Writing is such a therapeutic activity, one that is often taken for granted. \u00a0Research is available that supports writing. especially journaling, even going as far as to explain how it can strengthen our immune system, help us sleep, manage depression, and facilitate our thinking through problems. \u00a0It’s also a way to grant immortality by leaving behind our stories. \u00a0We all have stories in our hearts that need to be shared. \u00a0Journaling with a favorite pen and cup of coffee nearby can be a very beneficial activity for all of us.<\/p>\n
We begin with asking what we want to write about in this journal. \u00a0Will we be reviewing or reflecting? \u00a0Be still. Calm down. Focus.<\/p>\n
Investigate in your head your thoughts and feelings about whatever you choose. \u00a0Set a time limit and just start writing. \u00a0Read over what you’ve written with introspection. Sum it up.<\/p>\n
Like most new skills, journaling takes practice, but it can be so helpful to those going through the grieving process. It is well worth the efforts.<\/p>\n
