Journaling
Journaling allows you to express your thoughts and emotions in a safe way. It allows you to keep your thoughts and ideas organized, self-reflect on the events in your life, and relieve stress. Choose a prompt (or several!) and either open a blank Google Doc or grab a notebook and start writing.
