A psychologist and researcher, Pennebaker believes that regular journaling strengthens our immune cells, as well as helps combat the symptoms of asthma and arthritis.

Inspired by that eye-opening experience, I began walking the same streets that Max and I normally traveled.

I wondered. That’s mindfulness. It’s the act of being in touch with, and aware of, the present moment.”
