The Back and Forth: a solo journaling experience of journaling BACK to yourself

The Back and Forth is a journal prompting game in which you write about your day: the good, the bad, the mundane, and the exciting. You'll write about whether you did what you planned or pushed those plans aside again for things that took priority. This is your chance to get it all out. 

Then you'll take on the role of the intermeddler. Drawing cards to figure out the perspective and nature of their words and following prompts to write notes on the journaling you just did, but from a different perspective. What advice would you give if you had the chance to write commentary in someone else's journal? Would you try to uplift them and encourage them or let them know they need to take the reins of their day if they want to get things accomplished? 

The game's intent is to reshape how we think about what we've accomplished, see ourselves as we'd see someone else, and learn to be accepting and even excited about what we did rather than disappointed in what we didn't do. Or forgive ourselves as we'd forgive someone else. Or show sympathy to ourselves after a rough day.

The Back and Forth is on sale for 13% off in our Frights Like You've Never Seen sale, full of terrifying things like retail work, going outside, or in this case: journaling!
