Daily Wellness Journal: A Physical Self Care Planner

by Anne Blythe M Ed and Anne Blythe

As I sought to heal emotionally and physically (and financially) from an abusive relationship, I found myself asking the question: What is self care? I hadn't taken care of myself for years. I'd gained an uncomfortable amount of weight and felt stuck emotionally and physically.So I started to attempt self care. I tried several weight scale apps that were supposed to sync with my phone. They kept going offline and getting them to work stressed me out. I tried food tracking apps that made my head explode (in a bad way). My brain was healing. I couldn't do complicated. I needed something extremely simple.So I created this tracker. It works how my brain works: as a checklist. I found that with other fitness journals, the giant space for Lunch / Breakfast / Dinner was always blank at the end of the day. I couldn't remember what I ate. I realized I needed a checklist. With a checklist, I actually ate a few veggies. Some days my veggies were literally, a raw bell pepper, a cucumber, a carrot, a piece of broccoli. But the good news was: I did it Remembering to weigh myself once a week (like the experts recommend) just wasn't working. I needed the same exact routine everyday. I enter my weight in the "Self Care Intention" section, since that's what I'm working on. For other women, focusing on their weight is a bad idea. So use that section any way you choose. The Daily Wellness Journal helps me accomplish simple everyday wellness tasks that have improved my emotional and physical health dramatically. It includes other pages at the back you can remove and use in anyway that works for you. Great for anyone who loves checklists. Best of all, you get to circle: Nailed It Anne Blythe is the producer and host of the Betrayal Trauma Recovery podcast and founder of Betrayal Trauma Recovery, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit online community for victims of abuse.
