Anxiety is so mysterious and diverse. Sometimes it’s just a subtle thought in your head going on repeat, again and again. Sometimes – a full blown anxiety attack with a bunch of anxiety symptoms like shortness of breath, dizziness, racing heart and a brain fog… And sometimes you may not feel your anxiety at all but have a feeling that if anything stressful happens, it will come back again.

How to use this journal to relieve your anxiety

 

• Use thoughts page to write down any negative or persistent thoughts you have.
• If you see unhelpful patterns in your thoughts, diffuse them using a Dysfunctional thoughts page. Write down what happened, thoughts you have and the feelings you feel. Next, intentionally try to change those thoughts to positive ones – by looking for a single positive thing about it. Example: you encountered a mean person and he/she insulted you. Positive view: now you know who you don’t want to be like in your life.
• Use mindfulness exercise when you are still in a high-stress mode and need to come back to the present moment (tip: print a bunch of these to have on hand when needed!)
• Track your moods in a mood chart. If you use diary daily, you can see which thoughts or events have worsened your mood.
• Practice a little bit of gratitude every day by listing one thing you’re grateful for daily.
• Finally, list things that trigger your anxiety and things that act like an antidote. This will be your secret suggestions sheet, advising things to avoid and things you should do more often.

 

Journaling is such a perfect activity for your mental health. Not only it helps you improve your anxiety levels but it’s also really soothing! It feels so good to stop running from your anxious thoughts and face them – with compassion, curiosity, and understanding.
