Dear dumb diary...is this my gut or my anxiety? OKAY-ISH

- Mental Health
Maryellen has had to make some big decisions lately, and a friend asked her how she was making them. That made her stop and question just how exactly she was making these decisions, and if she was listening to herself as much as she was to everyone around her. When people suggest you listen to your gut, it can be difficult; especially if you struggle with anxiety. What was helping Maryellen the most was actually journaling, something she’s gotten back in to recently, and speaks about today. She discusses:
How we make decisions
The ways we can journal in non-productive ways
Her history with journaling
Journaling as a tool to understand yourself and organize your thoughts
Different types of journals
Tips to avoid spiraling when journaling
How we operate on autopilot
Understanding what is a gut instinct vs. what is anxiety
Processing events and making decisions
