I was really excited to try this book but, for me, it just didn't offer anything new or novel. There are lots of books already out there on anxiety and journalling which I feel are more accessible, engaging and impactful.

The 30-day Anxiety Journal by Jonathan Jordan is a great tool to use and handy to pick up from time to time.

Super basic but all you need if you want to journal your feelings for a 30 day period. The design could have been more wow, but the content is decent.

The 30-Day Anxiety Journal - Jonathan Jordan

This is a follow along, fill in and reflect kind of journal, which I personally feel would help me and others who may suffer from anxiety, even if not followed daily, but used to dip in and out of when necessary. I personally really liked the positive quotations/uplifting thoughts at the top of the daily reflection pages. A compassionate breezy way to help with your anxious thoughts and helps you to keep track of your moods and feelings. Thank you Netgalley, BooksGoSocial and Jonathan Jordan for this e-arc in return for my honest thoughts and opinions.

I initially felt skeptical of this book, as the author is not a trained psychologist but rather someone who’s just experienced therapy and anxiety for a while. But then I saw how empathetic and understanding they were to the needs of super anxious people. I think they melded several approaches to anxiety quite well in this journal, which is very much a type of mood tracker.
I liked it overall. A compassionate, understanding book.

Are you a person whose anxiety is a constant companion? Would you like to try journaling in an effort to feel better? If yes, this title is worth a look. The author, who immediately shares an experience of his own anxiety in the opening of this title, offers guidance to better manage this often troubling emotion. He notes, as the reader should, that this book is a supplement and not a substitute for needed mental health services.

The book begins with an introduction that highlights self-care prompts, others-care prompts, the feelings log and an example of this and, finally, a 5 day check-in example. Next the journaling begins with space for the 30 days. The book then ends with a final debrief and thoughts, a personal notes section for those who want to write more and information on the author.

Try this. It can’t hurt and it might help. Wouldn’t it be nice to diminish this challenging emotion?

Many thanks to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for this title. All opinions are my own.

This is. Lear, easy to use, and super helpful. Full of very good ideas and prompts. Thank you so much for writing and sharing this journal.
