4 ways to bring in the good this Dussehra

In the true spirit of the Dussehra festival, it's time to let the bad thoughts out to make space for happy ones and one of the best ways to do that is to put a pen to paper and write everything that is bothering you. Not only does journaling help in releasing emotions, but it also gives you perspective and a chance to align your thoughts and feelings. You can opt for a guided journal like 'Wreck this Journal' by Keri Smith and 'Create your own calm' by Meera Lee Patel (available on Amazon) or go the old-fashioned way of getting a blank journal and letting your heart out. Journaling daily will help you regulate emotions and it's always nice to look back on how far you've come.
