Self-Care & Journaling with AI

Your Mind Deserves the Same Attention as Your Inbox

You check your email daily. You maintain your car. You clean your house. But how often do you deliberately tend to your mental wellness?

Most of us know we should journal, practice mindfulness, or work on negative thinking patterns. But “should” doesn’t mean “do.” Life gets busy. Habits slip. And honestly, sitting alone with your thoughts can feel intimidating without some structure.

That’s where AI comes in – not as a therapist, not as a replacement for professional help, but as an always-available practice partner that can guide you through evidence-based techniques at your own pace.

What You’ll Learn

This course teaches you to use AI as a mental wellness companion:

• Journal effectively with guided prompts that actually surface insights
• Reframe negative thoughts using cognitive behavioral techniques
• Manage stress with practical routines you can sustain
• Practice self-compassion and quiet your inner critic
• Build lasting habits with accountability that doesn’t judge
• Set boundaries that protect your energy and wellbeing
