BE A FORCE OF NATURE
THE ORIGINAL STATE JOURNAL
Time outside, fresh perspectives. The Original State Journal brings nature and thoughtful reflection into everyday life - helping you pause when life feels full, explore a changing chapter and build a closer connection with nature. A guided year of personal discovery, at your own pace.
Estimated dispatch January 2027.
ESCAPE THE BOX. THINK OUTSIDE
When life feels full, a pause can help you hear yourself think. When things are changing, reflection can help you explore what comes next. And sometimes, you simply want to feel more connected to the life you're living:
Your time in nature: a short walk or a longer adventure. Begin with the time you have available and find a rhythm that fits you.
Your activities in nature: Move, observe, create or simply be. Follow your curiosity and use the Journal to reflect on what you notice, feel and discover.
Your locations in nature: A local park, a woodland path, coastal adventures, or even just a moment in the garden. Explore somewhere new or see a familiar place differently. Nature is always closer than you think.
A YEAR TO MAKE YOUR OWN
Find your starting point: Reflect on where you are, what matters to you and what you want to make room for. Shape your Year in Nature plan.
Bring it into everyday life: Use Weekly Adventures to explore intentions, record experiences, gather your thoughts. There is space for words, sketches, and discoveries.
Pause and reflect: Every four weeks, look back on what you have noticed and learned. Let those reflections and benefits obtained from nature guide your next steps.
Your week, your own pace: You do not need to complete an entry everyday - although you can if you wish. The Journal makes room for busy weeks, missed days and changing intentions.
I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees.
Henry David Thoreau
SEE THE WOOD. AND THE TREES
Notice more of the world around you - and what it brings out in you. Throughout the Journal, four interconnected areas give your experiences and reflections a focus:
Physical Health and Body: Reflect on movement, rest and what activities and adventures make you feel well, refreshed and restored.
Nature Connection, Sustainability and Conservation: Deepen your relationship with the natural world, explore how you want to care for it.
Mental and Cognitive Performance: Follow your curiosity. Use time outside and reflection to explore ideas, give your attention space and find fresh perspectives.
Emotional Wellbeing and Growth: Notice how you feel, what matters now and what you need next. Give yourself room to reflect as life changes.
