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.

How To Incorporate Printable Anxiety Journal Into Your Routine

Incorporating a printable anxiety journal into your daily routine can significantly aid in managing and monitoring your anxiety effectively.

Here’s a streamlined guide on how to integrate it seamlessly.

Firstly, choose or create a printable anxiety journal template with sections for dates, triggers, thoughts, emotions, and coping strategies.

Dedicate a specific time daily, either in the morning for preparation or in the evening for reflection, to complete your journal entries.

Start with a brief gratitude exercise to foster a positive mindset before delving into your anxiety-related entries.

Record the date and time, which helps identify patterns and pinpoint when anxiety peaks.

In your entries, identify triggers and describe your thoughts and emotions in response to these triggers.

Assign a numerical anxiety rating on a scale of 1 to 10 for reference—document coping strategies and goals for anxiety management, revisiting and adjusting them periodically.

Consistency is key, as making journaling a habit can transform it into an essential tool for anxiety management.

Remember that your anxiety journal can be customized to suit your individual preferences.

If your anxiety persists or is severe, consider seeking professional guidance in conjunction with your journaling efforts.
