4 ways to improve your mental health
Hi there, journalers!
In honor of Mental Health Awareness month, we’ve decided to gather some suggestions from our team members on how they manage/improve their mental health on harder days.
Our favorite trick is obviously journaling (here are a bunch of arguments in favor of it), but we wanted to give you a bit more than that this time. So keep on reading!
Do you have any other cool mental health recommendations? Respond to this email or send us a DM on Instagram - we’d love to hear them!
Love,
The JoClub Team
This month's favorites:
Write a letter to your future self: you’ve probably heard about this many times, but did you ever try it? These letters are my favorite way to capture a moment and send a message to my future self. I write about how I feel and how my life looks right now. On the envelope I always leave a date and add an event to my calendar, to not forget about this letter. Annie, JoClub Team
Prompts to help you process: Journaling is like giving your consciousness some space to breathe. By putting your thoughts on paper you allow your mind to release, and not be attached to those ideas anymore. You can look at the bigger picture from a more holistic view. And this is the essence of introspection, the journey we’ll be on together for 21 days in our self-awareness journaling challenge. Learn more here. JoClub Team
Self-love fest: create a ‘praise folder’ on your phone and whenever you get good feedback on anything, whether it’s career or content related, or your friends say something nice, or you see something cute, add a screenshot of it there. Then you have something to look through on hard days! Lea, JoClub facilitator
Soothing routines: not sure how I came to this conclusion, but I realized hat cleaning my whole space on Sunday evenings, putting in clean bedsheets, then taking a shower (hair wash mandatory!), and laying down in fresh pajamas entirely changes my mood for the week. Sometimes I add a face mask for extra pampering! Eva, JoClub Team

Hello hello lovely people! This month we’re sharing the story of one of our most creative members who light up the room every time she joins a session. Kim has been with us for a while and we’re so happy to hear (and share) the story of how she joined JoClub!! The JoClub Team Last summer I went to Staples and bought this cheap soft-cover grid notebook. I was in the midst of the worst bout of burnout I had in a while and I had a mighty need to rant about it on paper. This cycle happens almost...
Hi there, journaler Now that we’re closer to the last quarter of the year (what!?) it’s important to take a step back and plan out the next three months. As you probably could have guessed, journaling is our favorite tool to reflect, assess, and plan. However, to make the most out of it, it’s important to understand what you want from journaling. What do you expect to get from this practice? What is your intention? We asked you about intention-setting on Wednesday and you shared a lot of cool...
