Five Minute Flow Journaling: Outside Your Comfort Zone

Journaling is known to help reduce stress, organize thoughts, and improve overall well-being. Flow journaling helps us get all of our thoughts out, assists in letting go, and can increase creativity. This practice includes three journal prompts followed by 60 seconds for you to answer that prompt. The key is to write for the entire time, even if you have to repeat your thoughts, get off topic, or start over with the prompt. Just don’t stop writing. Today's topic is outside your comfort zone. Let's flow!
