Journaling Prompts for Restless Brains
Quick writing exercises to get the static out.
Sometimes your head is too loud, too restless, too “go go go” to feel like you belong anywhere, even in your own house. Journaling can help, but not the cheesy kind with ten-dollar notebooks and pastel affirmations. I’m talking about short prompts that get straight to the point.
These prompts help you put words to the stuff your nervous system is carrying: the restlessness, the guilt, the “I should move,” the constant scanning.
If you’ve ever searched:
“journal prompts for CPTSD”
“why can’t I settle at home”
“writing exercises for anxiety”
… you’re in the right place.
Why journaling works:
Writing slows the spin.
Putting it on paper stops it from running laps in your head.
Prompts give you a place to start when you don’t have words yet.
