One positive word spread. You can decorate it any way you like. When you look through your journal... positive word spreads really are motivational.

Think of only one word that inspires you or represents how your feeling. Words have energy and power and they have the ability to motivate, heal, and encourage. They can also cause the reverse effect - can be totally damaging and hurtful. We want to focus on the positive ones :)

Creative art

The beautiful thing about bullet journaling is that your page ideas don't need to be used just as a planner. Every page is your personal choice. It can be a mix of a planner and an art journal.
Using a planner, specific to just jotting down things you need to get done can get boring, at least for me anyway. However, combining the two is pure genius. Getting things done and exploring your artistic side all in one notebook!

Mood Trackers

These are super popular in the bullet journal world. There are so many creative ways to pull this spread or they can be totally minimal and functional.

Focusing on achieving the best version of yourself does require work.
Mood trackers provide you with a visual report on how your mental state is during that month. Then you can figure out what helps you change your mood when your down or anxious.

Self-care is important and you need to take care of yourself before you can take care of others.
