journaling tools for mental health

Journaling is a simple but powerful way to process emotions, reduce stress, and gain clarity. It helps build self-awareness, identify patterns, and promote self-compassion. Whether for venting, reflection, or gratitude, writing can support mental well-being—one page at a time.
