soothing grief
clarifying questions
solving dilemmas
articulating emotions
finding joy
This selection of Writing Wellness Prompts are similar to the kinds of activities that you will find in the “Beyond the Great Resignation” courses on this site, but there are no exact duplications, so feel free to enjoy these according to you need!
