Stress and stress-reduction can be related. We all realize that stress is an inevitable experience of daily living. “It’s not all a bed of roses” as some wise person once said. It’s what we do to manage or reduce stress that can make the difference between misery and balance. When we learn and practice “healthy” techniques to manage our negative thoughts, overwhelming emotions and urge to behave self-destructively, we develop a coping attitude and healthy skillsets. These tools then become available to us now and in our future.
We will always be confronted with some type of stress throughout our lives; we cannot control that, but our responses or reactions are within our control. Journaling or personal writing can be one of those effective skills available to us. In general, some benefits of journaling include: it’s flexible and easy, helps us know ourselves better, enhances creativity and intuition, captures our life story, aids in problem solving and healing, enhances personal growth and of course aids in reducing stress.
