Can journaling reduce stress?

Yes. Expressive writing is associated with lower stress and better emotional regulation. Naming a stressor loosens its grip and helps separate what you can control from what you cannot.

What should I write when I'm stressed?

Write what is weighing on you, then split it into what is within your control and what is not. That single distinction is what turns stress into action.

When is the best time to journal for stress?

Whenever the pressure peaks. An end-of-day entry also helps you put the day down before sleep.
