Writing Sometimes Helps
So many nights we overthink our days and we spent most of our time stressing about things we cannot fix or explain. We have so many outside things that go on that add on to our everyday struggles and worries. We start to either stress eat, become very anxious, or it starts to depress us.
Stressing becomes so normal that we do not notice that we are stressed out, or that we have become overwhelmed with everything. As people, we do not ever figure out how to process life or to cope with those things we seem to not be able to handle.
Well for me, I found writing was the key. Expressing feelings and making sure I got them off my mind and on paper made me free from the thoughts/ anxiety that took over me. Stress for me caused so many problems that I had to learn how to handle it before it handled me.
I was a poetry writer, well I am still a poetry writer I just keep that part of me to myself. I loved to write poems based off my feelings and what had me feeling a way because it gave me a way to cope with what I thought was hard to put my finger on. Over time my poetry became my safe haven the only place I felt safe like my words were my understanding of how to deal with life.
Writing your thoughts and being able to vent to put on paper what really troubles your mind is a blessing because it helps you come up with solutions or even figure out your real feelings on the subject. Sometimes we believe we feel one way until we write it out and process our thoughts then we find out that's not how we felt or feel at all.
In life, we all have to find that one thing that can help us not focus on the bad so much and can help us get our stressing and anxiety in check. Writing might be that thing for you; try it.
Until next time, I will be #SurvivingLife.

Writing is definitely a form of therapy for me. I love to write. Writing helps me get all my emotions out without having to tell anyone else. When I don't write, I get anxious and my thoughts start to get jumbled. I journal and sketch my emotions with emojis. I often do what I consider a brain dump. This is when I just write whatever is on my mind in no format or style. I just go. It feels good. I would definitely recommend writing as a way to relieve one's stress. This topic was spot on.
