Journaling
Regular reflective writing to process emotions and track patterns.
10-15 minutes per session.
Daily, or as often as feels sustainable.
About this practice
Expressive or reflective journaling gives structured time to process thoughts and emotions, which research links to reduced psychological stress and improved mood over time. It's also a practical tool for spotting patterns — like what triggers a flare-up of symptoms or what habits correlate with better days.
How to do it
- Set aside the same time each day (morning or before bed both work well).
- Write freely without editing yourself — this isn't for anyone else to read.
- If you're stuck, use a prompt: 'What am I feeling right now, and why?' or 'What went well today?'
- Keep entries as short or long as feels right — even 3-5 sentences counts.
- Reread past entries occasionally to notice patterns in mood, triggers, or symptoms.
