Stop Wasting Weekends Presents:

Outdoor Adventure Journal Challenge! – Day Five

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

You’ve made it!  You’re at the end of the Outdoor Adventure Journal challenge!

Hopefully, you have made it through all of the previous 4 days of this Outdoor Adventure Journal Challenge!  If so, then you know…..

  • You know WHY you need to create and Outdoor Adventure Journal. 
  • You know what Supplies you NEED to start.
  • You know HOW to start your Outdoor Adventure Journal.
  • You have a TON of Resources and Inspiration to get you going in the right direction.

Quick note!  Go back and read those articles to get all the resources you need to start your own Outdoor Adventure Journal!

Getting Started and Staying Inspired

Sometimes it’s still hard to get started.  To know where to begin and what to do.  Remember, because you are making an index at the beginning of this, your Outdoor Adventure Journal can go in any order you would like!  Include a weekly spread for one week, and don’t the next.  Include some monthly calendars, and not others.  Sketch, draw, paint, journal, plan, however you want.  That index will keep things organized for you!

But even with all of that, it is still oftentimes hard to come up with clever, innovative, and unique ideas on your own.  Don’t worry, I’m here to help.

And now, you will have about a million (give or take) journal ideas and writing prompts to give you inspiration on your journey! Remember an Outdoor Adventure Journal can include ANYTHING you want it to!  And because it can include anything, I’m going to provide you with two different types of inspiration – visual and written.

The first will be Journal Ideas for Pages, which will include pictures and visual ideas for you to recreate for yourself!  The second will be journal prompts, which are typically writing or drawing ideas that you can use as a jumping off place to inspire you!  Let’s get started!

Journal Ideas for Pages

Pinterest

The very best place you can go for journal ideas and inspiration is Pinterest!  I have a special page set up just for you to look at amazing journal ideas, which you can find here! 

But typing in “Bullet Journal” in Pinterest, or “Nature Journal” in Pinterest, will get you some amazing inspiration as well!

All the Creative Journaling Prompts you will need to start your amazing outdoor adventure journal, tralve notebook, nature notebook or bullet journal! These inspriational ideas and prompts will help you get started on your own incredible DIY journal!

You Tube

You tube is also an amazing place to go to continue to learn hand lettering, how to sketch nature, watercolor while hiking, or even Bible journaling while hiking!

Meet Up Groups

You can even find Meet Up Groups where you can find others who would inspire you, and you can learn from, and share your creative masterpieces with!

Online Classes

Some classes, such as the ones I’ve linked for you here on SkillShare are free, but others such as bullet journaling classes such as these on Udemy charge.  If you are very interested in some specific skill set, such as hand lettering or drawing flowers or leaves, etc. then this might be another option for you to dive even deeper!

The possibilites are endless, and I hope that these resources will give you some amazing inspiration to create your own unique journal ideas!

159 Journal Prompts for Pages

A journal prompt is a statement, idea, or question that is intended to inspire you, or provide something for you to consider or write/draw about.  Sometimes we just don’t know where to start when we are writing, and journal prompts are a way to give you journal ideas and inspire you!

These journal prompts are journal ideas for writing, drawing, sketching, and painting.  If you make time to do this in your Outdoor Adventure Journal, you will discover so much about yourself and dig deeper into what makes you happy.  Sitting quietly in nature, or at home, with these prompts will allow you to clear your mind and focus on yourself 100%.  And let’s admit it, we could all use some of that!  Don’t let this list overwhelm you!  Start where you are, and just pick the ones that speak to you the most!

And that is what I want to highlight: Don’t worry about not being perfect or making mistakes!  We can always do better because doing more of a thing makes us better at it, which means we can never be perfect, because we will surpass ourselves again and again. There is no perfection, only what you can do now, which of course will not be as good as what you can do after you practice!!! Do what you can do now with joy, without worry about perfection, and let the creativity come at your own pace, and enjoy the process!

The VERY BEST journal prompts, creative ideas, and amazing inspriation for your bullet journal, nature journal, field notebook, BuJo, or travel journal! This ultimate list will spark your creativity, and give you even more ideas to plan and fuel your own creativity!
