Kōura - a new way of journalling

The idea behind Kōura was to be mindful about the things you were doing to look after yourself, and not judge people on what they were or weren’t doing. I see a lot of wellbeing things that are like “train for a 5km run” or “eat clean” and I wanted to move away from the concept that “being well” was only for people who could afford to “eat clean” or had the ability to go for a run every morning.
