As someone who has struggled with anxiety for years, I have tried countless methods of managing my symptoms. From therapy to medication to exercise, I have tried it all. While some things have certainly helped, there is one method that has been consistently effective for me: journaling. Not only has journaling helped me to process my emotions and reduce my stress levels, but it has also allowed me to track my progress and notice patterns in my anxiety triggers. If you’re struggling with anxiety or simply looking for a new self-care strategy, I highly recommend giving journaling a try.
