HALLUCINATORY CLARITY BOOKS
Stationary brand created by Rebecca inspired by MBSR & CBT techniques
STORY TIME!
It all started with one question from a friend: "Can I buy this?"
In 2019, I attended a mindfulness course - instructed by Marg Mills - that provided a MBSR & CBT oriented workbook. Once the course ended, so did my workbook. In 2020, Covid happened... and zoom calls with best friends made lockdown bearable. One of my friends - with whom I shared the love for stationary - Gab, introduced me to a planner that changed my life: an undated yearly planner with prompts to help you break down short and long term goals into actionable tasks. I was hooked.
I had found a lifelong planner, but was still missing a journal for thought & triggers tracking using MBSR & CBT techniques. After many unsuccessful attempts to find a similar alternative in stationary stores and every corner of the internet, I decided to create my own journal. This way, I realized, I could tailor it to my needs and apply the new skills learned.
The question "Can I buy this?", led to the answer: "I can make you a bespoke one! ". The follow up was filled with questions on my end: What kind of journal would you like? Why do you want this journal - what would you like to achieve? What kind of journal hasn't worked for you in the past and why?.... The possibilities were endless! And I was curious: would I be able design something that could help my friend?
The brief was:
no anxiety-inducing and daunting endless pages waiting to be filled,
a question to help me check-in on how I'd like to start my day,
no endless paragraph writings: instead, one or short sentences writing prompts,
and a minimalist design.
The result was "Wild Thoughts", the first bespoke journal I made for my friend Jessie, which I titled after a Rihanna song: one her favorite artists. It's been over a year now since I started creating personalized journals & planners. I've made the decision to put them out into the world in the hope that it will help others. If it does, please let me know! And if it doesn't, I'd love to hear how can we can tailor one just for you. I mean it! Just click on the button below to book a bespoke request.
