Lollygag Moment of Joy Journalling Set Gentle guided journalling booklet for wellbeing, reflection and calm

Overview

This isn’t just a notebook.
It’s a guided moment of pause.

I created this journalling set based on over 12 years of experience supporting university students with mental health conditions, disabilities, and neurodiversity at the University of Sheffield.

These are the same gentle approaches I use in mentoring:

• reducing overwhelm
• creating structure without pressure
• building self-compassion
• and helping people feel more in control of their thoughts

Alongside this, it features Blob & Co – the familiar, comforting characters from the Lollygag Facebook world of joy and mindfulness, designed to bring a sense of warmth, familiarity, and reassurance.

A little Lollygag note

There’s no right way to use this.

You don’t have to fill every page.
You don’t have to do it perfectly.

Even a few minutes can make a difference.
