Writing Therapy

Writing can be very therapeutic.
Ever had one of those day's where there is just so much going on, your mind is spinning like a top, and it feels like your head is going to explode?? Unfortunately that seems to be the norm for most. With our fast paced lives, it just seems like there is never enough time to unwind and re-group. That is when I make time, even if it is only 10 minutes. It really is amazing that even 10 minutes away from the hectic situation, can make a difference. Once the 'dust' settles around me, I like to find a nice quiet place and write. It has been helpful for me as a way to get these trapped spinning thoughts out of my head.
A quiet place can be anywhere. My personal favorite is at the beach, weather permitting of course. The beach seems to have a calming effect all of its own. Evenings, just before bed is another time that is helpful. Ever lay there in bed, trying to go to sleep, but the daily events just keep replaying themselves over and over in your head?? Try writing before bed. It is a great way to clear your head. Not only can it help you fall asleep sooner, but it can help with a better nights sleep.
If you are having trouble with sleep, or just trying to unwind, give these tips a try, see if they help you. You have nothing to loose, but everything to gain.
I invite you to share any tips that may have helped you. Maybe you have a totally different reason why you enjoy writing, that you would like to share with others.
Please feel free to share your thoughts, tips or ideas!
Happy writing!!
