When emotions are strong and noisy, it can be difficult to hear what thoughts really drive them. Journaling helps clear strong emotions to dig up the story we are telling ourselves, especially using prompts.And, very often, the thoughts that cause us anxiety, stress, depression and make ourselves very difficult are confused in our subconscious mind, just below the surface. .. When they are there, there is not much we can do with them. To see them, ask questions, challenge them, or change them, you need to surface them.
Key Takeaways:
- Some people love and hate journaling at different points in their life, it can help you figure yourself out.
- These prompts will help you even if you loathe writing and can’t bring yourself to do it.
- A self inquiry can be challenging, but it gets a lot better the more you work at it and it’s worth it.
