Mind Gardening

Mind Gardening: A Mental and Physical Health Journal is a comprehensive, but not time consuming, way of tracking your mental and physical health symptoms. It also assists in seeing patterns in behavior and identifying which ones are helpful and which are not. This journal is not meant to replace medical or psychological care, but to aid in communicating with those you might turn to for help.

Included are:

• 4 monthly calendars with pre- and post month check ins (4 pages each)
• 14 weekly planning and check in pages (2 pages each)
• 98 daily page sets (2 pages each)
• Monthly Summaries
• Gratitude prompts

This journal will cover three months if used every day.

Inside you will also find:

• Worksheets for discerning Goals and Areas: Goals are things you want to achieve that have specific measurements, starting and stopping points. Areas are those parts of our life that are ongoing but in which we hope to progress. These pages will assist in figuring out how to measure progress and anticipate challenges.
• A Monthly Focus: The Monthly Focus is about picking ONE THING that will increase your long-term health and happiness. You can have other things you are working on. This just sets a top priority. The stars on the days can be used as you choose, to rate your mood, energy, how you did on your goals or areas, or something else.
• Weekly pages: These are for those wanting a more frequent summary than just monthly. They can also be used as a very basic planner.
• Daily Start and Daily End: A series of simple questions for quick journaling and keeping track of mental and physical health, energy levels, and behavior and thought patterns.
• Monthly Wrap Up and Weekly Check In: These are the real power of this journal. Take the time to go back over your daily answers and find the patterns in thoughts and behavior. Use this information to adjust expectations, goals, and areas.
