This journaling technique helps us carve out some space each day to acknowledge and reflect on our emotions along with setting small goals to help support our mental health and wellbeing.

Start your journalling by writing down your current emotions and thoughts. Try using a few prompts like:

  • Today I feel…..because…..
  • One thing on my mind is…..
  • Something that’s been bothering me is….

Finish by asking yourself what you’re needing for support and set 1-2 simple intentions for the next day. These can include small acts of self-care like:

  • Take a 10 minute walk.
  • Spend 5 minutes deep breathing before bed.
  • Connect with my support network.

Making this a daily practice helps our emotional clarity, helps us to slow down and process how we’re doing/what we’re needing, helps us set achievable goals, and helps us to identify patterns in thoughts or feelings we may not have noticed before.
