100 Bold Moves May Week 2 Challenge

Happy May, Advisors! This month's theme is Mindset May!

The month of May is Mental Health Awareness month, and we are sticking with the theme of mindset matters.

Last week in Create the Best, we explored how using a Scrap Journal can be a wonderful tool for your mindset and helping customers in their mental health journey, too! So let's try something new together. This week, let's do even 1 entry in a Scrap Journal for non-traditional scrapbooking.

Get outside your comfort zone so you understand the benefit and can explore what this would look like as a class for your customers!

Week 2 Challenge: Mental Health & Creativity

  • Use a Scrap Journal for emotions or gratitude
  • Share (or reflect privately) on why memory keeping matters

Not sure where to find Create the Best recordings? Here's a link to the playlist!
