JAN 2021 Special Printable! 🎊

Added 2021-01-01 05:01:03 +0000 UTC

Hello sweet harvesters! I couldn't think of a better printable to make for you in the new year than a Daruma, also known as a Japanese wishing doll. Traditionally, these come in the form of a red and gold doll (I've remixed them a bit to fit our aesthetic a little more) and are meant to be a sort of goal-tracker. Here's how to use your Daruma printable:

1. Print out your daruma any size you'd like. Right now they are formatted on an 8.5 x 11 (printer paper size) canvas, but can be scaled down or slightly up when you change the size percentage on your print dialogue box.

2. This guy has got empty white eyes. What you'll do is imagine something you would like to achieve. This could be short-term or long-term, but it helps if it is a measurable goal. As you imagine it, fill in one of the eyes with a marker. It does not matter which one!

3. Put your daruma somewhere where you will see it to keep you on track with your goal. This could be near your bed, near your desk, in your journal or planner, etc. Seeing it will remind you to keep your achievement present in your mind!

4. When you have fulfilled that goal, fill in the second eye. You've completed your daruma! Some people burn theirs, or keep it to remind themselves of their achievement. Start another one if you wish.

This is what a traditional daruma doll looks like, with both eyes filled in:

I hope that you enjoy this printable! I included four variants for your different tastes/goals. I'll be keeping one for myself, regarding a project that will finish up in late 2021. As always, the files are attached below, numbered in the order they are featured up top.

I am sending so much love and warmth your way, not only for when you read this, but for your entire year! Happy 2021~
