Why not reflect on this year and Journal?

Journaling for just a few minutes every day can help turn it into a stress-relieving, sustainable habit.

One of your best wellness tools may be a journal. Journaling offers an array of benefits — from easing stress to sparking self-discovery.

When negative or worried thoughts arise, it can be easy to get caught up in them.

Jotting down your thoughts, however, “creates space and distance to consider them in a more objective way,” says Sabrina Romanoff, PsyD, a clinical psychologist in New York City.

This distance is called cognitive defusion, a helpful concept from acceptance and commitment therapy. “The idea is that you are not your thoughts, emotions, or physical symptoms; instead, you are the context in which they occur,” says Romanoff.

If your thoughts aren’t serving you, you don’t have to believe them. You can use journaling to see your thoughts as separate from you.
