Why am I writing again? Well, have you ever organised your college coursework, or a task in hand, or your room; Writing is the same as organising but instead of room, you are organising your thoughts and emotions.
The reason is that it gives a better result but however this does not mean that writing is all that is needed to organise thoughts and emotions but it is one of the tools that can be used. It is matter of controlling our actions and nurturing our mind!
Writing more than anything gives a voice. It is about admiring thoughts and feelings and letting them coexist. Both have a place in existence and have to be developed and worked on. Writing is not about one person to decide about our feeling/thinking, instead it is about finding our flow through writing. We can set our emotions and thoughts free for another person to see the same thing from within, after all we are social beings. We coexist with each other, therefore more we understand our emotions and our thoughts the better we can help ourself and others to understand our point of view. Writing, and in particular expressive and creative writing, helps us achieve this task.
Feelings/thinking need to be shared otherwise they fly away without anyone enjoying their beauty, their chaos, their creativity. The nature of feeling/thought is in its beauty, its beauty to be expressive and creative. If there is someone you can share your inner feelings/thoughts with, then don’t hesitate and just do it. Sometimes depending on the environment, that best person is you, you are the best person to understand your inner thoughts and feeling. We need to look after other people viewpoints as of our own because these thoughts and feeling are reflections of our own mindset.
There are many benefits to writing and any form of creative process. It lets us express our viewpoints and share our ideas with others. This idea can be in form of thought or feeling and sharing this with ourself as well as with others. It is a step towards unleashing our full potential.
We talk to ourselves, we make decisions, we liberate ourselves, and we integrate in society. Writing is a form of self talk. Writing helps us to be closer to our inner self, to be closer to our abilities, to feel understood, and to express ourselves. We need to do reflection in action, to reflect on ourselves and to find the ability and resource in ourselves to respond to our environment. We begin to imagine a new way of thinking and reflecting when we write. It is almost like a new dimension, where we begin to reflect on ourselves as we write. We therefore think, analyse, reflect and make decision on our desires, goals and aspirations as we write. We begin to use our resources and give direction to our thoughts and feelings. We can use writing to bridge a gap between our inner thoughts and the external reality.
Writing has been a form of self expression, when feel that we want to help ourselves and regulate our thinking. When we feel down, when we feel that we need to clear our mind, we can express ourselves through writing. Writing enables us to balance our thoughts, and our mind, it creates an environment for us where we feel heard, and it acts therapeutically for us.
