Journalling is a tool that can really help with your mental health and well-being. It brings a safe place to hold thoughts and emotions without fear of judgement.

It can be a simple as writing down what’s on your mind, or a way to record your thoughts and feelings to better understand your emotions. Journalling really helps you to deepen your self-reflection, to aid you in overcoming your issues. Journalling can help you to create order from chaos and understand and make sense of your experiences.

It doesn’t have to be the form of a formal journal though; it can be whatever you want or need it to be. Some other ideas are:

An audio journal
A video journal
an art journal, with visuals rather than words
Poetry
Using a smartphone app
