This week we’ve once again been in contact with some of our friends in the blogosphere to get their thoughts and feelings on the value of a handwritten diary. ![]() A quiet moment of self-reflection and self-care, and an opportunity to draw out some of these muddled thoughts and feelings and set them out on paper can have an immeasurably positive impact on our wellbeing. As we’ve covered before with our #LoveYourLife campaign, one of the simplest and most effective ways to turn down the noise and soothe our mental disquiet is through journaling.

These last few months, with wildly unpredictable weather and an ever-changing set of rules to follow, have only amplified this sense of uncertainty. Even by the standards already set by 2020, the current moment certainly feels… strange.
