Journalling generally involves keeping a log of thoughts and feelings surrounding the events of your life - typically in a notebook or collection of papers. Some people like to buy a notepad especially for the purpose of journalling, but it doesn’t have to be the same as writing a diary; you can draw images, patterns, squiggles, write key words or even record poems or songs to note how you’re feeling.
Journalling can be helpful for those who struggle with overwhelming anxious thoughts. The act of transferring your fears out of your head and onto a page means that it is easier to let go of things that you can’t control or that might be causing additional stress.
