspiration sparks at the most random of times. Keep your journal on you to ensure you’re writing down how you’re feeling in real-time.
Keeping it short and sharp. You don’t have to write an essay. If all you want to write is that you attended your doctor’s appointment or your partner forgot to do the dishes then so be it.
Trying not to make it a chore. If you don’t get to write in your journal every day, it is what it is. Sometimes there’s nothing to say, other times you’re too busy. But don’t be hard on yourself if you can only write once a week. There aren’t any rules to keeping a journal.
Keeping it simple. You aren’t being graded so write as informally as you’d like. Whether you’re writing in a weekly planner, journal or notebook, keeping it simple promotes effortless writing that comes naturally.
Try dot points. Sometimes we have no idea what we’re feeling or what to write. Using dot points to jot down all those little synapses will help you get your thoughts down on the page.
Ignore the lines. If doodling is how you process your thoughts, go ham. It’s your journal, so make it yours. Draw a love heart, a dog, a burrito. The world is your oyster so give yourself permission to be creative!
Write more than once a day if you need to. There are no rules when it comes to journaling. If you want to write something in the morning and add something later, go for it. Don’t let the idea that you can only write once a day get in the way of putting pen to paper.
Remove distractions. Try and write in your journal in a space of your own. Limiting distractions will help build a stream of consciousness, meaning the words will just flow right out of you.
Don’t edit! There’s no editing or fancy effects in real life. Not editing when journaling allows you to explore all those raw emotions: happy, sad, excited, angry, whatever it may be.
Write an unsent letter. If all else fails, you can always write a letter to your first love, a long-lost friend, a passenger on the train. Gee, even the barista at your local coffee shop for making the most delicious latte you’ve ever tasted. You’re never going to send it anyway, right? So, give it a go. You might be surprised by what you come up with.
