The Battle Plan

Because every battle needs a plan

A three day weekly planner and reflection diary, made to help with the daily struggles that come with artificial nutrition. Small, steady steps, three days a week.

Monday

Motivation Monday

Set the tone for the week ahead. Begin with something that inspires you, set goals you can reach, and break them into small tasks so you get the feeling of ticking things off.

Today's goals and tasksBe a warrior this week!
What is my motivation?What will make you smile today?
Emotional check inHow are you feeling today, and why?
Wednesday

Well-being Wednesday

A day that is all about you. Do something that looks after your mind and body beyond the medical routine: a hobby, some mindfulness, time with someone you love.

Today's well-being tasksLet's focus on ourselves.
Happy noteWrite a kind message to yourself.

Friday

Fly High Friday

Get outside if you can. A gentle walk, time in the garden or simply sitting in the fresh air. Look back at the week and how far you have come.

Weekend goals and tasksLaunch into a positive weekend!
Your challengeSmall or big, you're still a warrior.

How to use it

Each day has three boxes to fill in, and space at the bottom for notes and reflection. Print a page for each day, or keep a notebook. There are no right or wrong answers, and it does not matter if you miss a day. The point is to stop, three times a week, and notice how you are doing.

Carers and family members can use it too. Looking after someone is its own battle.
