Horse Lover's Journal #2: A deluxe illustrated mental health journal

Capture the benefits of journaling in this beautiful, inspiring package containing prompts, reflections and plenty of lined space to explore your inner thoughts and ponderings (see the images below for examples of reflection prompts and illustrations in the interior. Note that the paperback and spiral bound have a partial colour interior, the hardback is full colour throughout).

We know from research that journaling helps us to focus and to organise messy emotional experiences into something we can understand. Writing for just 15-20 minutes a day for four days in a row about emotional events decreases rumination, anxiety and depressive symptoms…and boosts our immune systems (as reported in Rising Strong by Brene Brown, and recommended by therapists worldwide).

Gentle wellbeing prompts have been crafted by therapist Sara Belgari (BA, BSW) to support you on your journey. With more than twenty years of experience supporting children, teens, young people and adults with their mental health, this journal provides ample space to explore your feelings, and start the lifelong journey of self-reflection which will support your wellbeing into the future.
