FAQ

Is this journal good for anxiety?
It was made for that. The prompts and mindful practices help you name what’s stressing you, notice what helps, and gather calming strategies in one place. It’s a supportive self-care tool, not a replacement for professional mental health care.

What is the calm toolkit?
It’s a section at the back of the journal that you fill in as you work through the lists. You end up with your own go-to page of strategies that help you feel calmer.

I’ve never journaled before. Is this a good place to start?
Yes. Each prompt is short and specific, so you never face a blank page, and there’s no wrong way to make a list.

Do I have to start at the beginning?
Starting at the beginning works best, because the four sections build on each other. The journal is undated, so you can begin any week of the year.

How is this different from the other 52 Lists journals?
The 52 Lists Project focuses on self-discovery, and 52 Lists for Happiness focuses on building joy. 52 Lists for Calm is the one for stress and anxiety. It’s the only one with mindfulness exercises and a personal toolkit.
