Instant access to news, celebrity gossip, status updates, TikTok videos and more – all at our fingertips – can result in information overload, with unintended consequences like increased stress and fatigue. Add the anxiety brought on by COVID-19, social distancing and economic uncertainty, and having a peaceful emotional respite is as important as ever.

Journaling is a great way to look away from your phone and turn your focus inward. Research shows that spending even 15 minutes a day writing in a journal reduces stress, boosts memory, improves mood and can even lower blood pressure. Whether you're interested in long-form writing, stream-of-consciousness writing, a line-a-day journaling, or using symbols and charts to get organized, there's a journaling style for everyone.

The Well-Being TravelerNotes Notepad Tripac is great for a wide range of journaling techniques. The set includes three books, one for each topic: mindfulness, gratitude and goal setting. Combining these wellness principles helps put the present in perspective while providing a sense of control for the future. The set can be customized in colors to suit any mood, from calming muted tones to bold hues that inspire energy and excitement. They come bundled in a GraphicWrap that can display a customer's branding and message.

Another great way for people to relax (and maybe even laugh a little) is with the Social Distancing CreativeSpark. Perfect for any age, each book has coloring pages and activities, with tongue-in-cheek images and phrases about everything from washing our hands to introverts thriving in this environment.

Full-Color Inserts are an easy way to customize SayNoMore! Promotions journals. The inserts can include any information your customer wants. There are also new stock options with content to help people during social distancing. The Gratitude Insert features a list of prompts for encouraging thoughts and mindfulness.
