When you feel that your emotions are running your life.
When you feel that your body is tense.
When you feel that your thoughts are difficult to control.
Write.
Simply take pen & paper and write down everything that goes around in your mind. As our mind can be compared to a computer, the process of writing down our worries and thoughts can be compared to closing off running programs. A computer or a cell phone works better when we clear all unnecessary actions, as our mind feels better when we write down our worries, fears or excitements.
Promise yourself that the effort of your work is going to stay with you, no one will ever read it.
You can write about:
How did your day go?
How did you experience your daily commute?
How did you enjoy your meals?
How did you feel talking to your boss?
How was your last project?
What do you want to do with your day?
What do you want to say to your friend?
What do you want to do to make yourself or someone happy?
What angers you?
What makes you sad?
What are you avoiding?
What are your wishes?
Just take a moment to notice what is challenging you and write about it.
As you pour your world on paper, you will experience a release of the sensation holding you back.
There is something magical about using our hands to communicate (with ourselves).
Once you start you'll slowly see the improved state of your being. Journaling as a habit is a healthy way of processing what is going inside us.
I truly recommend this exercise!
