Day 1 – Journal About Your Stress

[Greeting]

Welcome to the Stress Management Challenge! Over the next 21 days, you are going 
to learn about 21 different techniques and habits that can help you to start lowering and 
managing your stress.

This will not only help you now, but going forward for many years, you will remember 
these stress-busting techniques, as each of them is super easy and practical. 

For day 1, we’re going to journal a little bit. 

Journaling is an effective way to help you reduce stress and improve your mental well-
being: journaling.

Through the act of writing, you can express your thoughts, feelings, and concerns in a 
safe and private space. Journaling is amazing for self-reflection and self-awareness, 
and even helps you to see patterns of behaviors you weren’t fully aware of before. 

It can also help you to identify triggers, patterns, and behaviors that may contribute to 
your stress and provide a healthy way to process and release those emotions.


Today in the Workbook: If you are using the workbook during this challenge, you will 
see some journal prompts in the workbook for day 1 that help get you started on 
discovering more about yourself, what causes your stress, and how to begin tackling it.
