Solution
How to use your
Smart Journal
Get it off your chest
Our behavior is always a direct response to how we feel. When you are overwhelmed by intense emotions like panic, shame, rage, speaking your thoughts helps to switch off an emotional autopilot.
Get a reflection of your thoughts
Once you're done speaking, Liven will prepare your reflection kit by structuring your thoughts and suggesting next steps. This way you can focus on future opportunities instead of ruminating.
Review your progress
Your journal entries form a timeline. Taking notes regularly flexes a memory and organization "muscle" that makes it easier to process and remember information in your daily life over time.
Key benefits
