5 Prompts for the Anxious Mind

Do you ever feel like your mind is a never-ending rollercoaster of worries and what-ifs? Well, you're not alone! Many people struggle with anxiety, and finding ways to calm the mind can be a challenge. Journaling can be a powerful tool to help manage anxious thoughts and feelings. By putting pen to paper, you can gain clarity, process emotions, and track patterns that may contribute to your anxiety.

Sometimes, just getting your thoughts down on paper can help, but if you are looking for a little more direction, here are five effective journal prompts specifically designed for those with anxious minds. 

1. What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever given someone else when they were anxious? Write out what it would sound like if you gave that same advice to yourself.
2. Where does anxiety show up in your body? What does it feel like?
3. Explore the relationship between perfectionism and anxiety in your life. How can you embrace imperfection and let go of unrealistic expectations?
4. How do you talk to yourself when you’re feeling anxious? Is it similar to the way you would talk to a loved one feeling anxiety? How is it different?
5. Have I felt this way before? How did the situation turn out?
