The RR Self Compassion Journal<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This is a space for young people to express their thoughts and emotions and to help understand themselves better. This journal invites you <\/span>to explore your <\/span>day<\/span> by<\/span> writing; or d<\/span>raw<\/span>ing things that you find peaceful or relaxi<\/span>ng<\/span>; the choice is yours.\u202f<\/span>\u202f<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Young people in our workshops felt that this journal can help you to be kinder towards yourself and think more positively. This can help you to process feelings that you have come across that day. If you use your self-compassion journal often this can have a good effect on your wellbeing and strengthen your wellbeing.<\/p>\n
