You may have uncertainty regarding your job, your business, your health benefits, your daycare arrangements, your finances, your travel plans or the health of yourself or family members.
The above experiences combined with the information being shared on social media, TV and radio broadcasts may be causing feelings of overwhelm, stressed, frustration, sadness, uncertainty, anger or anxiety.
Support to Help You During This Time
I want to offer support to help with these feelings you may be experiencing. A few years ago, my book, “Engage, Connect, Grow” was published and I wrote it to help people who are experiencing the feelings mentioned above.
Journaling is a Simple Yet Powerful Health Resource
The key tool readers use in the book is journaling to help cope with mental health challenges. In the book, I quote research from Dr. James Pennebaker, who is a psychologist and leading expert in a field he created, something, he calls “Expressive Writing” and research from the University of Rochester Medical Center.
Proven Research About the Benefits of Journaling
Pennebaker found that journaling strengthens immune cells, lowers levels of depression and anxiety and increases positive mood, social engagement, and the quality of relationships.
The University of Rochester Medical Center found journaling can improve mental health. The benefits include managing anxiety, reducing stress, and coping with depression, to name a few.
During this time of recommended social distancing, journaling can be an easy and effective way to cope with what you are experiencing.
