WRITING AS THERAPY

There are days when life can be overwhelming. The daily grind of making a living binds us up inside. When I write my feelings on paper or blog, the tension is dissipated. It is also during times of duress where some of my best writing has been written. I encourage students that I tutor to write down what they feel. It relaxes them and I learn about how they are ticking. It also strengthens their writing and communication skills. Carrying burdens and frustrations inside can lead to depression, anger and hopelessness of never seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. What I'm saying is write to your heart's content. Get all that anger and frustration out. You'll feel better for doing so, physically and emotionally.
