Live on Kickstarter, Journalise Journals promote mental health self-care and offer a framework to structure thoughts & gain an understanding of personal needs.
—
Journalise, the revolutionary new journal designed to support mental health self-care, is live on global crowdfunding platform Kickstarter and raising funds to bring the project to life.
In today’s fast moving world where news cycles run 24/7, people are constantly connected to their phones and the line between work and home is constantly blurred; taking care of mental health has never been more important. Too many individuals are walking around overwhelmed, anxious, stressed and burnt out from everything life throws at them. Journalise journals are a breakthrough new product that is focused on helping people work through their thoughts and achieve their goals. Journaling as part of a mental health self care regime has been proven to help reduce stress, manage anxiety and to cope with depression.
"I came to journaling after over 30 years of suffering general anxiety and depression, including social anxiety, self-doubt, and a lack of self-esteem. This affected my mental and physical health spending most days with some form of symptoms from mild to severe,” says founder and creator Mark Morton on the inspiration behind the project. “I had ‘dealt’ with my issues internally in shame and silence. I grew up at a time when mental health issues weren’t talked about; where a man would be told to ‘Man up!’ or ‘Get a grip!’; where you had to be ‘strong’ and not show emotion or pain as a man. I hid it behind a facade and internal walls I had built to ‘protect’ myself. To the outside world, I was generally projecting an impression of calm and control, underneath was turmoil and self-doubt.”
Journal 101 is the flagship introductory journal from Journalise which provides a structured framework to provide users with ideas, exercises, and prompts, that will guide them in understanding their needs, goals and emotions. The company also offers Journal 121 which offers more freedom and flexibility in the pages, and the Go Journal for those with less time but still appreciate taking a moment to reflect on their day and organize their daily tasks
Each of the three journals are packed with features including:
- A5 size for easy portability, whilst providing ample space to log thoughts
- Flexi-cover provides flexible yet firm support
- Faux leather cover with rounded corners for a luxurious feel
- Lie flat stitched binding for ease of journaling on the paper
- 80gsm white paper, an optimal balance of overall weight versus quality
- 2 ribbon marker bookmarks to find important pages on-the-fly
- Elastic closure band to keep journaling safe and secure
- Pen loop to store favorite writing devices
“I wanted to help raise awareness and provide information to others in order to help them find their own paths. My vision for Journalise is based on the intent to help raise awareness of Mental Health Self Care. Everyone will benefit from our tools and advice, but I particularly wanted to focus Journalise towards men, who are traditionally expected by society to be ‘strong’ and not to be emotional,” adds Morton. “I want to see us help normalize mental health generally, and to help men become aware that their feelings are normal. These things can be acknowledged, they don’t have to be bottled up, and help and support are out there. The aim of our products and site is to provide tools and information that will enable anyone that needs them (regardless of gender), on a journey of self-discovery and understanding of their drivers, motivations, goals and aspirations, in order to care for their Self and positively influence their lives.”
