X8: Reflecting on Your Life through Journalling in Splash Spring 2019 (Apr. 27, 2019)
This class will teach students the benefits of journaling and self-reflection, some practical ways for implementing this practice, and some long-term benefits of reflection, goal-setting, and daily discipline. The first part of the class will be lecture-style, and then the second part of the class will allow students to quietly journal & reflect in a peaceful and distraction free environment, which can be freeform or in response to given prompts The hope is students will be able to put their busy lives on pause for this house so that they can introspectively reflect, express gratitude, and identify areas of growth or improvement.
