Why You Should Write Down Your Anxious Thoughts: Everyone Should Keep a “Worry Diary”
14.10.2024 11:47
Anxiety, doubts and worries, unfortunately, have long become an integral part of our lives.
We all experience anxiety about finances, work, family problems or other things.
Sometimes anxiety can have a strong impact on our daily lives. For example, worry can keep you awake at night, keep you from thinking about the future, or keep you constantly thinking about an unpleasant situation.
The cause of anxiety is not so important - the body always reacts in the same way, as a result of which you begin to feel psychological exhaustion.
What to do?
Consider starting a "worry journal" by writing down your worries on paper.
How does this work?
If you, so to speak, “fix” your worries, you will begin to think more clearly and will be able to look at the current situation as if from the outside.
Once you have everything that is bothering you down on paper, you will be able to break the vicious cycle: now you will stop repeating the same negative thoughts in your head over and over again.
Scientists have even conducted a number of studies, the results of which confirm that keeping a diary is an effective way to combat stress. This activity also improves psychological well-being and helps strengthen the immune system.
When you start regularly writing down your worries in a journal, you will be able to track which thoughts bother you most often and how negative thought patterns form. This will make it easier for you to replace them with positive affirmations.
