Time-Tested Ways to Protect Your Peace of Mind

Some worries lose a little of their power once they are written down. That is one reason keeping a journal has helped so many people over the years, whether they filled pages every night or only turned to it when life felt too crowded inside their own heads. Paper is patient. It does not interrupt, does not rush you, and does not ask you to sound polished. A journal can hold complaints, memories, plans, gratitude, old grief, and little observations about the weather or supper or something your mother used to say.
