The concept of journaling is firmly established as an inexpensive, simple, creative way of not only keeping tabs on what's going on in your life, but of improving and maintaining good mental health.

Journal With Purpose is an essential tool for any journaler, whether beginner or well-established. It's a comprehensive collection of over 1,000 motifs that are perfect for illustrating your journal in a constructive as well as decorative way, in order to aid memory and improve organisation (humans are generally a visual species!) It's especially useful for the more artistically-challenged among us, as there are step-by-step guides on how to draw everything from flowers to flags and borders to banners. There are even basic steps on lettering and fancy alphabets.

Author Helen Colebrook is a hugely respected journaler, with over 67,000 Instagram followers. She says: 'One of my favourite parts of journaling is adding creative touches. These elements really help to tell your story and make your journal an absolute joy to look back through... It covers everything from florals, dividers, banners, mandalas, faux calligraphy and seasonal doodles, along with exercises to practise.'
