Journaling

 The best known form of therapeutic writing is journaling. This can be done to be record things such as:

• Weight loss
• Food intake
• Pain
• Gratitude
• Health
• Exercise
• Mood

 

Free Writing

This type of writing is extremely cathartic. It simply involves writing without thinking or stopping to edit. Basically you take the opportunity to dump your mind on the page.

The most important point to remember is to give yourself privacy so that you don’t feel constrained by the presence of others and to keep your writing private. This will ensure you feel secure and safe to write whatever you need.

This can also be called “Inspired Writing” when you ask a question to the Universe, God, The Creator of All That Is or your Spirit Guides or whatever source you connect with most deeply. Write the question with your RIGHT hand (connecting to you left analytical brain). Switch over to your LEFT hand (to connect to your right intuitive mind) and start writing whatever comes to you.

 

Letter Writing

Letter writing might seem to be a lost art and outdated but it is actually another powerful form of writing with extremely cathartic and therapeutic powers.

Writing a letter to yourself, a loved one, friend or someone with whom you are having a problem can really help to clarify the problem in your mind. It helps you to think through issues and to rationalise them. Often the very act of writing the problem and suggesting a solution can help you achieve peace and come to terms with it.

You don’t actually need to send the letter. Often it will be best not to if you have written in anger. The act of writing will have helped lessen the anger which was the purpose of the exercise.

 

The reason writing is such a powerful therapeutic tool is that it allows for observation and tracking over a period of time. This provides the ability to track thoughts and feelings on a regular basis. Triggers can be identified as well as patterns. 

By writing you create a connection between your inner self and your outer self. The mind-body connection is known to be very powerful so by externalizing your inner anxiety and issues you are taking a conscious positive action to improve your situation.

If you want to relieve stress, gain clarity on your problems and solve them then why not pick up a pen and start writing? Another unexpected benefit is that you will probably find that you get to know yourself better.

 

Enjoy your day,
