Boost Binder: Record all the good you receive to uplift you on those bad days

The Boost Binder is a special place to record all the good things you see in yourself, as well as the awesomeness that others see in you. When you’re in need of a boost, just pull out your Boost Binder and remind yourself of all the good and awesome in you.

This is essentially a Kudos File and Happiness Jar all rolled into one with uplifting graphics and cheerful colors to life you out of that funk!

I’ve been using this system for many, many years and it’s one of the best ways to give myself a great boost on blue day. Use it frequently and you’ll have more good days than bad.

If you want to save your boosts electronically, you can save this fillable file on your computer and open it up in Adobe Reader to paste in boosts.

If you’re a paper and pen girl, print it out and put it in your own binder. Each boost has two pages — a fill-in page and a freeform page. Use the page that best meets your needs. Make extra copies of the pages you need as you collect more and more boosts.

If you put your pages in a binder, look for the pretty spine graphics on the last page so you can print them out for your binder.

And if you take this file to a print or copy shop, there is a print release form on the last page of this file as well.

This file contains 42 lovingly-designed pages to remind you how awesome you are!

Keep in mind this is a digital file only. (No physical product will be shipped.)

All of the products in this bookshop are digital downloads only.

Not sure how to download? Below are some common download instructions:

Important: Most mobile devices such as phones and iPads, do not allow for downloading through a link. The exception is for iOS devices running iOS version 11 and higher (so you may want to upgrade before downloading).

ZIP Files: Some of my products are sent using a compressed ZIP file.

Here's how to unzip a ZIP file:

On a desktop or laptop: Save the ZIP file to your computer, right-click and select, "Extract All" (Windows) or double-click (Mac). This will create a new file on your computer in which you can open. If you need to get the files onto your mobile device, add the file to iCloud or Dropbox, or simply email it to yourself. Alternatively, you can check your order email on your mobile device and re-download it from my store. If you have issues with downloading, make sure you have a strong Internet connection and/or try using a different browser.

On a mobile device (phone or tablet): If you have an iPhone or iPad, upgrade to iOS 11 or higher if possible. If you this is not an option, you may need to get a free app to unzip it BEFORE you attempt to download it. This will allow you to unzip the folder to access it. Another solution available on some mobile devices is to long hold the zipped file icon and then click, "Extract." On iOS 11 and higher, you can click "Preview Contents" to view the items inside the ZIP file and then save them individually to your device.

All files are sent using PDF format. Virtually all computers these days have pre-installed Adobe Reader software on them. If your particular desktop, laptop, or mobile device does not have a PDF reader of some sort on it, you'll need one to view the items. Adobe Reader is the most common one and it's free. You can download it here.

Can't find your file? Most downloaded files automatically go to the Downloads folder on both Mac and PC. On the Mac, click on the Finder icon in your dock and click on Downloads to see what you've downloaded recently. On the PC, look under My Computer or search the title of the file on your computer for where it could be hiding.

Note: Some web browsers will load the PDF directly into the browser. You can make a copy of this PDF and save it somewhere that makes sense on your computer by clicking File > Save.

Printing Note: If you attempt to print my PDFs from an iPad, you may encounter an iPad bug that prints the pages without the images. If this happens, you need to print from another location (laptop or desktop computer) or email the PDF to a local office supply store (Staples, OfficeMax, Office Depot) for printing. This is a known iPad bug without a good workaround. I mention it now to save you from wasting ink and paper.
