Being able to express yourself is an important part of good mental health. Unfortunately, it’s also something that doesn’t come easily to everyone. Keeping things bottled up and hidden away isn’t healthy, which is why writing as a form of self-expression can be so valuable for those struggling with their mental health.
A journal is a great creative outlet for getting your thoughts onto paper (or tablet, computer, etc.). Writing about your thoughts and feelings can be cathartic, helping you deal with difficult situations or get your confidence back on track after a setback. Any type of writing is good for improving our mental well-being. Whether it’s writing about the things you love, the things that frustrate you, or anything in between – all forms of creative expression can positively affect your mental state.
These mental health journal prompts will help you explore your mental state and feelings in a safe environment where there are no wrong answers.
