Evaluating the efficacy of a 60-day emotion regulation self-care journal

How we manage our emotions, also known as emotion regulation, is important and helpful in dealing with everyday stressors, our professional and interpersonal relationships, and our relationship with ourselves. Poor emotion regulation can leave us feeling frustrated for longer periods of time than we need to or even cause angry outbursts at inappropriate times. There has been a recent surge in the popularity of health-promotive self-care products, or products aimed at providing individuals with “the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required to achieve and maintain good health”. However, there has not yet been a self-care journal aimed at improving emotion regulation. The purpose of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of a 60-day emotion regulation journal for improving emotion regulation, mental health, and overall well-being. By the end of this project, Switch Research will receive a detailed report and academic manuscript prepared for peer-reviewed publication, both outlining the efficacy of their product.
