Journaling Writing and the power of positive affirmations with Ingrid

Your thoughts matter. The way you think about yourself and others has an impact on the way you feel. Just because you have a loud negative voice inside your mind (we all have one of those), doesn’t mean that it’s the voice you should be listening to.

Journal writing is an incredible way to gently question your thoughts, before deciding what you do want to think and believe about yourself. As you journal, you’ll be diving into the power of affirmations, giving yourself the chance to become even more loving and supportive towards yourself.
