Every single day I use each of these things and find them beneficial to my well-being, so I figured I’d share what they are with you!
#1. Journal – I was recommended this journal by various people, so I figured it was worth buying. It’s interactive with five prompts you are asked to answer each day.
These prompts are:
I am grateful for…
What would make today great?
Daily affirmation, I am…
3 amazing things that happen today…
How could I have made today better?
#2. Devotional – With a devotional, whatever type it may be, you read just one page each day (seems easy enough, I can do that). I chose this specific one because I had seen a good chunk of people posting about it and it caught my attention immediately. I am personally on a journey with my faith. If you are in a similar situation, I would highly recommend this one.
#3. Planner – If you know me well, you know me to be a very organized person. I don’t buy my planners anywhere special, actually just Walmart. I tend to find myself attracted to the “Blue Sky” brand of planner, where there are lines in each box for the monthly view, and an hourly schedule on the day by day portion. I’ve found with time that I use it best when I am intentional and write down what I am doing each day.
#4. Blank Journal – I’ve always used my blank journals to take notes on any business or personal development trainings/podcasts I would listen to – which I highly recommend doing. Your brain can only remember and attain so much information. Plus, writing things down is another form of repetition that’ll help you remember the information you are soaking in. A mentor of mine once shared with me that she uses her blank journals to write down any thoughts she has. This could be just plain old thoughts that you are thinking about any particular situation, any worries or anxiety you have that you need to get on paper, something amazing or frustration that happened that day, etc.
#5. Aluminum-free deodorant – I’ve always bought regular deodorant up until recently. I’ve never thought twice about what kind of deodorant I buy. I usually ask questions like: does it smell good, or is it the cheapest? A friend shared with me that she has been using deodorant that has no aluminum in it. First off, to clarity, I didn’t even realize deodorant had aluminum in it. I’ve never been one to check the ingredients in my deodorant, but I’m glad my friend mentioned it to me because I now know the negative health effects it has on our bodies (do the research yourself).
#6. Insulated stainless steel water bottle – I can’t believe I hadn’t started to use one of these sooner! These keep your water cold or hot for over 24 hours.
#7. Water Bottle Sling – this fits my 32oz Hydro Flask perfect. I use it whenever I am on a walk or hike so I don’t have to carry my water bottle in my hands.
#8. Fanny Pack – these are making a comeback, y’all. I use this just about everyday in the summer months whether I’m on a walk or a hike. I keep my headphones, car keys, a snack, and my phone in it so I can be hands free 🙂
