The Healing Journal is a dynamic, illustrated guided journal to empower those living with chronic illness to cope with the ways illness impacts daily life. It provides an outlet for readers to freely express their experiences related to illness and enables them to explore their own strength and resilience. Research suggests that writing expressively and sincerely about personal struggles and traumas improves physical health. Rooted in mindfulness and positive psychology, each of the 50 topics in this journal is explored through the pairing of an affirmation with relevant journaling prompts and a painted illustration inspired by the California wilderness. The writing prompts and affirmations in this journal will help the reader to: Cultivate an attitude of positivity and hope about their personal healing Develop strategies to cope with negative emotions associated with their illness Communicate their needs to friends, family, and coworkers Utilise mindfulness, positive psychology, and practices of gratitude to maintain a healthy emotional state
