Journaling prompts to work through anxiety 

Do you ever find yourself wanting to write down your thoughts, but you’re not sure where to begin? When you have a million and one thoughts floating around in your brain, it can be intimidating to even think about starting to write them down. Journaling is a valuable practice, both for self-care and for supporting your overall mental health, but it’s tricky to journal when you can’t figure out what to write. It’s also hard to sift through the thoughts in your head and focus on one thought when you deal with anxiety. When you’re feeling anxious, it might feel like your mind is racing and that you can’t distinguish between different thoughts. Each time you think you get a glimpse of a feeling, it’s gone, replaced by the next one.

DID YOU KNOW?

SMILES MAKE YOU LOOK YOUNGER

When the UMKC Department of Psychology conducted a study asking participants to rate the age of subjects in a photograph as young or old, they came up with some pretty surprising results. Irregardless of actual age of the subject in the photograph, those that were smiling had a higher prevalence of being rated “young”, while those not smiling or frowning were more often rated as “old”.
