Mental health is tricky to navigate for most of us. Be it burnout from work, mood swings because of hormonal challenges, triggers at home or anxiety because of relationships—there is a need of healthy coping mechanisms to avoid being overwhelmed. “No matter what you are going through in your everyday life, journaling has proven to be very effective to cope with everyday challenges and stressors and also has a positive effect on mental health,” says Meghna Karia, senior psychologist and outreach associate at Mpower.
She elaborates, “Journaling is an act of recording your thoughts, feelings, emotions, and insights. You can choose the medium of recording your thoughts which could be either handwritten, or you could also choose to type and make a digital journal.” Even though handwriting has proven to be more helpful in processing your thoughts, journaling whenever you can and when you feel the need to – regardless of the medium – has far-reaching benefits.
