Expressing Yourself Through Writing Gives You Power Over Your EmotionsAs you express

I just hope that after reading the article you will consider taking your pen and paper and relieve stress off your mind. Go forth, and express your way!

Learning how to express yourself and your feelings can be an excellent technique to live a more fulfilling and authentic life. By expressing yourself, you can release emotions and can firmly believe in yourself thus building a life worth living.

If you have never thought of expressing your feelings through writing, the best way to begin is by writing a letter to yourself. To make it easier since it’s your first time, pretend to be writing to a confidential friend whom you trust. As silly as it may sound, a letter to yourself allows you to explore your feelings and thoughts. It doesn’t always have to be professional. Sometimes it’s only an expression of oneself through words. When stressed, I write to express my sadness, happiness, thoughts, stress, and anger and by the end of my writing, the burden is lifted.

Writing Releases Stress

Writing helps in expressing your anger. By pinning it down and crumbling it away, it helps to let go of those things making you angry.

The best way to handle your anger is by expressing it on a paper. School can be overwhelming, but you can have a big relief by only sitting down and jotting what you feel. It sure helps you feel relaxed.

When I am stressed, I take a paper and write all that is going in my mind. I write how I am not satisfied with myself, how someone hurt me, how I am demotivated, how I miss someone and so on. Essentially, I don’t think of big words to express my feelings, but I write my thought as they roll down in my mind. In the end, I feel free like a weight has been lifted off my shoulder.

You Can Create a Great Story

Putting your thoughts in a paper is incredible because you can come up with a great story out of it. The best book, movie, and songs came from jotting what’s in mind. A while back I came across an article by Susan K. Perry, the author of “Writing in Flow: Keys to Enhanced Creativity” she explained that the best way to come up with a story, is by exploring your memory and consider some questions such as “when did you feel most confused or afraid? Regardless of the situation, you have been in, write it up! When did I feel angry, sad, embarrassed and shame?” For each question, write a paragraph, and without realizing it, you have a whole book.

Once you choose not to think about it and to write, everything falls in place as it is supposed to. You see, sometimes I write because I would love to be a great author someday, but the biggest reason I love writing is that it’s the most fulfilling stress reliever.
