Journaling: Learning Mindfulness & Healthy Coping Skills Through Self-Reflection

In this class we will be looking at how active journaling can be used to help us develop mindfulness and healthy coping skills.

First we will look at what mindfulness is, moving on to active journaling and how to do it, finally we will put into practice what we learnt through an exercise and discussion.

This class is laidback and friendly. We will look at a short clip of a common scenario that we as humans face. We will use this clip to discuss how the character might've been feeling, what they did as a result, and how they could've acted differently. Students will then use this practical application for a situation they've found themselves in and complete the exercise privately in their journals.

We will be interacting through discussion and practice exercises with the class. A private chat with me will be available for students who want to participate but not share to the whole class.
