Journaling

Another activity that can help you check in with how you’re feeling, what’s happening in your life and keep a record of your emotions and thoughts is journaling. Go for a wander through the library to find your perfect spot to curl up and journal. You might even draw some inspiration from the art you will find around you. The library has dedicated quiet areas and individual booths to help promote the focus you might need.
