How does journaling help with my wellness?

Not only does it help to track your feelings, but you can identify triggers of what is causing pain or anxiety. You can journal to practice better self-talk. These help to improve overall wellness.

I draw blanks when I try to journal. How can I journal easily?

Any of these journals will help you. They prompt you for journaling so you are not staring at a blank page, feeling lost or with writer’s block.

Will journaling make me sad, thinking about the past?

It’s your journal. You can reflect on what you want, but journaling does help you sort through feelings, and better identify how to cope with the negative things in your life. You can also use it strictly as manifesting positivity, writing statements of what you want to happen, and what will happen.
