Staying updated on global events is important, but constant exposure to negative news can lead to overwhelming stress and anxiety. This phenomenon, known as news fatigue, affects many people today. The good news? Journaling is a science-backed way to combat it.
The Science Behind Journaling
Journaling helps process emotions and provides clarity. Studies show that people who journal regularly experience a reduction in anxiety by up to 27%. Writing down thoughts also engages the brain's cognitive processing, helping to reframe stressful situations.
