Journaling is something you can do to help you focus and be less anxious. These May journal prompts may be just what you need to help you focus on your inner thoughts. I use journaling as a way to get my thoughts on paper. Something I've learned about the art of journaling is it doesn't have to be serious. As it turns out, journaling is actually a life-changing habit.
