On this episode of The Journaling Guy Podcast (Season 3, Episode 7), I'm talking about how Journaling can help you cope with Anxiety.

We covered how Journaling can help release Stress in Episode 5, so now we're going to look at Anxiety.

Anxiety is different to Stress. Anxiety is more internal. It’s not always tied to what’s happening right now but what might happen next. And dealing with that is VERY different to how we deal with Stress.

Your Journaling Prompt for This Week is:

1. What am I worried might happen? - Be honest. Write it down.
2. How likely is this, realistically? - Not emotionally, realistically.
3. If it did happen, how would I handle it? - This is powerful because it reminds you that you’re more capable than your anxiety suggests.
4. What is actually true right now? - Bring yourself back to the present. The Result? Your Anxiety softens and the mind feels safer and more grounded.
