How to use the Moon Play Moon Journal Part 1-Daily Snapshot

There are many moon journals out on the market these days as aligning to cyclical living and reclaiming our femininity is top of the mind for women and female-identifying entrepreneurs. I created my own as an answer to my own needs in regards to tracking my daily life and analyzing the data I collected over the periods that are marked by the moon phases. 

The Moon Play Moon Journal is a minimalist moon journal that contains the pages for tracking our daily activities and vibe with the moon as well as pages for moon rituals and seasonal reflection. In this series, I will be sharing how I use each section of the moon journal and the benefits of this spiritual self care routine.

For this first post, I will demonstrate how to use the daily snapshot pages and the benefits of using it. 

What is the Moon Play Moon Journal Daily Snapshot, and Why Does it Matter?

The Daily Snapshot is a daily habit tracker page in the Moon Play Moon Journal that helps you align with the energy of the moon. It is structured to allow you to incorporate a spiritual practice in the morning and evening.

Doing a daily check like this allows you to make space for yourself and tune into your inner wisdom so that you may attend to your own needs. This is the ultimate form of self care. Just a few minutes in the morning and the evening to take notes on your vibe, pull an oracle card or two and set intentions. Then you can revisit the morning notes when you make notes on what occurred during the day and how it impacted your vibe.

Benefits of the Moon Play Daily Snapshot

I’ve been using this routine for 4 years now. It has become so ingrained in my everyday life, that it feels weird to NOT do it. Even my family knows that once mom pulls out her journal, it’s almost time for bed. 

Since I started tracking my days in this way, time has seemed to expand for me. It seems that I have more time and the days don’t seem to fly by so fast that I can’t enjoy them. This practice is part meditative, part data collection.

Things I’ve noticed since starting a daily tracking practice:

• I’m more aware of myself
• I’m in tune with the moon and it’s cycles
• I’m aware of the collective vibe and how it affects me
• My relationship with my partner has deepened due to “Sexy Time” tracking
• I can predict the start of my monthly cycle by the moon sign
• I have more to celebrate and be grateful for
• I look forward to my rituals and reflections
• I’ve cultivated more trust in myself and my path
• I plan my life with the cosmic energies more intuitively
• I’m working and living in the flow of the cosmic energies instead of against them
• I’ve developed more trust in perfect timing
• I have more data to really benefit from weekly and monthly reflection times
• I’m often surprised by how full and beautiful life is

There are so many reasons to start a daily tracking practice and the Daily Snapshot page makes it easier.

I don’t like journaling

Since I started on my personal development journey, it’s always been recommended to me to journal. I despise journaling! It feels so inauthentic and contrived, I just can’t do it! That’s why I made the journal more of a bullet journal. The daily snapshot page has just enough room to make bullets. Or you can add more blank pages between for more journaling if that’s your bag. 

This is why I made it a discbound journal. So you can expand or minimize it to your heart’s content. When I travel, I can remove the excess pages that I won’t need on the road. Which makes it more portable and easier to pack.

Alright, enough of the benefits, let’s get started on a new daily habit!
