As a dyslexic, simplicity and enjoyment were really important to me when it came to my mental health journaling. In the beginning, I also was not sure how to even start. Writing was never my go-to activity to reduce stress, but this simple journaling method has been working for me. And research has actually established that there are all kinds of benefits to journaling. Many people that are neurodivergent encounter mental health struggles from time to time. However, this way of journaling is a great way to gain clarity and improve our well-being. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a well-researched approach that helps a variety of people. Thought records are a staple within this approach. Through this type of journaling, I was able to help myself in mentally challenging situations, and it is a tool I will keep using in the future. If you are a beginner when it comes to your journaling, you might want to try this method. Since it does not involve too much writing, it is a good option for dyslexics or anyone with little time to spare.
