Course overview
Lesson Overview
7.6 – How to Use Journaling as a Stress Outlet: Journaling transforms confusion into clarity. Write freely without worrying about grammar or order. Start with describing emotions or events objectively. Add reflections on lessons learned or next steps. Review entries weekly to track triggers and improvements. Combine journaling with goal lists to link thought and action. Private writing provides safe emotional release. Avoid re-reading painful entries too often early on. Share excerpts with a therapist if comfortable. Writing your own thoughts builds power over them.
