Final update for my sister’s Traveler’s Notebook and how I used a worry journal to manage my anxiety

Hello, friends! I hope you are doing well as we move toward the end of 2023. In this video, I’ll share a final update and flip-through on customized Traveler’s Notebook inserts I made for my sister as a Christmas gift. This is the fourth year that I’ve gifted her a custom planner, and I’m excited to see what she thinks of the Traveler’s Notebook system based on the feedback she’s given me in past years on the A5 notebook size that I had given her previously. I also talk about why I decided to include a Worry Journal insert in her gift based on my own experiences keeping one in the past to help calm my mind down and interrupt negative thoughts when I notice myself feeling overwhelmed and living in a ‘freeze state.’ Let me know if you’d like me to discuss this in more depth in a future video. I don’t use my personal worry journal as much now that I have other journals and planners that serve a similar purpose, but for a while, this book was a critical tool that kept me functioning. **The holidays and end of year can be a difficult time. Regardless of how you’re spending these last few days of 2023, I hope you are able to find some time to rest and recharge. 💓** The article I referenced, in case you want to read more (note, this one talks about thought stopping in the context of reducing social anxiety symptoms, although I think it can be used for more situations beyond social anxiety). - Maharani, A.
