What"s Troubling You? Write About It
This life has many challenges; many unanswered questions.
What do you do about them? Dialogue them to your diary.
Jot them to your journal.
Put them to paper.
This is one instance I highly recommend hand-writing, though of course it's up to you.
There's something therapeutic about writing these personal things by hand, I find.
Like a beautiful rainbow tracing its way through the sky can change your whole perspective of a rainy day, writing your troubles down can make you see things in a whole new light.
How can writing your thoughts help you? Writing about what is happening will take the situation out of your head, where unanswered problems can take on immensely worrying proportions.
Seeing your words in 'black and white' enables you to study the question or situation in greater depth.
Writing will better enable you to clarify your thoughts far better than if they just remain in your cerebral space.
As you put the thoughts into words, and the words into sentences, and write them down at leisurely hand-writing speed - in comparison to the zipping rate of thought processes - you will gain objectivity.
The paper is unbiased.
It's not going to judge you, condemn you,or tell you what an idiot you are; though I can't guarantee you won't do that to yourself after you see it all written down! (I confess I have sometimes realised what an idiot I've been after I've written something down, when beforehand I was blaming someone else for my woes.
) The more intensely personal the issue is, the better the value of writing about it may actually be.
(Shred the paper later if you are worried about anyone seeing it.
) Writing down the details of a situation can help you gain a better perspective, which can in turn help you work out solutions.
You may find that the process of writing your thoughts down will later turn into a letter to a friend, or a story that can be helpful to others, or some other form of writing.
Many a book has started this way.
Alternatively, just record it for yourself as a lesson learned.
What about those situations that remain unsolved? I can assure you, you will have questions that stay unanswered, even with all your best efforts to resolve them.
As I see it, God our Creator knows all the answers, but I may have to wait until I get to heaven to be able to ask Him what they are.
While I certainly wouldn't claim that writing about a problem will always help you solve it, writing about what's bugging you can help you see things in a clearer light.
