Journaling is a powerful tool for mental clarity, emotional regulation, and stress relief. It helps you process thoughts, identify patterns, and gain perspective—all in just a few minutes a day. You don’t need to be a writer or follow a strict format. The goal is simply to check in with yourself.
When you write down your thoughts, you externalize them, which can reduce their emotional intensity. It’s especially helpful during stressful times, when your mind feels cluttered or overwhelmed. Journaling can also help you track your mood, sleep, energy, and stress levels—giving you insight into what’s working and what needs attention.
Digital wellness journals make this habit even easier. You can log entries on your phone or computer, set reminders, and even use prompts to guide your reflections. Over time, you’ll build a record of your wellbeing journey that can help you make informed decisions and celebrate progress.
This challenge is about starting small. Just five minutes of writing can help you feel more grounded and in control. Try one of the options below and see how it shifts your mindset.

- Option 1: Write down three things you’re grateful for today.
- Option 2: Reflect on one moment that made you feel stressed—and how you responded.

- Go Above & Beyond: Start a digital wellness journal and log entries for the next 3 days.
