The Anxious Brain Journal

$15.00

A guided journal for the anxious brain that has a lot to say but just needed somewhere to put it, without overanalysing and overthinking it. Real prompts. Honest questions. Thirty days of questions your therapist would charge you $180 an hour to ask.

Journalling gets recommended to anxious people constantly. What nobody tells you is that staring at a blank page when your brain is already loud is its own particular form of torture. This journal fixes that. I created it because I too, kept being told, and kept wanting to, journal but would open a journal / blank notebook / random piece of note paper and no matter what medium I tried, I kept staring at a blank page and give up after 5.4 seconds. I'd either freeze completely, be so overwhelmed by where to begin, overthink what to write (oh the irony!) or immediately spiral into the thing I was trying to process. What I needed were questions. Specific ones. The kind that actually moved something, inspired thoughts and encouraged me to simply begin.

So that's what this is:  One prompt a day. Honest, gentle questions and points of reflection that will help you learn more about your anxiety and hopefully carry it a little more lightly.

Thirty days of prompts (one per day) written specifically for the anxious mind. Not generic self-reflection questions. Not toxic positivity disguised as introspection. Questions that will actually help you understand your patterns, name your feelings, interrupt your spirals, and come back to yourself on the days you've lost track of where you went. Some prompts are gentle. Some might catch you off guard. Some the words may flow easily for, whilst others may force you to dig deep. All of them are worth sitting with.

You don't have to do them in order. You don't even have to do one a day. (I'll be honest, I have a 30 day journal sitting by my bed that isn't completed yet and it's been 2 years!) You don't have to share them with anyone. There are no rules here: just you, a pen, and thirty questions that might change how you understand your anxiety and yourself.

What’s inside?

  • An opening note on how to use it 

  • 30 daily prompts across themes: triggers, spirals, the body, the feelings, other people, the hard days, the better ones, the longer game

  • Space to write: generous, uncluttered, designed to actually be used

  • A reflection page at the end of each week to notice patterns across the days

  • A year's worth of monthly tracker pages

  • Next steps

  • And some helpful worksheets (who doesn’t love a worksheet!)
