1. Today I am letting go of...

Start your day (or end it) by releasing anything that’s weighing you down — guilt, self-pressure, negative thoughts. Write it down, and set it free.

Why it helps: It creates emotional distance between you and your stress.

2. What made me feel safe today?

This simple question helps your brain re-focus on calm, comfort, and gratitude — even on tough days.

Pro tip: Use your vintage diary from YourDiaries to track these daily — they make beautiful night companions.

3. “If my anxiety could talk, what would it say?

Let your anxious voice speak — without judgment. You might be surprised what shows up. When it's written down, it feels a little less scary.

Healing Tip: Use a pen you love. Light a candle beside you. Make the ritual feel gentle.

4. “What do I need right now — emotionally, physically, mentally?

Often, anxiety is your body asking for something. Writing it out brings clarity. It could be:

• “I need silence.”

• “I need a hug.”

• “I need sleep.”
  Whatever it is, it matters.

5. “A message to my future self...

This one gives you hope. You're telling yourself:
“You’ll get through this. You’re doing okay.”
It brings perspective — and sometimes, peace.
