| While our lives may be constantly on the move, and the convenience of having so much at our fingertips in digital form, there is a great deal of benefit to putting pen to paper. According to Psychologist Lara Jakobsons, MD, (2017), we are forced to slow down and utilize mindfulness when writing, which engages a different part of our brains in a way different than typing. The benefits of bullet journaling can help organize life tasks, thoughts, and feelings, help identify stressors, help process emotions and intrusive or avoidant thoughts, gain insight and confidence, and promote empathy. Not only does bullet journaling allow for recording goals, achievements, thoughts, and reflections, but it can do so in a creative way! Supplies are included.
