Talk about your experience keeping this journal. Has it had any impact on your health (including mental health) and well-being?

I believe keeping this journal was very helpful to my mental health because I was forcing myself to put into words and pictures what I was feeling and experiencing. There was so much information and disinformation on the pandemic that it was overwhelming. A greater sense of control was present when addressing my worries and feelings than if I didn't think them through and write them in a logical format. The act of recording answers to specific questions made me more aware of the situation and how I reacted to it.
