Don't audit your habits by their stated purpose. Audit them by their actual effect. Journaling might be 'for clearing your mind,' but if it stresses you out every morning, it's doing the opposite. A habit's intent is irrelevant; its output is the only verdict. Most productivity advice survives because people evaluate the story instead of the result.
