Episode 230

Journaling is a form of self-reflection or introspection where one makes an account of their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It is a helpful tool for people who want to reduce their stress levels & anxiety and can also be an effective recovery tool for those recovering from addiction. Whether you are looking for ways to improve yourself or just want to explore what’s going on in your life, journaling can help you get there.
