The Grief and Happiness Holiday Journaling Workshop

Are the holidays feeling a bit tough this year? Join us for a special online event where we’ll explore how journaling can help you navigate the season with more ease and positivity. This event is designed for anyone facing challenges during the holidays, whether it’s grief, loss, or simply a difficult time of year. Together, we’ll share journaling tips, prompts, and techniques to help you embrace the season with a sense of support and self-care.

This journaling series offers daily guidance on writing topics that can bring you comfort during difficult moments. You’re encouraged to start fresh with a new journal that you can cherish and revisit, capturing your progress as you move forward through your personal journey. Writing in this way can help you reflect on your growth and find comfort in small victories.

Getting Started:

  • Find a blank book to write in.

  • Decide when you will journal each day, such as first thing in the morning or last thing in the day before you go to sleep.

  • Choose a favorite pen to write with and try making it a ritual by having a cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate and lighting a lovely candle.

  • Try to always journal in the same place. I like to write while sitting in my bed. Maybe you have a favorite chair or love to sit outside in the fresh air watching the sun rise or set.

  • Have a seat.

  • Close your eyes and meditate for a few moments, taking nice deep breaths.

  • When you are ready, read your writing prompt and write as much as you can about the topic.

  • Always write from your heart, and don’t worry about grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
