My name is Sally Williams and I am the founder of the The Kind Mind Project.
I am a School Counsellor/Psychologist as well as wife and mum of 2 girls.
I have always loved journals, diaries, notebooks- stationery in general!
The three products we have available have all been designed as a result of my own personal and professional experience with children and my interest in getting families communicating as well as introducing techniques from positive psychology (gratitude) to children from a young age.
A few years ago I started the practise of using a Gratitude Journal realised how beneficial it was to my life. I found that it reminded me about how lucky I am as well as what is important to me. Research has shown that the practise of gratitude has so many benefits including:
Greater well-being and satisfaction with your life,
Higher quality relationships,
Better physical health,
Makes you more helpful, generous and compassionate and
Can even reduce the symptoms of depression
About 5 years ago I started using a Gratitude Journal with my then 3 year old daughter. We would talk just before she was going to bed about her favourite parts of her day and I would write them down and often go back and read past entries and reminisce about those times.
In my role as a School Counsellor I have used Gratitude Journals and have seen first hand the positive effects the daily practise has on children.
I hope you enjoy using my journals and talking wheels as much as I enjoyed designing them.
Love Sally x
