[Be intentional](https://www.simplyfiercely.com/be-intentional/) about creating time to write your feelings out. Turn it into a ritual by making yourself a warm drink, lighting a candle, or choosing a nice spot to write in.

Once you start writing, don’t stop until you feel there is nothing else to write. This means you should write *everything* down, even if you begin to veer away from the prompt. Don’t pay any mind to spelling mistakes, your handwriting and don’t edit what ends up on the page. Just write it all out. [View Highlight](https://read.readwise.io/read/01j83nhv221bsrfd0r2fyv08vj))

To journal through your fears, start by writing them out one at a time. Ask yourself what are the worse case scenarios, how they might affect you, and what you would do. Ask yourself how likely it is to happen, why you think it might happen, whether its occurrence would be positive or negative and why.

The anticipation of something is usually much worse than when it actually occurs. This is because before something happens, we can’t do anything about it. By journaling through our fears, we’re doing something proactive and preemptive, which can help us work through our fears rather than letting them fester.

If you enjoy letter writing, you could also try a love letter. Write to your younger self (*or your future self!*) and practice being your own best friend. After all, self-love and compassion are also powerful tools for combating chronic anxiety. [View Highlight](https://read.readwise.io/read/01j83stt71p8h0kjdmf24mhpat)) [[journaling/prompt]]

When I’m [so overwhelmed that I can’t think](https://www.simplyfiercely.com/overwhelmed-by-life/) about how to care for myself, I turn to my journal. I start with the line *‘I feel unwell because…’* and let my thoughts flow. Answering this question leads me to discover what I need (whether it be rest, connection, or creative expression). By delving into why I feel unwell, I learn what I can do about it, which improves how I care for myself. [View Highlight](https://read.readwise.io/read/01j83t1ryr94dwp6syd3c051ga))
