Description
My Sensory Life Journal
Your Words. Your Choices. Your Sensory Life.
A creative, spacious journal for adults to explore sensory experiences, everyday activities and the support that matters to them.
Some days you may want to write. On others, a colour, a drawing or a few words may be enough. This journal gives you a place to notice, reflect and return, at your own pace.
Make space for your words, your choices and your sensory life.
Begin With What Matters to You
Sensory experiences happen within a whole life. A sound, movement, place or activity may feel different depending on the day, your health, the demands around you and the people you are with.
My Sensory Life Journal invites you to explore those experiences with curiosity. Notice what feels comfortable, what takes more effort and what may make rest, work, learning, relationships or other meaningful activities more possible.
Use it independently or in co-production with someone you trust. Your communication, priorities and choices guide what is recorded and what happens next.
Choose the pages and ways of recording that feel useful to you.
What Is Inside?
Personal Sensory Ladders®
Introductory guidance and three, four and five level templates to explore changing states, what you notice and what may support you. Choose your own words, images or symbols.
My Sensory Spider™
Eight-part personal maps for exploring sensory experiences and possibilities around an aim or everyday context. Brief guidance connects your spider with your ladder.
Everyday Diaries and Sensory Tracks™

Sensory Spaces and Practical Support
Pages for rest, sleep, feeling organised and grounded, and a portable sensory tool kit. Explore what could change around you as well as what you might choose to try.
Room for Reflection

Make It Your Own
Begin with a question, an activity or a moment you want to understand. Choose a page, use the prompts that fit and leave the rest. You can return when it is useful.
Write, draw, use colour, add symbols or work through a conversation with someone you choose. If another person contributes, agree what they may record, read or share.
The journal offers a reflective starting point. Patterns you notice can open a conversation and help you decide what to explore further.

Each licensed professional may reproduce the permitted person-facing journal and reflection pages for people they directly support, including copies for completion and the person’s own records. Keep the title, authorship, copyright and licence identification on those copies.
Named licences cover the people using the resource independently. Shared logins, circulation of the blank resource to unlicensed colleagues, shared resource collections, translation, local rebranding, training delivery and wider organisational platform use require the appropriate written permission.
The person’s own completed journal belongs with their choices about who may read or receive it. Attribution and a professional licence do not replace consent.
Read The Sensory Project’s attribution and use guidance alongside the licence supplied with your purchase.
