Text Timeout Program

Thanks for your interest in Text Timeout, a weekly self check-in program.

​

WHAT TO EXPECT

Every Sunday you will receive a text message with a link to a guided reflection questionnaire, which will cover a range of topics pertaining to physical, mental, and emotional wellness. The prompts are designed to encourage self-awareness, mindfulness, and positive thinking. Research has shown that individuals who engage in this type of regular self-reflection are more likely to adopt healthy behaviors, experience lower levels of stress, and have better overall health outcomes. Our goal with this program is to simplify the process of self-reflection and encourage its inclusion in your weekly routine. 

​

Texts are sent on Sunday afternoon/evening (at 4 pm PST/7 pm EST), giving you an opportunity to put a bow on the week that just ended and gear up for the one that lies ahead. To get the most out of your reflection, you'll want to set aside 5-10 minutes of quiet alone time (this is the "timeout" piece) - don't open the text until you're ready to begin. Put in headphones, listen to some music, and use the prompts to help you thoughtfully, honestly, and kindly evaluate how you've been feeling. 

 

Your completed reflection will be sent to your inbox automatically. Consider creating a folder of your responses so that you have a record of your progress over time - similar to a paper journal. If you don't feel like typing your responses each week that's OK too - simply looking through the questions and considering how you're doing will still have an impact.
