Mindful Journalling For Writers with Caylie Jeffery
Event description
Putting pen to paper for heightened focus, peace of mind and emotional regulation.
Journaling has a wide range of benefits for mental health and wellbeing, including stress reduction, emotional regulation, self-awareness, personal growth, improved cognitive function and physical health benefits.
In this workshop, Caylie will use some interesting techniques in letter-writing and mind-mapping to help you to tap into those thoughts and feelings that sometimes struggle to show themselves, and then resolve themselves.
