Feel better by tracking your anxious thoughts!
This ultimate Anxiety Journal makes tracking your sleep, goals, negative thoughts, and moods easy. Simply jot down what happened during the day, and the awareness of these anxious thoughts will help you process them.
This book is dedicated to anyone who struggles with anxiety. Imagine the possibilities of writing down your thoughts, and making a positive change in your life today!
This anxiety journal is meant to be used every day, or if that is too often, on days that you don't feel well and can use some reflection about why. The more you use it, the better your results will be. There is power in looking at what thoughts and events are impacting your mood.
The following sections are included:
General Information - This section includes space to record the Date, Location, and levels of your Energy, Activity, and Sleep. This is a great snapshot of how you're feeling, from sleeping to waking. You can flip through these when you have more days recorded and see how you're progressing.
Daily Goals - A blank text area with space to put four daily goals, to keep you on track. Anxiety can make us feel unfocused and unproductive. Having this section to write out what you need to accomplish can help keep you accountable to yourself to accomplish goals, whether that's for career, personal, or even self care goals.
Events & Interpretations - Based on a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy style model, this section has space to record events (simply a specific moment, it doesn't have to be a big 'event'), your thoughts about that event, and feelings about the event. Simply writing this down will help build up the muscle to say, this is what happened in my day, and this is how I thought and felt about it. Seeing the connection in clear black and white writing helps diffuse its power over our minds and helps us see how our thoughts impact our moods.
Mood Tracker - If you're more of a visual kind of learner, this mood tracker can be a useful way to visualize how you feel through a day. Featuring a wheel of the hours in a day, you can use the given examples of different mood drawings, or create your own. This is helpful to see patterns like how you feel in the morning vs. night, etc.
No one wants to deal with persistent anxiety. And if you're able to, this journal is best used in conjunction with professional mental health therapy. But it can be useful on its own, as well. I hope that you find peace and that this journal can be a part of that for you.
