One Lap Around the Sun: A Seasonal Gratitude and Self-Development Journal for Stressed and Anxious Women

Have you been stressed and struggling to get out of your head and notice the present?

If so, these journals may be a supportive place to start.

Reawakening your connection to gratitude may help you feel more anchored in the present and more aware of what matters to you, which can support the way you work towards your goals and wellbeing over time.  To help you get the most out of a short, daily gratitude practice, Natasha has paired it with guided imagery.

Imagery practice has a long history in psychological and behaviour‑change research, where it has been used to support changes in thoughts and performance by engaging the visual system and other senses. Research suggests that combining gratitude and imagery exercises can be associated with increases in positive affect, life satisfaction and mood for some people over time, while individual experiences vary. These journals invite you to experiment with these practices in a gentle, self‑paced way.

One Lap Around the Sun

Gratitude, Imagery & Self-development

This journal is for the woman who wants to commit to a year of gratitude and imagery practice, and to learning tools that may help deepen her connection to, and understanding of, herself. One Lap Around the Sun (52 weeks) combines daily gratitude prompts with imagery practices and season‑themed practices. In summer you are invited to rejuvenate, in autumn to reflect, in winter to let go, and in spring to reawaken.

The journal is undated, so you can start your lap around the sun whenever you choose; you simply note how many days you are into your current season. Alongside the daily pages, you will find monthly and seasonal written practices and exercises, some with guided imagery recordings and some as written prompts only. It includes access to accompanying meditation tracks written by Australian registered psychologist Natasha Kiemel‑Incorvaia, which provide guided imagery and reflection to complement the written practices. Outcomes vary for each person, and these practices are intended as self‑care tools, not a substitute for psychological assessment, diagnosis or treatment.
