Re-energisers

Ideas for relaxing downtime

In order to deal with day-to-day challenges and make yourself feel good, it’s important to take care of yourself and do something nice that benefits you – this is what self-care means. Nowadays, self-care is the word on everyone’s lips, and a journal is the perfect creative space to collect and display all your re-energising ideas. Some people like to practise yoga or relax with a calming cup of tea, whilst others listen to their favourite music or jump on their bikes. With edding gel rollers, you can sketch, colour and jot down your ideas in whatever way you like. There’s a choice of 12 colours, including glossy metallic and pastel shades.

Step-by-step

Step 1

First, download the “energy givers” template and print out a copy. Use the edding gel rollers to add your designs – these also come in decorative metallic shades and in white.

Step 2

Place the template under the page of your journal so that the sketch-style motifs are visible, enabling you to trace over them with a pencil.

Step 3

If you like, you can also draw freehand and choose to add coordinating motifs on the theme of self-care tracking.

Step 4

Once you’ve got everything prepared, it’s time to add some colour! Colour in the mini motifs using the gel roller and add suitable text. The metallic shades let you create striking lettering.

Step 5

You can also add designs to dark-coloured paper with the metallic shades and the white gel roller. This helps to create a real stand-out page in your journal.
