15 Self Care Kit Essentials for Women with Anxiety (Amazon Must Haves!)

Journal Notebook & Staedler Bullet Journaling Pens

A journal and bullet journal pens are a must have for anxiety relief.

Journaling is a therapeutic journey that allows brain dumping and self discovery.

It isn’t just a book of your experiences. Your journal is a document of you.

You can record your medical needs, what makes you smile when you’re sad, your smart goals, your favorite types of self care, your goals for the year, amazing facts about your life, what you love about the people around you, your favorite 30 day challenges, & Self care plan for negative thinking.

Keeping a journal is very important for self growth. Journals are private. You are allowed to say anything without repercussions. It allows you to express yourself freely, and explore your mind and feelings without judgement.

Journals are a doctor’s and therapist’s dream.

Patients that take notes have an accurate account of their thoughts and feelings. And when recorded on a long term basis it shows a pattern to your medical care providers resulting in better long term care overall.

And not to mention, journaling can allow you to cultivate your creative side.

Grab your journal and bullet journal pens and start cultivating positive mental health habits.

Books are some of my favorite anxiety relief products!

Reading has amazing benefits for anxiety disorder. From easing stress to helping educate the reader about their disorder to reduce the nervous system’s response.

With Kindle, you never have to choose which bag, which book, and how many you can take with you. It’s all there on your tablet!

I love Kindle Unlimited.

Why am I so in love with him?

Well it’s not just his super cute looks.

Carl, the anxiety weighted puppy, is weighted at 2.5 lbs making him an easily portable pressure therapy device.

Because no one wants to weight down their bag with a 20lb weighted blanket. I sure didn’t.

Carl has super soft “fur”. And his belly is filled with beads that are very fun to play with if you turn him over to rub his belly.

–Rubbing his belly made my anxiety melt like ice cream in the sun.–

How to Store Your Amazon Must Haves for Anxiety

Studies show that clutter can cause anxiety. But did you know that how you store your items can also cause it?

Your home should soothe you. So making conscious choices about the things you bring into your home is important.
