Here’s where you can buy guided journals from

It’s always been difficult for me to express my emotions, thoughts and feelings in an accurate manner. A few months ago, as I was recovering from a bout of anxiety I read about how journaling could help overcome it. I decided to try it. But with only my frenzied mind to help me pen down my thoughts it was agonising to fill even one page. I’m certain that I’m not the only one. There are many ways to combat anxiety in our day-to-day lives such as meditation, physical exercise and journaling. However, it can be overwhelming to be alone with your mind—whether during a five minute meditation or while writing in a diary. So, we’ve got just the thing for you.
