21 Day Wellbeing Challenge, Day #15

Writing down anxious thoughts that make you feel stressed can be a helpful way to manage your anxiety. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Set aside some time: Find a quiet and comfortable place where you can focus on your thoughts. Set aside 10-15 minutes to write down your anxious thoughts.
2. Write down your thoughts: Start writing down whatever comes to mind. Don’t worry about spelling, grammar, or punctuation. Just let your thoughts flow onto the paper.
3. Be honest: Don’t censor yourself or try to make your thoughts sound more positive than they are. Be honest about how you’re feeling, even if it’s uncomfortable.
4. Look for patterns: Once you’ve finished writing, look for patterns or common themes in your thoughts. This can help you identify triggers that may be contributing to your anxiety.
5. Challenge negative thoughts: If you notice that you’re having a lot of negative thoughts, try to challenge them with more realistic and positive thoughts. Try to think – what you can do in order to help yourself with these thoughts, write down what could help you and try to action it with small steps.
6. Practice self-compassion: Remember to be kind to yourself as you work through your anxious thoughts. Anxiety can be tough to manage, but you’re doing the best you can.

By writing down your anxious thoughts, you may find that you’re able to release some of the tension and stress they’re causing. It can also help you gain perspective on your thoughts and develop a more balanced perspective.
