Love journaling but can’t seem to find a great Baha’i Journal? We are developing a Baha’i Inspired Journal just for you!
Yep! Here is how it happened: a few of us on a Facebook group page got talking about the lack of a good Bahá’i journal and Lo and Behold a collaboration was born! We were looking to release it at Naw-Rúz but there was so much more planning and organizing to do than we thought, so we have only March and April done! Yeah for us!
For sure Ridván will see it available for download or print.
We think that this will make a great gift ideas for those who love to journal. If you need additional ideas for Holy day gifts, check out the easy pendant idea!
What does it look like?
At first we were playing around with each month having different colours but now we are thinking to just keep it simple.
Here is how we planned the layout:
- The cover is a mandala with ta 9 pointed star.
- The inside cover has a quote
- Next pages are the yearly Bad’i Calendar and the page opposite are the important Baha’i dates
- Each month starts with a mandala to colour
- Then there is a monthly calendar with all the important events happening like feasts and holy days
- Each month will have a place to set goals for the month and the action steps for each.
- Then we saw a beautiful info-graph on what is needed to lead a Baha’i life and we turned this into a habit tracker for each month
- We all need to remember the things that made us smile along the way and keep track of the random idea and thoughts. We gave these a page for themselves in a very free form manner.
Things that make me smile 
Thinking about
- I am always trying to remember a book I wanted to read or did read.
- A piece of music or a podcast I want to remember
- An event to attend
- A service project I am involved in or would like to do: this page is a visual representative of that.
Weekly view:
- For the weekly view we have each week of the month at a glance.
- A planner for meal plans and exercise
Daily View Records :
- The day, the Baha’i month and if there is a feast or holy day.
- There is a quote inserted in the banner section not shown here
- Quotes you love of want to remember
- Appointments
- Tracking a habit
- Tasks
- Meals
- Who you are praying for
- Space to record personal, work and home
- A space to reflect
April Daily Page
Then it is a repeat of these pages for each month.
