What You'll Need
Optional materials for this quest.
Guided Journal for Anxiety and Worry
RequiredA structured journal with CBT-based prompts helps you track thoughts and practice cognitive reframing on paper — more effective than a blank notebook because the prompts do the heavy lifting when your brain feels foggy. Look for journals specifically designed around CBT or worry management.
The Anxiety and Worry Workbook (Clark & Beck)
RequiredThis evidence-based workbook by two leading CBT researchers gives you structured exercises, thought records, and exposure hierarchies — essentially a self-guided CBT course. It pairs perfectly with the free MindShift CBT app.
Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set
Lying on an acupressure mat for 10–20 minutes activates relaxation through mild pressure stimulation — many people find it genuinely calming after a stressful day. Optional, but a nice physical complement to breathing and cognitive techniques.
