This week we looked at journaling. There are many benefits for both the young and mature. For young writers, journaling practices the obvious - writing skills. 
Journaling for adults can have a number of benefits. Whether to evoke mindfulness, work through stresses, increase your emotional awareness or chart your way to achieving your goals, there are many benefits. 

“If we want people to fully show up, to bring their whole selves including their unarmored, whole hearts—so that we can innovate, solve problems, and serve people—we have to be vigilant about creating a culture in which people feel safe, seen, heard, and respected.”
