Shout out to my sister in-law for inspiring this.
Journal as often as you can – Journaling is a great way of expressing how you are feeling. Whether you journal once or five times a day, it is proven to help with your mental health. Why? because tracking your emotions and what triggers them will give you more insight into what works for you and what doesn’t. By becoming aware of what situations to avoid and what makes you happy will put you on a better path with your mind.
Take some time out to write down things that you love about yourself, what inspires you, and anything positive that comes to mind. That way, when a bad day comes around you have something positive to look back on.
Journaling is something I have tried in the past, and to be honest, on the days that I did it, I felt better. It’s like a weight has been lifted off of your chest and you can breathe again. Journaling is private, it’s your innermost thoughts, it’s a letter to yourself, it’s honestly a great help.
I encourage you to journal today and tomorrow, take it from there and see how you feel. Pop me an email, I’d love to hear your thoughts on how and if journaling has helped you on your mental health journey.
tip number 2 – woah woah you have to come back tomorrow if you want the next tip!
I hope you’ve had an amazing Friday, and that you’ve kept cool on this unbelievably hot day. I hope something made you smile today, or even better – made you laugh out loud with no worries or fear of what anyone else thinks.
Until next time, you are important, you matter, you are beautiful, you are needed, you are wanted, and most importantly you are loved.
