The confusion and anxiety you feel today could be the result of seeds planted in your past. So dwelling into your past, into memories that you perhaps would otherwise like to avoid and forget or have consciously wiped out, can help identify the source of your anxiety.
In many cases, anxious people know that they are experiencing anxious feelings. They can tell you how they feel, but they don’t know why they feel that way. This is why journaling can be an important tool to help you manage and overcome anxiety. Ask yourself what happens when you start to notice your emotions and body signals. Write about your experience while fresh. This will help you pay close attention to your thoughts, feelings, and body reactions.
While writing the journal:
Use emotional words to describe strong and/or recurring emotions, such as joy, liveliness, nervousness, guilt, remorse, dizziness, etc. This will help you find the root cause of the problem.
Emphasize the feelings that make you anxious. Describe the circumstances that led to this most colorfully.
Write down your thoughts as you imagine the worst. Surprisingly our minds can fantasize about things that never happened and probably never will.
The purpose of daily journaling is to establish patterns, if any. These things can be our greatest fears. We can imagine tragic events and draw the worst conclusions without any reason or logic. So, by repeating this, you go through the same many times over. It’s because your mind and body may not be able to differentiate between the real and the imaginary world.
Remember that you can manage and even overcome anxiety by learning to feel better through introspection. When you ask as many questions as possible about your insecurities you get the answers from within. It is because of this reason that constantly observing and writing to analyze your emotions, thoughts, and their relationship with your body’s reactions is so important. Stay calm and be at it. Tell yourself to get better, and not panic. Yes, you can.
