Build an enduring writing practice that sustains the soul,

Let us turn to the 4A Framework

I. Actionable (here's how)

• Write for 10 minutes each morning about 3 things you're grateful for and why
• Use your lunch break to write about worries, challenges, goals
• Set a weekly night to journal about lessons learned that week
• Doodle images related to emotions you felt that day
• Freewrite about a difficult situation to process emotions and gain clarity
• Use journaling to celebrate accomplishments, release anger, or unplug from technology

II. Analytical (here are the numbers)

• Writing just 20 minutes a day has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety levels by over 30% after just 2 weeks
• Journaling specifically allows people to reduce recurring negative thoughts by over 50%
• 85% of individuals who made daily writing a habit stuck with it after 6 months
• Consistent journaling is linked to improved mood, self-esteem and life satisfaction
