Hey Members,

Here we are in the last week of September already! Tip number 8 in our series of feeling good and being happy is ...

Write it out!

A great way to relieve stress and practice mindfulness is to keep a journal.

Instead of keeping worries and stresses cooped up inside your head, let them free on paper.

Research shows that writing down your thoughts is therapeutic, allows you to prioritise problems and can help you gain perspective.

You don't need to keep a detailed diary, the simple act of writing down how you feel in a couple of lines, describing a part of your day or even just a doodle can help your organise your thoughts and calm a racing mind.

Do you keep a journal or diary? Do you think it helps? 

Have a great week, Ange.

There is that word again, "mindfulness" ................. my Psychologist would not even use that word infront of me, go Google Brown Univeristy mindfulness men vs women

Absolutely I too learnt to do this through my psychologist. 
It truly supports your presence in situations we encounter each day. It's also helps me realise how grateful I am to possess diabetic management that helps me through each result.

Thank you for the post.

This helped me this week!! Diaversary number one is approaching & I've been a bit down. Can't tell my hubby & I have no T1 buddies,  so posted in a Facebook group & received some kind responses. Felt so much better writing it down.
