When we are experiencing pain and disappointment, we naturally want to run and tell someone about the tribulation. Well, I'm here to say...STOP! Don't talk about it, WRITE about it! There is strength and power in expressing yourself through words, and writing can have a therapeutic effect on people. It does not have to be a best seller, a 5 paragraph essay or a dissertation. It could be a simple word that describes your feelings and experiences. Don't analyze. Don't criticize. WRITE!!
Write until you cry, until you laugh,until your hand aches or until Divine says that you are complete. Fear not the ridicule of others when expressing yourself in written form because No One is perfect. So we might say, "How is writing supposed to help me with my problem, issue or concern?" My response is simply GO WRITE IT!
The power of words on a paper. It makes it real, doesn't it? We have to confront, aknowledge, admit that we are feeling...this/that/the other... because it is THERE. On the page. Can sometimes be scary. because at the end of that page we can find our POWER.
ReplyDeleteYes Laura and finding our power is what all too many of us run from on a daily basis. I say let's access that power and rule the universe.
