Journaling
Did you know YourCrew has a built-in journal? Add photos, write something, browse old entries and share with Crew members if you want. The journal is fully private unless you share.
Check it out from your dashboard.
SELF-HELP
Tips for journal writing:
- Do it regularly: you don't have to write every day but it helps to try and do it as often as you can to get in the habit of writing. Start with 5 mins to begin with and gradually build it up.
-
Your journaling will be most effective if you do it daily for about 20 minutes.
-
Begin anywhere, and forget spelling and punctuation. You can always edit later if you want to, but you don't have to.
-
Remember the YourCrew journal is private (unless you want to show a Crew member). Therefore go for it, only you can see it.
-
Write quickly, as this frees your brain from “shoulds” and other blocks.
-
If it helps, pick a theme for the day, week or month (for example, peace of mind, confusion, change or anger).
-
There are no rules! Do what you want.
-
The YourCrew journal lets you add photos and it can be fun to look back through the journal to see your photos from the past.
