CHILDREN ONLINE Journaling Workshop for Mental Well Being

Journaling Workshop to Help with Anxiety and Mental Well Being

Journaling can be a wonderful way to lessen anxiety and help get things in perspective – especially in the middle of the night when fears can be at their worst. Journaling can also increase confidence and fluency with writing.

I am offering a live online journaling workshop on Thursday 4th January.

• Workshop: Children (9+ year olds) 10.00 - 11.30am

Class Times are based in Dublin, Ireland, IST (Irish Standard Time)

• The workshop will take place on the video platform Zoom and last for 75 minutes.

Participants will engage with journaling exercises and receive an email afterwards outlining the exercises for future use.

These Journaling Exercises help us:

• Become our own best friend. It will never tell you to shut up. It will never judge you.

• Discover who we are.

• Figure out how we feel

• Create dreams and goals

• Make decisions

• Reduce fear of writing – there is no need to worry about spellings or neat handwriting

• Increase creativity

I’ve been keeping a journal since I was twelve years old – because my English teacher suggested it – and I am very grateful that she did.

Journaling has helped me to become a writer and create a life that suits me. It taught me how to express myself, to write fluently, to calm an anxious mind, and to understand my feelings. My aim with this workshop is teach participants about the benefits of journaling and how to use the exercises.

Maximum of fourteen participants in a workshop.

ZOOM

• Classes take place on the video conferencing platform Zoom.
• Students will need good broadband and a smart phone, tablet or computer with video camera to participate.

Testimonial

I highly recommend Megan Wynne’s workshop on Journaling. She had a lively group of students in the palm of her hands! They were enthralled by meeting this open and honest artist, who was speaking to them so truthfully about their own personal experiences.
