Navigating Chronic Illness Self-Advocacy Journal: Medical Expense Log πŸ“–

Why track expenses in a journal!? Well, we added this section based on personal needs during flare ups! πŸ’œ

Here are a few ways it can be helpful for you! ✨️

1. Pen/pencil & paper vs. devices:

Instead of devices may be preferred - especially when going through a flare up. πŸ–Š

2. Everything in one place:

Keeping your medical expenses log with the rest of your important health stuff makes it easy to remember where and when expenses occurred (I.e. logging out of pocket prescription expenses, following an appointment) πŸ“–

3. Customizable:

Maybe you prefer to colour code your expenses page, to cut down on writing. Or perhaps create short forms for quick reference! 🎨

4. Receipts Pocket:

Who doesn't love a pocket!? We have a pocket inside the back cover of our book, as well as an elastic to secure everything in place. πŸ“ƒ




Do you prefer devices/applications or pen & paper to track your expenses!?

Art therapy + your favourite outdoor location: Where are you and your NCI Journal headed!? ✨️

One of us is an artist, who thoughtfully curated exercises that we have included in the "Art Therapy" section of our NCI Journal, to help encourage creativity 🎨

One of us is not an artist, but absolutely loves being creative on the beach 🌊

The best thing about art therapy is, its just for you! To express your creativity in whatever works for you. πŸ’œ

We understand how limiting or restricting chronic illness, chronic conditions, chronic pain can be at times and this is why we included an art therapy section.

Somedays outdoors may look like opening a window in your living space to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature... 🐦
.. and some days it may be venturing out in nature to find a nice bench in a park. 🌳

Paint the picture for us - what does your ideal outdoor art therapy space look like!? Let us know in the comments!

Reminder: How you FEEL matters.✨️

It can be so easy to dismiss how you feel or maybe think you are overreacting - when that is not the case at all. πŸ’œ

This is a friendly reminder to be kind to yourself and always remember that how you feel truly matters. πŸ™ŒπŸ½

Journaling can be a helpful way to track how you feel, for a reference point for yourself in the future!Something that may seem small or insignificant maybe be more important than you know. πŸ“–

Forever looking for peaceful moments and relaxing places to journal. πŸ“–

Taking a moment to be present, grounded, to look up to the sky and to take in the fresh air. πŸ’œ
