Finish this sentence: I find it hard to be alone with my thoughts when…

Being alone with your thoughts can be an overwhelming sensation at times — especially in those moments when distractions are at an all-time high, or processing them doesn’t feel super safe or accessible. Whether it be due to a health condition, external circumstances, or all of the above, having a way to get through those tough moments is important.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks finds it hardest to be alone with her thoughts when she’s having limiting beliefs and things around her don’t seem like they would change. Journaling is important to her because it allows her to explore the things she can do for herself that can help her find a sense of relief.

When do you find it hardest to be alone with your thoughts? What are some things you do or can do that would be helpful in processing those thoughts?
