Journaling for mental health

Writer: dishikahiradishikahira

What is journaling? It is simply writing down your thoughts and feelings in order to understand them more clearly. If you struggle with stress, depression, or anxiety; keeping a journal can be a great idea. It can help you to gain control of your emotions and improve your mental health. Not everyone likes to write. Drawing or writing lyrics can be just as therapeutic!


It can also be helpful to include some mindfulness as part of your daily journaling ritual. Below is a template which may be used to help you facilitate this process.


Here are some prompts for self esteem journaling:

·What are the most beautiful parts of me? What am I proud of?

·What do I need to let go of right now to love myself more?

·What is stopping me from asking for help?

·What do I need to stop doing right now to show myself love?

·When do I feel the most joy and how can I get more in my life?

·What would my dream life look like? Dream BIG!

·What are some of the biggest challenges I have overcome?
