Control Freak

New to Journal Party?

Meet your journal's new best friend.

This program is designed for those who find themselves caught in the cycle of overthinking and the constant need for certainty. If you struggle with anxiety or stress related to productivity, these sessions will help you find peace by letting go of what you cannot change. By focusing on your effort rather than the outcome, you can cultivate a sense of wellness and learn to embrace uncertainty with grace and patience. You will work through ten guided prompts in your journal. The experience is enhanced by a session timer and calming ambient audio to help you stay focused. Taking the prompts one at a time helps you slow down, name the pressures of daily life, and let them go. We built this program with therapists on our Mental Health Advisory Board to give you a structured path toward emotional freedom. Start a session today and find the unexpected joy that comes when you finally surrender control.

• A prompt when you need one

  Every session opens with a question, so you never start at a blank page.

• A timer and music

  Each prompt gets its own timer. Turn on music or a soundscape if you like company.

• New programs every week

  Hundreds of programs with new releases every week, and daily prompts for journaling.
