There are days when everything feels too much. When your chest feels tight, your thoughts race in every direction, and you just can’t get a grip on what’s real and what’s fear. I’ve been there more times than I can count. That’s why this part of the journal—the Black Hole—is one of the most personal and important pages for me.

This page exists for those exact moments when anxiety takes over and you don’t know what else to do. You don’t have to fix it right away. You don’t have to figure it all out. You just have to release it.

Why This Works (And How It Helped Me)

Anxiety feeds on silence. On the things we keep in. The thoughts that spin and spiral in our minds because we’re too overwhelmed or too ashamed to speak them out loud. But the moment I started to write those thoughts down, something shifted.

I gave them a place to land. I saw them outside of myself. And suddenly, they felt less powerful.

That’s the magic of the Black Hole. It’s a space to unload everything that’s weighing you down—your panic, your sadness, your “what ifs,” your “I’m not good enough” thoughts. You don’t have to explain or make them sound pretty. Just get them out. Let the ink carry the chaos.

How to Use the Black Hole Page

Write it out.
Whatever is in your head—no matter how irrational, messy, or heavy—write it directly into the black circle. Imagine it as a literal black hole, sucking in the negativity and freeing you from its grip. This is where your fears go. Your doubts. Your “I can’t handle this” moments.

Take a breath.
After you’ve written everything down, pause. Take a deep breath. That release alone is powerful. Let yourself feel the emptiness now that the anxiety is out of your head and onto the page.

Fill the space around with light.
Around the black hole, there’s white space. That’s where you replace the darkness. Write kind words to yourself. Reminders of who you are beneath the anxiety. List things you’re grateful for or affirmations that calm you. Draw something soothing if words don’t come.

Think of it as reprogramming your mind gently, without pressure. You’re telling your brain, “Yes, this is hard—but here’s what’s still good. Here’s what still matters.”

When You Return to This Page Later…

This page isn’t just for now—it’s for later, too. You might come back and see those dark thoughts and realize they don’t have the same power anymore. You might even smile, knowing how far you’ve come. Or maybe they’ll still sting, but you’ll also see the light you chose to write beside them. That contrast is healing.

And if the same anxious thought comes back again (because let’s be real, anxiety doesn’t always disappear the first time), return to the black hole in your mind. Picture that circle. Picture the positive words and light around it. You’ve already made a safe space for yourself. You can always go back.

You Are Not Your Anxiety

I want you to remember this:
Anxiety is something you experience, not something you are.

The black hole doesn’t just absorb your thoughts—it reminds you that you’re in control. You get to choose what you keep, and what you let go. You get to write a new thought after the old one is out. You get to choose peace over panic, even if it takes practice.

You’re not broken. You’re just overwhelmed. And that’s okay.
Let yourself feel, let yourself write, and trust that it gets better.

This part of the journal isn’t about perfection—it’s about release. And healing begins with that first release.

So take your time. Come back to this page whenever you need it. And know that every time you write, you’re creating a little more space for peace, clarity, and hope.

You’ve got this. 💛

Every situation we go through—good or bad—has something to teach us. Life is constantly nudging us toward growth, pushing us to see things from a new perspective. Instead of getting stuck in the frustration of a challenge, take a step back and ask yourself: What is this moment trying to show me? Maybe it’s about patience, letting go, or trusting yourself more. When we stop seeing problems as roadblocks and start seeing them as lessons, everything changes.

Even the hardest moments carry a gift, even if it doesn’t feel like it right away. Every challenge comes with an opportunity for growth. And here’s the truth—there’s always a solution. Life is naturally balanced, and whether you see the glass as half full or half empty is up to you. You have the power to shift your mindset, to choose hope over fear, to believe in yourself instead of doubting. You are the creator of your life. How you react to what happens around you shapes the direction of your journey.

Love Yourself, Completely

Loving yourself isn’t just about saying nice things in the mirror (though that helps too). It’s about accepting yourself—fully. The good, the bad, the messy, the beautiful, all of it. It’s easy to love ourselves when things are going well, but true self-love means being kind to yourself even on the hard days. Even when you make mistakes. Even when you don’t feel “good enough.”

Take time to get to know yourself. What makes you unique? What are your strengths? What are the things you struggle with? The more you understand yourself, the more you’ll see just how special and valuable you truly are. And when you start treating yourself with the same kindness and patience that you give to others, your whole world starts to shift.

Gratitude is a Game-Changer

Some days, gratitude feels easy. Other days, not so much. But even when life feels overwhelming, there is always something to be thankful for. Maybe it’s as small as the warmth of your morning coffee, a kind word from a stranger, or the simple fact that you’re here, still standing, still trying.

The more you practice gratitude, the more you train your mind to focus on the good instead of the bad. And most importantly, gratitude keeps your heart open. Because when bitterness and negativity take root, they close us off from the beauty of life. Protect your heart. Keep it soft. As the saying goes, “Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.”

Dream Fearlessly

Never stop dreaming. Never stop imagining the kind of life you want to create. Your dreams aren’t silly, and they aren’t too big. They are yours for a reason. Let your creativity and imagination run free—because the only limits are the ones you believe in.

Visualize what you want. Feel it in your heart as if it’s already yours. And most importantly, trust that it’s possible. Every great thing in this world started as someone’s dream. Why not yours?

So take a deep breath. Trust the journey. Keep learning, keep growing, and never stop believing in yourself.

Hey there, and welcome! If you’ve landed here, chances are you’re curious about journaling—or maybe you’ve tried it before but never quite stuck with it. Either way, I’m happy you’re here. Journaling has been a life-changing tool for me, and I truly believe it can help you too.

Writing things down has a way of clearing the mind, helping us process emotions, and even making sense of the chaos life throws at us. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stuck in your thoughts, or unsure how to move forward, putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) can be the best thing you do for yourself.

So, why is journaling so powerful? Here are five reasons to give it a try:

1. It helps clear your mind

Ever had a million thoughts racing through your head, making it impossible to focus? Writing them down can help organize the chaos. It’s like a mental detox—you get all those swirling thoughts out of your head and onto paper, which makes room for clarity and peace.

2. You gain self-awareness

Journaling helps you understand yourself better. When you write about your feelings, fears, and dreams, you start to notice patterns—what lifts you up, what holds you back, and what truly matters to you.

3. It’s a safe space for your emotions

Not everything needs to be shared with the world. Your journal is a judgment-free zone where you can be 100% honest about how you feel. Whether you’re processing sadness, anxiety, or even excitement, writing it down helps you release those emotions in a healthy way.

4. It helps with stress and anxiety

When your thoughts feel overwhelming, journaling can bring relief. Try writing down your worries, then challenge them—ask yourself, Is this really true? Is there another way to see this? You might be surprised at how much calmer you feel after getting it all out on paper.

5. You create a record of your growth

Looking back at old journal entries can be eye-opening. You’ll see how far you’ve come, how much you’ve learned, and how strong you truly are. Sometimes we don’t notice our own progress until we see it in our own words.

Ready to start?

The best part about journaling? There are no rules! You can write daily or whenever you feel like it. You can use prompts, write freely, or just scribble down random thoughts. The most important thing is to start.

If you don’t know where to begin, try this: “Today, I am feeling…” and just let the words flow.
