<h2 class="c-heading-4">Write down your thoughts</h2>
<p class="c-paragraph-3"> While the holiday season can be merry and festive, it’s also a time of reflection and can sometimes start to feel dark and lonely. If you begin to feel overwhelmed, writing your thoughts and feelings in a journal may help.</p>
<p class="c-paragraph-3"> A journal is great for organizing whatever’s on your mind. You can use it to understand and express your emotions or to keep track of your daily to-do list. Motivational quotes and gratitude lists are also good for staying energized and grateful during periods of stress.</p>
</div>
<div data-grid="col-12">
<p class="c-paragraph-3"> To be consistent with your journaling habit, use habit-stacking to associate it with something you do every day.</p>
<p class="c-paragraph-3"> For example, you can journal your plan for the day while drinking your morning coffee or eating breakfast. At night, try journaling after you brush your teeth and climb into bed.</p>
