Top 10 Benefits of Keeping a Mindful Pole & Aerial Journal

Maximise your training and class experience.

Let’s be real— journaling might sound like one of those "extra" things only super-organised people do, right? But trust me, whether you're upside-down on a pole or hoop, gracefully (or not so gracefully) flying through the air, keeping a journal can be a game-changer. It’s not about having perfect handwriting or being a diary queen—it's about tracking your progress, staying motivated, and reflecting on all those epic (and not-so-epic) moments.

So, here are 10 reasons why keeping a mindful pole and aerial journal is your new secret weapon!

1. Focus Like a Ninja

Ever turn up to a training session and feel like you’re winging it? A journal helps you focus on what you actually want to achieve. Planning out your practice in advance means you’ll walk into the studio like a ninja with a mission, not just flailing around or getting stuck in a social media hole

2. No More Excuses

When you write it down, it’s official. Suddenly, you’re way more committed to turning up to class instead of binge-watching another series on Netflix. Having a journal keeps you accountable—even if it’s just to yourself (and let’s be honest, future you will thank you for it).(we’ve all been there).

3. Watch Your Progress Unfold

Who doesn’t love a good glow-up story? Journaling lets you look back and see just how far you’ve come. From shaky spins to smooth transitions, you can track all those moments of progress that you might otherwise forget. It’s like your personal progress documentary… minus the dramatic music.

Tracking Your Classes

First up, track your classes. Each time you attend a class, jot down the date, the class type, and the key things you practised. This helps you keep a clear record of what you’ve been working on.

4. Setting Goals = Crushing Goals

Short-term goal? Nailing that new spin. Long-term goal? Owning that aerial routine like a boss. Writing down your goals makes them real and reachable. Your journal isn’t just paper; it’s a roadmap to success (and yes, getting that routine on your Insta feed counts as a major win).

5. Mindfulness on (and off) the Pole/Aerials

Pole and aerial fitness aren’t just about getting stronger—they’re about connecting your mind and body. Journaling helps you reflect on how you’re feeling during each practice and keeps you grounded. Spoiler alert: mindfulness helps you crush your workouts and feel good.

6. Get Your Mojo Back

Ever hit a workout slump? We’ve all been there. But instead of getting discouraged, flip back through your journal and remind yourself of all those small victories. It’s like having a cheerleader in your bag, shouting, “You’ve got this!”

7. Spot Your Strengths (and Weaknesses)

Your journal’s not just for the instagram highlights reel—it’s also where you can figure out where you’re struggling. Grip issues? Flexibility? Whatever it is, once it’s on paper, it’s easier to tackle head-on. And nothing feels better than crossing those challenges off your list!

8. Celebrate the Little Wins

Nailed that tricky move you’ve been working on for weeks? Held that pose a little longer? WRITE IT DOWN. Celebrating your small victories is what keeps the fire burning, and having a record of them will remind you that you’re making progress, even when it doesn’t feel like it.

9. Stress? Who’s She?

Life can be stressful enough without adding pressure to your workouts. Journaling is a great way to unwind and process what went well (and what didn’t). It helps to keep you chill, focused, and ready to crush your next session.

10. Your Journey, Your Rules

Ultimately, your journal is a reflection of you. It’s personal, it’s unique, and it’s where you can track everything from your progress to your personal pep talks. Whether it’s a notebook or our Mindfulness in Motion Pole & Aerial Journal, the goal is to make your pole and aerial journey even more epic.
