Your Weekly Journal of Positive Wellness and Affirmations

About the Book

The overall goal of the Positive Wellness and Affirmations Journal is to strengthen your coping skills through writing, in order to predict a more positive solution to life's challenges. Journal writing is one strategy that can be used to tell our life story, with the hope of it becoming a powerful coping mechanism. This approach to self-reporting can be useful in our ongoing search for life satisfaction and positive behavioral change. This writing experience can create a degree of control over any situation, which can determine greater success in the overall outcome.
