Journaling is one of the most helpful self-reflecting activities you can do.
Not only does it allow you to clear out some of those thoughts that have been behaving like a hamster on a wheel, but it gives you the opportunity to take a deep dive inward, and possibly gain very helpful insight and perspective.
