Using an Anxiety Journal to Calm Racing Thoughts
An anxiety journal isn’t just a notebook — it’s a tool for processing and reframing.
Guided anxiety journals can help you:
💛 Identify triggers and thought patterns
💛 Separate facts from fears
💛 Track mood changes
💛 Reduce mental clutter

Writing things down creates distance between you and anxious thoughts. Over time, an anxiety journal can help you feel more aware, more prepared and more emotionally steady.
