A stress management journal is an important tool to combat stress. Journaling can help to uncover past hurts and patterns that cause stress are today. Through journaling, you can also discover the ways to solve these problems themselves.
How to use a stress management journal
1. Buy a notebook
I would recommend, on average, a quality hard backed notebook. The hard back to help you while on a train or on the way and allows you to write, writewithout the need for a table.
Ie, with an average standard notebook, that you do not act like this, how nice you write, or an error worries - this is to reduce stress, instead it is. They want to be able to write freely, without fear of failure and an expensive magazine, you might not feel so well.
2. With a computer
Computers are for stress-management journals good, but not my personal choice. The above advantages of using a computermay be that they are clearer and easier to read later - but that's not the point of journaling.
The point of journaling is to reduce the levels of stress in the moment. Sometimes when you read what you've written later on you might think that you have garbage in writing. That could put you with this tool, although it served its purpose, and you have less stress at this time.
You wrote what you meant and that deletes your stress. She has been released.
The downside ofUsing a computer is that when the whole day working on a computer, it can spend stress if you use it as well as a magazine. Sometimes you turn on your computer is turned off, the best form of computer stress relief.
3. Write what you feel
A magazine can be seen as a good friend, let you use the problems. Write what you feel and not think about what to write. Just write!
One way to start with phrases such asFollowing:
• "I feel so ..."
• "I feel stressed out because ..."
• "I can deal with this stress ..."
• "I am what I am entitled to my stress through the use ..."
• "To be less stressed out, I can change ..."
• "What changes can I make in my life at this time are not so affected by stress?"
It is important when journaling to changes that can make you and the way you can strengthen yourself to concentrate. Feel free to spend some time, based onwhat you do not like, but this is only the first step.
The second step is to build on what you want to focus on and how these changes come about.
4. Do positive exercises
I once 7 days of writing 120 pages worth of thoughts in my stress management journal. But in the end I did not feel any better.
Why? I was just focusing on the negative and re-experiencing past hurts.
To focus on the positive as well:
• What are you thankfuldone?
• How would you like your life to be and look like? Write it down.
• It would write a list of everything you want (and then feel exactly what it is, these things have to feel).
• Write a list of all your goals
