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

Hi Global Minds! Exhale – you've made it to the weekend! Time to set those notifications to silent and breathe a little. How's your creative energy holding up? This week has been a beautiful chaos of filming, editing, and putting together something special for all of you. Just launched a new YouTube deep-dive AND opened registration for our Free Creator Career Blueprint Workshop! As always, I've curated this weekend's recommendations with care - because what you consume today influences what...
Written on June 17th, feeling like Summer is finally here in Belgium so I treated myself to writing at a cafe with a nitro cold brew, caffeine coursing through my veins, vibing like I'm a travel journalist in the wild. Hi Global Minds Since my new show, Big Little Italy, came out on National Geographic, I've gotten tons of questions about how this happened. How did I go from YouTube to Netflix, to Nat Geo? *I'm still shocked that it happened, AHHH!* But first, a flashback. It's 2020. I'm in a...
Back in my office in Antwerp, Belgium with frigid fingers because Spring is struggling to make a full entrance. But I'm back, baby. Hi Global Minds There's something uncomfortably poetic about returning home to stillness after so much movement. The silence is deafening. My passport is worn, my voice is hoarse from speaking so much in five languages, and my heart is full from connections that spanned continents. But all of this commotion came at a cost: I've been noticeably absent online. And...
