What will I do if...

Writing prompt for today

Good morning!

I invite you to grab your journal and pen to start your day. Set your timer for 10 minutes and if you choose use the writing prompt below.

What will I do if I feel anxious, stressed, or worried today?

For example, in my journal I wrote a few tools and strategies that help me: pause and breathe for a few minutes, step outside and get some fresh air, go for a walk, do a thought download (write out my thoughts, empty them out on paper), listen to music, pray. Repeat this thought to myself: I can handle any emotion that comes up.

I wrote down a few more things but you get the idea. I find this helpful to do at the start of my day and maybe you will too.

Happy Writing!

Poem of the Day:

Squash the stress
Wrestle down the worry
Anxious thoughts race
Action plan in place 

Walk or run
Pray or dance
No right or wrong 
You get the chance

Opportunity to take charge
Pen in hand  
Watch out thoughts 
I know where I stand  

I can handle any emotion that comes up
A thought to repeat
A tool I use that can’t be beat
