Technology is the greatest, isn’t it? It’s a wonderful tool that is both convenient and accessible. I love the idea of thought journaling to challenge irrational thinking, but the personal issue for me is lugging around the journal itself along with a pen.
Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a free, easily accessible tool to help you jot down thoughts when you needed to, that checked in with you on your daily feelings to help you track them, and maybe even offered deep breathing tools and other tips?
Well, there are! This is your quick guide to tools to help when you’re feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and sad – and the best part is, they’re all F-R-E-E!
