How do I start a mental health journal?

Starting a mental health journal is a great way to reflect on your thoughts and feelings. You can begin by choosing a medium—whether it's a physical notebook or a digital app. What do you prefer?

I think I’d like to use a notebook. Any tips on what to write?

Absolutely! You can start by writing about your day, your feelings, or any specific events that impacted your mood. You might also consider prompts like 'What am I grateful for today?' or 'What challenges did I face?'

That sounds helpful! How often should I write?

It's best to write regularly, but it doesn't have to be daily. You could aim for a few times a week. The key is consistency, so find a rhythm that works for you.

Should I worry about grammar or just write freely?

You should definitely write freely! This journal is for you, so focus on expressing your thoughts without worrying about grammar or structure.
