Avec logs ep.03 | maintaining my journaling through tough times

[@tmc4642]

I tend to think of unused pages as representing the sort of literal space, physical and mental rest, that can be so useful and healing during difficult times. If a planner or notebook is a little friend or confidante, sometimes just having it nearby is enough. They’re endlessly patient. ☺️

I love this. You are so right. It’s ok to let your notebook breathe sometimes. I’ve been carrying it around with me all week just in case I need it to write down my thoughts or feelings. It’s been quite comforting actually now that I reflect on it

[@Autumnichi]

Aw, I love your way of thinking about them 😊💛

[@kj.mclean]

I think what you did with your weekly spread this week is beautiful and human.

[@Jojournals90]

100% agree. A very human spread 😍

[@joistevens4454]

I hope you feel better. I’m glad that you’re able to make good decisions for yourself and take the time you need.

[@annettefertitta6868]

You took care of you! ❤. You have no idea how helpful it is to me that you posted this, you are not alone and I know neither am I

[@cwalsh4992]

100% agree 💖 Hugely helpful. Also I love your new pen case. It's really beautiful!.

[@djoyplans]

Hi Jo, it has been a strange week leading up to the Full Moon in Capricon, so hoping this week for you brings some lightness to your days. Full Moon hugs to you xx

[@Jojournals90]

I feel like everything is in retrograde right now 🤣

[@Autumnichi]

Right? It’s that Sun opposite Pluto that has been so intense alongside the FM!

[@enitss]

🙌 Sounds to me like you were able to do what was best for you. Wishing you a wonderful next week!

[@Jojournals90]

Thank you ☺️

[@Autumnichi]

Taking time out for ourselves is vital and I’m still learning to do it (at my older age!). So glad that you did that for yourself 😊💛 The weather is glorious this weekend so I hope you’re enjoying it too ☀️ (Evri was an absolute nightmare when I was living rurally, but in my current home - fingers crossed - each courier has been wonderful, nothing late, and I get a ton of stuff!)

[@Jojournals90]

Thank you! I’m glad I did too as now I am feeling so much better. I hope you are also enjoying the sun! X

[@annettefertitta6868]

Beautiful pen case

[@autisticbucky]

i hope things get easier for you soon! 💛 thank you for sharing

[@Jojournals90]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@toodleloos]

good on you stepping away from your job at a while! that's not an easy decision to make. I love seeing your planner spreads and it's really realistic i think to have a couple of blank pages and blank weeks. it's all a part of memory keeping basically! edit: o we said almost the same thing 😂❣

[@Jojournals90]

Completely agree. Notebooks should be an honest reflection of what we are experiencing. Xx

[@ellesbooks]

Really hope things get better for you soon! ❤

[@Jojournals90]

Thank you, things are on the up! 🧡

[@ellesbooks]

@@Jojournals90 so glad to hear that!
