THE SIX WORKSHEETS

Today, in a few words: a quick daily check-in

A moment I want to note: what happened, what you felt, what came next

What is on my mind?: name a concern without having to solve it today

What helps me?: keep track of what you tried and what you noticed

Looking back: a gentle review after a few days or a week

Words for a conversation: prepare for a chat with someone you trust or a healthcare appointment

Also a short guide page and an extra free writing page.

HOW TO USE IT

Start on any page. Skip any prompt. Print the pages as often as you like for your own use, at actual size or 100 percent. For the fillable edition, open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader (free) or Apple Preview and save your filled copy under a new name. Some phone apps and browsers do not keep typed entries.

ABOUT THE PROMPTS

The prompts were informed by public guidance from the NIMH and the NHS on stress, worry and talking about mental health. Links are on the guide page. Those organisations have not reviewed or endorsed this workbook.

PLEASE NOTE

These are personal reflection pages, not a diagnosis, treatment or crisis plan, and they have not been clinically validated. If stress is persistent or hard to cope with, consider speaking with a healthcare professional.
