Writing your thoughts down helps untangle what’s going on inside. When anxiety builds up, journaling gives it shape — turning vague worries into words you can see and understand. Some people write lists, others free-write without rules. It doesn’t matter how you do it; what matters is honesty. Journaling helps you notice triggers, patterns, and emotions that need attention. Over time, it becomes your personal safe space — a quiet conversation between your heart and your mind.
