One of the most liberating exercises to free your mind is journaling.

By writing your thoughts down on a piece of paper, you not only process your emotions and fears, but you also realize that it’s not as bad as you thought.

You can give yourself an emotional release by putting your thoughts and feelings out of your brain on paper.

By writing your emotions down and allowing them to be present, you’re making sure that they won’t influence you as much as if you’d try to suppress them.

Even though we all go through a vast spectrum of emotions every single day, 2020 was even more intense and led to more insecurity than most of us have ever experienced.

It’s important to allow these emotions to be present because that’s the only way we can let go of them instead of allowing them to control us.

To get the most benefits of journaling, do it daily and turn it into one of your routines.

The goal of a journaling routine is that it helps you feel more relaxed and in control. If you’ve never done it before, you can start by writing down anything that comes to your mind.

Your journaling pages don’t need to make sense or lead to a higher purpose. The only goal is to free your mind.

While journaling is one effective method to process emotions, another way is talking to others.

Sometimes, a simple phone call with friends or family members can feel more liberating than anything else.

Above all, these calls might help you understand that you’re not the only one going through a difficult time and fearing changes.
