Hi friends, it’s Carola and in this post, I’m going to share an easy step-by-step tutorial on how to create a self-care spread in your planner or journal.
Supplies Used:
- Self-Care Journaling Kit
- Undated monthly planner (you can also use a blank notebook and draw out a monthly layout)
Creating a Self Care Journal Spread:
The Self-Care Journaling Kit contains everything you need to create your spread, including tips and ideas on how to hand letter headers. For my spread, I first hand lettered the month (July) at the top using Dual Brush Pens and then outlined the letters slightly off-centered with the TwinTone marker. After numbering each day, I drew lines in random boxes to make them stand out.
Once you’re done the basic outlines of your spread, it’s time to add some fun details. The Kit includes four sticker sheets with various doodles to choose from. Since the spread is about self care, I picked out a few stickers that fit this theme and added them to my spread.
To finish the spread, I wrote in self-care activities that I want to focus on during the month. As the month progresses, I’ll also write in moments where I simple took time for myself. You can add a bit of journaling as well to fill out the boxes.
Having a journal spread dedicated to self-care in my planner reminds me to take time for myself and I hope it does the same for you. If you create a journal spread for self care, we would love to see it! Share it with us by tagging @TombowUSA and @FromCarola on Instagram.
