This is a difficult and unknown time for us all. This is difficult for a mutitude of reasons. This is challenging our mental health. One thing we at Lost&Found suggest is journaling. Journaling through stressful and traumatic events has been proven to improve overall life-functioning.⠀
.⠀

"A joint 1994 study by psychologists and outplacement firm Drake Beam Morin followed 63 professionals who had been laid off from their jobs for eight months after they were assigned to one of three writing conditions. In the experimental condition, participants were instructed to write about their deepest thoughts and feelings about the layoff and about how their lives, personal and professional, had been affected. In the control condition, participants were told to write about their plans for the day and their job search activities. In the no-writing condition, participants were given no particular writing instruction. After five consecutive days of 30-minute writing sessions, researchers started tracking employment status. Participants who wrote about losing their jobs were much more likely to find new ones in the months following the study."

We challenge you to start journaling, once a week, twice a week, or a bit everyday. Journaling during this time of social distancing is a free and easy option to help maintain positive mental health. Go ahead, try it! ✍️⠀
