May 9th at 1 PM a representative from Baptist Health will be here to show you how journaling helps improve your mental health!
One of the ways to deal with any overwhelming emotion is to find a healthy way to express yourself. This makes a journal a helpful tool in managing your mental health. Journaling can help you:
-
Manage anxiety
-
Reduce stress
-
Cope with depression
Journaling helps control your symptoms and improve your mood by:
-
Helping you prioritize problems, fears, and concerns
-
Tracking any symptoms day-to-day so that you can recognize triggers and learn ways to better control them
-
Providing an opportunity for positive self-talk and identifying negative thoughts and behaviors
When you have a problem and you’re stressed, keeping a journal can help you identify what’s causing that stress or anxiety. Once you’ve identified your stressors, you can work on a plan to resolve the problems and reduce your stress.
