When life gets overwhelming, I’ve learned that the best thing I can do is grab a pen and paper. Journaling became my stress relief tool when I realized that dumping all my thoughts on paper helped clear my mind. Instead of letting worries build up inside, I started writing about everything—whether it was a stressful day at work, something that made me mad, or just random thoughts. Within minutes, my anxiety would melt away, and I’d feel lighter. Journaling isn’t about writing perfectly—it’s about giving your brain a chance to release everything that’s cluttering it. Try it next time you feel stressed—it works wonders.
