In case you missed it, journaling is having a moment. In the past few years, interest in the habit has soared, with studies such as this one published in the British Journal of Health Psychology showing that writing about our thoughts and feelings – whether on a screen or on paper – has tangible benefits for both mental and physical health.
Further research has shown that journaling for anxiety can be an effective tool to help quieten your mind and process your innermost thoughts and feelings, with one landmark study from StoryTerrace sharing that 22% of Brits cite journaling as their most useful go-to anxiety aid, with an additional 31% of people sharing that they find it easier to write about their mental health than talk about it.
