Stress during adolescence can reach considerable levels, something that undoubtedly affects the behavior and mood of young people. For all this, it will be essential that they can have tools through which to channel those sensations that are even overwhelming for them.
A highly recommended way to do it has to do with the journaling technique. The numerous benefits that it brings make it one of the most advisable ways to learn to manage, and face in the best possible way, feelings and situations that can generate stress and anxiety in young people.
Journaling is a practice that consists of writing in a notebook all the experiences and reflections of the day to day. It is a kind of life diary, but there is no rule that determines the “proper” way to do it, since the key to journaling is that each person adapts it completely to their own needs and concerns. It is not necessary to write everything that happens every day, as if it were a log. You don’t even need to spend time on it on a daily basis, it could only be when you feel the need to. Also, it will be enough to just express thoughts and feelings that are going through that person’s mind at that time.
Journaling is a very positive and easy way to teach adolescents about how to manage emotionally, in order to maintain good health and mental stability. This is due to the various advantages offered by taking this practice as a habit to resort to when required, either daily or sporadically.
