Mental Health Journal Guide- Anxiety
A journal guide is an important factor in the process of discovering your own strengths and weaknesses, which is also the first step to building on strengths and working on weaknesses! Reflect each week on previous weeks' journal entries, and you'll learn more and more about yourself and your mental health as you progress through the guide over the entire year.
Before you can transform yourself, or even just find self-peace and mindful awareness, you must know how to recognize, approach, and reverse a downward spiral of negative thoughts and emotions, how to become aware of the emotions you feel and what they mean, how to recognize and approach your anxious signs and symptoms, and also how to take care of yourself! This combination of healthy expression is proven to lead to a long-term and strong feeling of improvement from anxiety and related-symptoms! To get a sneak peek of 4 journal prompts, click here!
Note: This journal guide shouldn't replace professional treatment! It should be used as a helpful aid in the improvement of anxiety and recovery.
Take your time with this journal guide and be easy on yourself! Go at your own pace and remember to try your best, whatever your best may be.
*Some prompts are similar or repeated in the various journal guides. Please consider this before purchasing multiple journal guides. You may contact us for a personalized price and we can edit and send you the relevant materials if looking for more than one disorder.
