Journaling is a great mental health tip! Take some time to scribble your thoughts in a notebook, on a pad of paper or in a beautiful diary. It really does not matter how you do it-just do it.

This activity can also allow you to process anger and other emotions in a productive manner. That is my mental health minute for today!
