Dump your thoughts on paper. Journaling helps untangle worries and gives your mind space to breathe.

Negative thoughts shrink when you focus on what’s good. List 3 things you’re grateful for each day.
Share your thoughts with someone you trust. Speaking out loud can offer perspective and lighten your mental load.
