Bullet Journaling
While our lives may be constantly on the move, and the convenience of having so much
at our fingertips in digital form, there is a great deal of benefit to putting pen
to paper. According to Psychologist Lara Jakobsons, MD, (2017), we are forced to slow
down and utilize mindfulness when writing, which engages a different part of our brains
in a way different than typing. The benefits of bullet journaling can help organize
life tasks, thoughts, and feelings, help identify stressors, help process emotions
and intrusive or avoidant thoughts, gain insight and confidence, and promote empathy.
Not only does bullet journaling allow for recording goals, achievements, thoughts,
and reflections, but it can do so in a creative way! Supplies are included. (Ages
13 – 19)
SVCC-Room 2L07 | Instructor-Danielle Gapinski, U of I Extension | $12
