You Always Feel Better When … Guided Journal

Written by M.H. Clark   Designed by Cheryl Cochran and Randall Slaughter Things can get better surprisingly quickly. This reflective guided journal is a place to get a little calmer, more energized, more at home in your body, more fully alive. It’s a place to remember that feeling better is possible in all kinds of ways. And it’s a place to do something small that can change your whole day. Inside you’ll find short, bite-sized exercises perfect for inviting a sense of calm, building daily habits, and creating a self-care routine. From taking a moment to relive a favorite memory to writing down a new intention to creating a list of fascinations, each approachable prompt is a chance to settle into yourself and help make the next few minutes be exactly what you need.  Simple yet thoughtful activities help you boost your mood in minutes, such as:  It just feels good when your physical and digital spaces are a little less cluttered.
