Show People How to Relieve Stress with a Journal
I get so angry that I cannot hold it in any more but do not want to fight with loved ones. The journal is just for me and a thoughtful way to let it all out. It is a great way to just vent and then healthfully go on with my day, with a clear and focused mind. Lots of people have never experienced this and do not know hot to begin. Teach them!
Show your students how journaling can help them avoid the snares of bad habits and addictions, often caused by bad choices in dealing with the stresses in life. Having a healthy way to vent, as opposed to loosing a temper, or turning to drugs, to deal with what life throws at us, will benefit them for a lifetime.
After they have vented all their negative thoughts in a journal, also show your students how to focus on the positive aspects of any situation. Have them try to list the benefits and opportunities created, rather than just the problems and negative aspects. If this is part of the exercise of journaling; requiring them to look at, and for, positive aspects from a negative situation, even the most stressful experiences can lead to a positive outcome. Relating examples of this technique can be very helpful, showing how others have benefited by practicing this skill in journaling.
It is so important to teach people how to laugh at themselves, and others, using
Journaling is one great way to relieve stress. I have a journal that I use when I humor to take the stress away from normal human mistakes that can happen to us all. They need to take the time to notice they are doing good things too, that can be included in their journals. With this basic foundation of confidence and self-esteem that journaling can provide, your journalists will be better able to handle changes and stresses.
Make sure the students learn how to keep things in their proper perspective. This is such an important part of relieving everyday stresses. Taking each situation and analyzing them from different points of view, the negatives, and positives. Show the journalist a useful skill; in understanding, how each stress relates in the whole scheme of their life. They will learn how to adapt to changing situations in life, thus reduce their stress load if they are able to just 'let go' of the little stress triggers we encounter in our lives every day.
Handle it as you would any class offered on-line. Have certain dates that classes will begin, and have them sign up for classes. On the other hand, offer to walk each student through the process of journaling. How to start a journal, when and how often they should use it, and give an outline of what to write about in their journals. You could offer to send a basic outline, and then answer their questions on your web site. Alternatively, offer a chat room on the subject at certain times of the day. Designing a workbook to give the students could be helpful too. This would not cost you much to start, just your time.
As for an initial investment, this would be such an easy business to run from your home, or with a web business. The best way to get started would be by advertising a self-help program, dealing with how to handle stress in life by journaling. Since just about every age group and life-style needs stress management skills, you can advertise virtually anywhere. Word of mouth from former students will help eventually so that you should not have to advertise much after you have established your business.
