JOURNAL, BUT ACTUALLY

It’s true: That thing you used to do on and off in middle school until you finally gave up for good is a valuable form of self-care. Journaling helps us organize the jumble of thoughts in our minds, improving our memory and allowing us to sleep better, and even boosts our immune system and moods. And don’t put pressure on yourself to do it every day: Even just doing it in moments of stress can help.
