"Life can only be understood backwards, but must be lived forwards." - Soren Kierkegaard

Journaling has so many amazing benefits, from keeping on top of your mental health and thinking ahead to the future, to reframing past experiences and documenting the highs and lows of your life! Regular journaling has been a game changer for Lucy so she's here in this episode to give you her tips and tricks for starting, keeping up the habit and making it work for you as well as some prompts to get you thinking! Hope this chat is insightful and one that you can come back to if you're just hopping on the journaling bandwagon - which has space for anyone and everyone by the way, regardless of your age, gender or lifestyle! Lots of love to all you lovely listeners and happy journaling x

Prompts from the episode! Don't be afraid to get creative or be honest.

2. What does your day-to-day life look like in an ideal world in 1, 5 or 10 years time?

3. Write a list of things you're grateful for today - maybe 5 people, 5 things you take for granted, 5 material items, 5 things you love to do.

4. What went well today? What was challenging about today? What can you learn from these things?

5. What's the 1 thing you most want to remember from today?
