Stress can feel overwhelming — like your mind won’t stop racing and your to-do list never ends. Journaling is one of the simplest, most effective tools I’ve found to clear the mental clutter, reduce stress, and refocus on what really matters. The best part? It doesn’t take hours — just a few minutes a day can make a huge difference.
🌱 Why Journaling Helps with Stress
Writing things down allows your brain to release what it’s been holding on to. It gives you clarity, helps you spot patterns, and even shifts negative self-talk into something more empowering. Journaling is like a reset button for your mind.
