What role does journaling play in your life?
Although I've had the most fulfilling college experience, I've also had my fair share of mental health challenges. I've dealt with anxiety for most of my life, and developed depression early on in my freshman year. Since then, I've started therapy and have incorporated journaling into my everyday routine. I am religious about it; journaling grounds me. I wake up every day and write down three things I'm grateful for, three things to look forward to, and three things I can work on. It's become increasingly important to me to start each day on a positive note. Then, I write out a list of my tasks for the day. Everything seems much more manageable and less intimidating on paper. To me, there is nothing more satisfying than crossing off a task once you've completed it, and watching your to-do list dwindle. I'm a very visual learner, so having something tangible to look at really puts my mind at ease. Not only has journaling served as a creative outlet, but it has also done wonders for my stress and anxiety in college and beyond. Also, it's really rewarding to look back at my journal and reflect on my time at Tulane. I can see how much progress I've made!
