Journaling can prove beneficial in a variety of ways. It helps to relieve stress and anxiety; allows us to prioritize fears, problems, and concerns; provides an opportunity for positive self-talk and identifying negative thoughts and behaviors; boosts memory, and improves communication skills.
The Southern Lit Alliance has a new upcoming journaling workshop being held virtually on two separate days: Sunday, April 25 at 2:00 PM on Zoom or Thursday, June 24 at 6:00 PM on Zoom.
Each session will be an hour and a half long, and each session will cover the same material, so participants should pick one date out of the two to attend. These workshops are open to both those beginning the practice of journaling and those who’ve journaled for some time; the goal is to help participants get more out of the practice.
Topics covered include the benefits of journaling and types of journaling, as well as methods, tips, and writing prompts to continue journaling. Each session will be hosted by Andreana Lefton, a local poet and freelance writer, and Elisa Negroni, a personal coach, Certified Holistic Coach, and Certified Speaking Circle/Relational Presence Facilitator.
