7 Journaling Exercises to Release Your Anxiety and Fears and Calm Your Mind

When it comes to relieving stress and anxiety, journaling can be a powerful tool to bring your mind and body at an ease.

Anxiety can manifest itself in many ways whether it is physical or mental. Once anxious thoughts creep into your mind, they can be really hard to get rid of. You get sucked into this never-ending spiral of negative thoughts and soon, you are simultaneously anxious as well as stressed out of your mind.

When faced with seemingly uncontrollable thought patterns like these, journaling can help you recenter yourself and provide stress relief.

Journaling prompts you to have a cool-headed conversation with yourself and reduce stress in the process. Instead of wallowing in your problems, it helps you become action-oriented and liberated while calming your mind.
