WELLog is a paper-based tracking journal that helps individuals work toward healthier lifestyles. Instead of logging on a screen, WELLoggers experience time to slow down, focus with less distraction, and be more mindful about their choices and strategies for change. Thoughtfully created by a health communication professional, WELLog is also a complementary tool for patient and client appointments, wellness programs, and college health promotion courses.

- Weekly prompts and tips help WELLoggers move through the journal and stay on track.
WELLove"While I have always encouraged my patients to make healthier choices, WELLog has been a tangible, convenient tool to better connect those office discussions with what's actually happening in their daily lives. The weekly reflection pages help prioritize our time and troubleshoot challenges together so my patients can get on with a healthy lifestyle." |

"WELLog was a great addition to the Strategies in Stress Management class at American University. The students said it kept them honest and on track. It was a great way for them to get off their laptops and mobile devices and tune in to themselves for a few minutes each day. I would recommend WELLog as a classroom tool."
