Keeping a Diary

In CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) clients are often recommended to record their anxious thoughts and their daily activities in a diary.

This can help to distance you from the experience of anxiety or depression if you are feeling negative and it can also give you a more objective record of how your day goes - of any good points as well as the negative things that you may have a tendency to focus on if you are feeling stressed or down.

To read more about what you might include in your daily diary if you want it to be a useful tool in dealing with stress, anxiety or negative thoughts, click on the link below:

  2. Thanks for your comment. Just to clarify any confusion: CBT is not something you suffer from! It is a particular psychological approach for helping people suffering from problems such as anxiety or depression.
