Anxiety thrives in the unknown—when thoughts swirl, and fears multiply. Journaling helps name the fear and shrink it. When you write down your anxious thoughts, they become less intimidating. You move them from your head onto the page. That shift is more powerful than it seems. It gives you space between you and the worry. Often, just writing things out is enough to calm your nervous system. You start to see that not every thought is true. And not every fear is urgent. Try this exercise next time you feel anxious: Write your top three worries. Then write one action you can take for each—or write, “This is out of my control.” That act of sorting helps your brain feel safer. Your journal becomes a quiet place to breathe. No fixing. No pressure. Just acknowledgment. With time, you’ll trust yourself more. And when anxiety flares, you’ll have a tool to meet it. It’s not magic—but it’s close. Try journaling through anxiety. You might find the calm was inside you all along.
