[@hanagara1907]

I have a spread called "Dopamenu" similar to your mood boosters. Is split in 4, "starters" are quick tasks, "entrees" are longer tasks, "sides" can be done while doing something else and "desserts" are things do make me feel better but maybe not always the best (shopping, junk food etc.)

[@denicethings6781]

I use a lot of spiritual and mental journals and planners and this is so inspiring! Thank you

[@JashiiCorrin]

Most welcome! 😄 Glad you found it useful 💜

[@botanicals_1259]

What would I do without you??!! You’re a life saver!!!! Your videos make me so happy thank you so much for everything you do🩷

[@emilielancour236]

I love how you said that we all have mental health just like we all have physical health. It's so important to realize that we need to take care of ourselves mentally as well as physically. Thank you for putting this video together. Finding ways to treat other people you can search random acts of kindness and it will give you ideas of things you can do like paying for the car behind you in a drive-through, putting change in parking meters or vending machines, having a pizza delivered to someone's house, helping someone carry their groceries to their car, helping a neighbor take care of their lawn, leaving a plant on someone's porch etc.

[@JashiiCorrin]

That’s the wording I needed! 👏 thanks! 😄💜

[@lynne5828]

Thanks Emilie. This reminded me that I wanted to leave a plant on someone's doorstep since the water dept made a mess of their well planted yard.💚🌻

[@aliceblauvelt7835]

to treat other it’s really important not to impose on them. ask what people need. try and make things easier that’s what people really appreciate. fill your friends glass of water if you notice it’s empty. help clean up after class. offer to help someone carry something. remind them you’re thinking of them and you care for them. stuff like that

[@FortheBudgies]

I think she means how to give treats to others. How to give a friend a treat, other than food or gifts.

[@Ry22futbol]

My favorite way of treating other people is to ask what I can do to help! Sometimes it can be as small as a glass of water or as bigger like going out to eat so they can vent, but I know I like giving my friend/partner/friend/coworker/etc the autonomy to decide what they need in the moment rather than having that awkward “pay for the person behind you at Starbucks” thing where it’s just annoying and not helpful

[@ahouston1989]

This was an amazing video. I'm definitely going to be putting some in my bujo. For treating someone I care about I will clean for them. For my kids I will take them on a picnic or let them get a candy.

[@JashiiCorrin]

Such nice gestures! 💜 glad you enjoyed the video!

[@lawra89]

Great video. I have my mood, energy, seizure and mental health trackers on a full 2 page spread. I find this helpful because my mood and energy level are often times triggers for my seizures, anxiety and panic attacks. A gratitude list has really changed the way I look at life, there's always something to be thankful for, even when your stubborn self makes you feel like there isn't, it can be something as simple as being able to breath.

[@AionNoBara]

Omg Jess… thank you so much for your hard work in research and layout planning. Great idea to use green and mint colors, because they are such calming colors =) (I had a mint and grey theme once and it was gorgeous.) I want to write down all of these. Some I’ve tried and failed, but I will try these new ideas. Sometimes it’s hard to separate what’s an achievement, affirmations, etc, too. Sometimes I take notes on YT videos and write them in my BuJo, like ones from Psych2Go and MyStrength app. It’s usually just an overview on a topic with subheadings and reasons why, like “10 Signs You’re Depressed and not Lazy” and “What is Gaslighting?” I forgot I can include my therapy notes and goals, too. I also write a really good quote that speaks to me at the beginning of the week in my 6 ring planner. This week is “Find another way” and some other FFXIV quotes from the healer quest and main story quest (which the newest expansion touches on depression and despair, showing it physically manifesting, how to fight it, how it changes a person, and hold onto hope things will get better T_T

[@TreanasJournal]

This is exactly what I've been looking for... You the past few weeks!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Glad it found you 😄💜

[@FortheBudgies]

Wow just looking at those I know I can't live up to this!

[@ndbyers23]

Treating others: pay it forward-I have had several times in a Starbucks drive-through when I get to the pay area and my drink has been paid for by the person in front of. It really gives you a lovely feeling of connection. It can also backfire if you chose to do it for the next person and they have a $50 order. But you can always ask the barista. Another idea is if you have a garden with flower, pick a few and give them to the first person you see. That type of thing.

[@bonnief1025]

This was very informative. I want.. ALL of those spreads 👀 I have a suggestion for 'Ways to treat people' Now I'm not sure how to describe it so I'll give an example. One of my friends has a nickname (Bee) because her name starts with Be.. So Bees are her aesthetic basically. And so everytime I come across of something like a mug or notebook that is bee themed, I'll snap a picture and send it to her. Not even purchase the item, just a Pic. And I noticed it truly seemed to lift up her spirits. I guess it gives the indication that you're in someone's mind. One of my best friends also does this to me, she'll send me Instagram reels that particularly 'apply' to me and it honestly means a lot to me personally :) That's one nice way to treat someone without costing anything really. It's the little things right?

[@JashiiCorrin]

Like little “saw this, thought of you” messages 💜😄 I do love sending and receiving those

[@bonnief1025]

@@JashiiCorrin exactly. It's a really sweet and precious gesture!

[@IndigenousPeacemaker]

Thank you for your beautifully-presented wealth of ideas for a mental health journal. I call mine my transformation journal.

[@JashiiCorrin]

That’s a lovely name for it! 💜

[@jennahart84]

Thank you so much for this. Having a really tough weekend and just watching this has helped me start to lift myself out of the funk. Watching your videos is part of my self care routine! 🤣💕

[@adylaar6708]

Wow this is very good research on mental health help tools. I remember when i had really bad mental breakdown in college i desperately use my bullet journal for a lot of self help prompts to get to the causes of my depression. Then after i come to terms with it, i have this list of 10 square one. Which is things i need to do to boost my mood. The 1st 5 is a basic necessities of eat drink sleep shower and daily praying. Its very important to me to have this list as a reminder on a really bad day. After graduating i use my bullet journal less and less. Now i feel like i need it again but doesnt know what i really should track.

[@suddenlyezra5782]

I've had professionals call it a feel wheel as well. (All through veteran Healthcare in the US. Maybe it's in the training. 🤔😁) I really like these. Many of them would work well in a "depression box", which is what I call my mental health kit. Thanks for sharing!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Such an excellent name for the wheel, haha 💜 glad you got ideas here! 🥳💪

[@awefull-gold]

Thank you for all the neat ideas! I need to find a way to incorporate the Bingo and Feel Wheel into my personal journal. I have a "quarterly wins" section in my work planner, which always is nice to look back on. For how to treat other people, maybe a note of appreciation to either someone you know or a stranger that mentions something specific the person did/does that you're grateful for.

[@JashiiCorrin]

Notes of appreciation, such a nice idea! 😄💜

[@bethcox3226]

An idea for treating others (and it involves making art, or it could involve making art) This could be for a family memner, a friend, a co-worker. Use index cards as your base and create affirmations on the card. You could cut the cards down into a small size, maybe making 4 from a single index card. You can doodle, paint, stamp or decorate the card in any way that pleases you. Something I did for my son when he was in elementary is I slipped a note into his lunch box. I made up a stack of notes on the weekend and tucked them away with his lunch packing supplies so I could add one to his lunch, especially if he seemed to need a pick-me up. And Wednesday I called "Wacky Wednesday" and I put a joke into his lunch box. The internet has printable sheets of jokes! Jokes could be given to friends or co-workers as well!

[@FortheBudgies]

Ok, OMG, I chose this for listening to fall asleep and it's amazing and literally everything I need right now. I didn't watch, I just listened, which probably made it a less overwhelming list. I could also imagine my own layout or way of documenting these. I'm absolutely going to do this, share this video, and see if I can entice my 14 yo to do it with me. They are having some mental health struggles and their current coping mechanism is to just not do anything when they get anxious or overwhelmed. He's getting into journaling and the esthetics of writing and note taking so this might hit him just right. Actually my husband too. I'm afraid so many ideas will completely overwhelm them and shut them down but I can curate the list for things I see that will help them most. Seriously, this is awesome. Just making a journal like this once would be an amazing exercise. Kind of like a text book or lab manual for yourself. When I started dating my husband I always said I needed a lab manual for him. This kinda seems like one. Make a blank version for him and he can fill it in or I can as things come up so I can remember treats for him or triggers or things that navigated conflict well, ideas for things that we can do together that boost intimacy, etc. Thanks!

[@ThekocholateJournalist]

These are great spreads Jess, sometimes we forget about our own mental health while taking care of everyone else. Love the addition with the accessory boxes. Can't wait for part 2!

[@mckennawatson1189]

This is absolutely perfect timing. I lost my grandfather pretty suddenly yesterday and I've been trying to journal more, so I'm definitely going to try some of these.

[@vextrazz]

I’m so sorry. Youre on a great path to healing. I wish you the best

[@mckennawatson1189]

[@melindalee7845]

This was so well timed, I am moving to a new journal and am in the process of adding more mental health ideas to my new journal. I burnt out last year due to my job. So I am healing but I dont want to get to that point again. For caring for others, go and do some housework for the person.

[@JashiiCorrin]

Great idea! And glad this video was timely for you 😄💜

[@isabellepoynter5193]

When you do your videos of layout ideas, do you put the ideas in one of your many notebooks or in your current notebook? If they’re in a separate notebook, do you personally go back to the ideas to add into your current notebook?

[@sarabeth3016]

She has a “R&D” (research and development) journal that she sets up these spreads in, NOT the journal she’s currently using as an actual bullet journal.

[@JashiiCorrin]

As Sarabeth said, yep these layouts are done in a separate journal that I call my research and development (R&D) journal 💪 because when I make these idea videos I often have quite a few pages to set up so I don’t want them to use up too much space in my regular every day journal 😄 The ideas that I like from making these ideas videos though, those I will add into my own journaling practice 💜

[@Brietron]

wow, i can't believe how many ideas you've been able to come up with for mental health tracking! my year has been suuuper shitty, and full of ups and downs. I feel like these spreads will help me keep track of why i'm feeling a certain way, and how I can fix it. thank you

[@JashiiCorrin]

Most welcome! Sorry to hear you've had a bad year, and hoping that some of these might help make 2023 better for you 🤞💜

[@teabean7]

These are great! Thank you so much for doing this video. Besides being decorated so beautifully, there are so many new ideas I can't wait to try. Lots of screenshots for my JCBujo file! I have a "feel wheel" in my long term bujo. Helpful to pinpoint how I am feeling besides meh. I added "send a card to a friend" to my bingo as part of treating other people. Fun to make, decorate and personalize. Mailbox treat! Have a great week. 💜

[@JashiiCorrin]

An excellent treat idea! 😄💜 glad you liked the ideas 🥳

[@mendyviola]

Great ideas. I use a variation of the routine spread & bingo board, but as a daily tracker for the whole month. I don’t like spending a lot of time setting up my journal (for me spending a lot of time setting it up is stressful). There are a few things I do for my own mental health most days of the week (yoga, exercise, music practice, enough sleep, etc), and I simply check off each day I do what makes me feel good, as well as a daily mood rating. I also keep a daily gratitude log (again for the entire month).

[@flyingwind66]

I used the "happiest/unhappiest me spread" and it's a great way to just be aware of the things in my life that contribute and detract from my happiness 💜 I also did a "self-care ideas" and made sure to list at least 3/category in physical, mental, heart, and soul. This also really made me think about areas that I might be neglecting myself

[@sandyskalicky4265]

Great ideas that I can’t wait to implement. Mental health spreads are very important to me in my bujo! Thank you for sharing and I’m loving all the ways to treat others listed in the comments.

[@Beth....]

useful and helpful layouts! if you're lucky enough to have access to good therapy, i keep a notes page to use just for session notes. it helps me to keep track of things my psychiatrist suggests or make notes of. some times it's overwhelming and easy to forget things after a session. and sending love to everyone in the comments i see going through hard times right now.

I love your mental health prompts to intertwine with this- you are Very Kind and I appreciate you sharing all your effort- Thankyou.

I love this video and the decorations too are so lovely! I honestly want to do every single one of them. I'm wondering what did you use as the 'sleeve' to hold your compliments? it looked like plastic but stronger than like a ziploc bag?
