an interactive journaling journey
The Mindful Gut
Journal in response to Acknowledgments, Affirmations and Actions regarding digestive problems. You can learn to live with your sensitive gut and embrace the challenges you face. Through writing and visualizing through art you can live in harmony with the ups and downs of IBS and other disorders. (There is space provided for journaling, however, you may want to use a sketch book/additional journaling paper.) But this journal is not just for tummy trouble! It is a great resource in living and eating mindfully for everyone!
Thanks to Teresa Woodcock for her (yet again!) lovely book cover (see her link below). The Mindful Gut is currently available on Bookbaby, where you can view the first 10 pages, and Amazon, and soon to be on Bookshop, Barnes and Noble, Walmart, BAM!, and Powell's City of Books. You can preorder until December 10th (when it will be widely available) and you are not charged until the book is shipped on Dec. 10.
Thank you!!
