Читать книгу Anxiety For Dummies - W. Doyle Gentry, Laura L. Smith - Страница 73

Journal writing doesn’t have rules. You can write about anything, anywhere, anytime. However, if you want the full benefits of writing in a journal, we encourage you to write about feelings and the emotionally important events of your life. Write about anything that troubles you during the day and/or past difficulties. Spend a little time on it.

Most smartphones allow you to dictate your thoughts rather than type them in. That’s pretty great if you don’t like tapping on a small keyboard. Like a journal, save your musings in a file and review them from time to time.

Writing about past traumas may bring considerable relief. However, if you find that the task floods you with overwhelming grief or anxiety, you’ll probably find it helpful to seek professional assistance.
