How Your Journal Writing Can Reduce Stress In Your Family

Journaling can help reduce the stress in your family in several
ways For one, by lowering your own stress levels, you will get
along better with your family You will be a happier person
which will, in turn, make everyone else happier to be around
you
You will also learn to deal with family situations better and
can teach the rest of the family ways of better managing their
stress Through journaling, you can also learn a new
appreciation for your family and this will show when you are
around them
Use the following prompts to help you use your journal to reduce
family stress
“My family makes me feel stressed by” “My family deals with
stress by” “Sometimes I get angry at my family when”
“Sometimes I resent my family when” “If I could change
anything about my family, it would be” “One thing that would
make my family better is”
You can work your way through these prompts at any pace you
wish Be sure to keep an eye on your stress levels Note how you
feel when writing about each situation Does writing help you
“let go” and release certain emotions and feelings that could be
causing you stress?
This same plan for reducing stress in your family works for your
friends and your workplace Often we get so busy in our lives
that we never take the time to really think about things that
are bothering us or worrying us We just push it further back in
our minds and these things keep building up This is basically
what stress is Journaling will help you bring these things out
so that they can be acknowledged and dealt with
