On this episode of The Journaling Guy Podcast (Season 3, Episode 7), I'm talking about how Journaling can help you cope with Anxiety.

We covered how Journaling can help release Stress in Episode 5, so now we're going to look at Anxiety.

Anxiety is different to Stress. Anxiety is more internal. It’s not always tied to what’s happening right now but what might happen next. And dealing with that is VERY different to how we deal with Stress.

Your Journaling Prompt for This Week is:

1. What am I worried might happen? - Be honest. Write it down.
2. How likely is this, realistically? - Not emotionally, realistically.
3. If it did happen, how would I handle it? - This is powerful because it reminds you that you’re more capable than your anxiety suggests.
4. What is actually true right now? - Bring yourself back to the present. The Result? Your Anxiety softens and the mind feels safer and more grounded.

On this episode of The Journaling Guy Podcast (Season 3, Episode 6), I'm talking about an Easter Restart.

The days are getting longer and lighter and there's a subtle sense of things beginning to shift. We're not trying to reinvent your life but to begin something that could quietly change it.

1. What’s been on my mind lately?
2. What feels slightly off — even if I can’t fully explain it?
3. What do I need a little more of right now?
4. What would a small step forward look like this week?

Season 3, Episode 5

On this episode of The Journaling Guy Podcast, I'm talking about How Journaling Can Reduce Stress - FACT! Journaling isn’t just about 'Reflection', it's also about Science.

Journaling, when it’s done properly, can genuinely reduce stress in your body and your mind, and that's exactly what we discuss on today's episode!

Your Journaling Prompt for This Week is:

Step 1: Write freely for 10–15 minutes, then...

Step 2: Focus on one thing that’s been sitting with you - Go deeper!

Step 3: Add this question at the end - “What am I actually feeling about this?”

Step 4: Close with perspective - “What would a calmer version of me say about this?”
