Journaling is so important. It helped me reduce my anxiety so much.

When I journaled, answers just came to me. You know those "Ah Ha! Moments".

As a matter of fact, I just bought 3 nice large journals from Borders Bookstore that I'm about to use. I love new journals. I've gone through a lot of them!

Don't worry. It feels strange when you start journaling.

Just write whatever you're feeling for 5 minutes to start. Just to get things off your chest.

You can then turn the negative thoughts around if you want.

Another good way of journaling is to make a gratitude journal and write things that you're grateful for in there. That will help you feel so content with what you have and who you are.
