Raychelle LeBlanc is back with us to discuss one of the skills she employed to better wellness and healing.  

"One of the many tools that were instrumental in my ability to recover from bouts of panic and anxiety, journaling was at the top of the list. The many ways to utilize your journal are limitless and I would like to share my 3 favorite here: 

1) Growth - One of the many things that you will find as you continue to journal is your ability to go back through your entries and see growth. 

2) Clarity - Being able to gather your innermost thoughts & feeling and pour them out on paper provides clarity and cleansing. 

3) Gratitude - Gratitude journaling is one of my all time favorite things."
