It’s safe to say that there’s an overwhelming amount of things to process throughout this global pandemic.
We wanted to share some prompts that may help you journal out your current ideas, thoughts, and feelings. We hope these help you to remember to be gentle with yourself. Putting pen to paper can help empty thoughts out of your brain, where they’re taking up space.
