The act of journaling is to use pen and paper to write down your thoughts in your every day life, or during any distressing moments of your day. Journaling can be an incredibly helpful way to process complex thoughts and emotions, and it can also help you promote a more positive outlook on life.

Additionally, journaling can lead to a sense of self discovery, as you unravel your most complex thoughts on a blank page. In this guest blog post, Lauren Groff shares tips for getting started with journaling, as well as how it can help improve your mental health.

The change in season brings with it colder weather, less daylight and sometimes, an imbalance in our wellbeing and general mood.

In this week’s guest blog post, writer Mark Woods explores five ways you can reconnect with nature and give your mental health a boost.
