I've wanted a Happiness Planner since the dawn of time [well, since I started blogging about 4 years ago... yeno I have a tendency to be sliiiiightly overdramatic sometimes.] But I'd always found that they weren't the most easily accessible of things to get ya mitts on - they'd always be either sold out, shipped from over the pond [meaning you'd likely end up being bummed by hefty custom fees] or just dead pricey [& yous all know I'm a self proclaimed pauper, so I could never rly justify the expense of one when my rent wasn't paid, I was living off bunny shaped crisps & debt collectors were pure blowing up my phone. However much I tried.]
But times have changed. These babein' planners are no longer out of my reach. I legit have one of my very own [actually buzzin', queens] - and I know where I'll be going next year for one, too. Find Me A Gift. If you wanna banish them blues & embrace happiness this year - look no further than the Happiness Planner January - December 2018*. It's so much more than just a journal - the thought put into this product, its presentation and the content of the planner is just something else, like.
It was one of the biggest tests of my adult life to not just grab the rather posh pen you'll find in the planner's beautifully presented box & immediately fill EVERYTHING IN EVER when this arrived; but I refrained. I did it for the 'Gram, yeno? Noone wants to see photos of my scabby handwriting; professing my goals to go outside occasionally and wash my hair more than twice a year [jokes, it's a bit more regular than that. Just about.]
Unlike ya regular diary, The Happiness Planner focusses on your wellbeing, goals and achievements; rather than key dates, appointments & other boring, adulting shiz. It encourages you to look back over your week, month, year etc & appreciate / recognise what you've achieved, what you hoped to achieve, things you've learned & what exactly made you happy. So what if you were late to work, dropped ya credit card down a grid & stood in dog sh*te by the petrol station... this planner helps you appreciate the good in every day, plan your life effectively & learn lessons from the negative. So dog turd can very much sashay away.
If you enjoy filling things out and really customising your planners so they simply ooze you & your lifestyle; you can't get much better than The Happiness Planner. There are literally SO MANY boxes, lists, charts and lil graphs to fill out - but not boring, maths type boxes [soz for any offence caused to arithmetic enthusiasts, but I just cba with number stuff] - and once you've reached the end of the year, you'll have an amazingly personal, positive gold & black bound book of memories, goals, achievements and food for thought to take into 2019.
The planner comes dressed beautifully within a stylish presentation box; packed with stickers, leaflets, paper clips, bulldog clips, fill in charts to stick to ya office wall & motivate you as you grind and a sleek golden pen to get scribbling away with. Unboxing is pretty special - the whole experience unwrapping ya new planner & the product is so luxurious and sentimental; it's worth every penny you pay for it. And so damn Instagrammable. Amiright?
Your new planner encourages you to:
- Analyse your strengths and weaknesses
- Enjoy & embrace daily quotes
- Do more of what makes you truly happy
- Identify aspects of your life which you can change that make you unhappy
- Set daily goals & create action plans
- Identify a daily & monthly focus
- Plan daily exercise & healthy meals [though movement isn't really my forte at the moment!]
- Rate your energy & happiness levels
- Reflect on ya day to identify & bask in the positives
- Reflect on 2017 [which I can summarise in one word for me: SH*TSHOW] and 2018 as it unfurls.
I've never owned anything quite like it, and I was blown away when it arrived with me to be honest. If you - or a loved one, need encouragement to take a little more me-time and indulge in a lil mindfulness [that could change your entire outlook on life, which is pretty cool] definitely head over to Find Me A Gift's website, lol at all their funny present ideas, ooh & ahh over their ever growing list of brands and defo, defo take a look at The Happiness Planner.
Have you ever owned a Happiness Planner or tried anything like this? Are you as obsessed with it as much as I am?!
