Years ago anxiety had a fierce hold on me. I raged at people I loved most. Couldn't make a decision because I was afraid every decision would be devastating.

A LOT of things needed to change in my life and I was grasping at everything. Medical care, mental health care, spiritual counseling.

Make no mistake, I needed ALL those things and at some point I will need those things again.

But it took journaling to bring all those elements together -- so I could take daily action and measure results over time.

One of my most important journaling tools? Completing a thing called the HEART Check every weekday -- as taught by John Baker of Saddleback Church.

I teach the HEART Check method in my #RoamanJournals
