Relieve the pressure cooker

"Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life."

-- Mary Manin Morrissey

Journaling is a great way to release and let go. To get things off your chest. Our minds are our own worst enemies. The same thoughts go round and round in the same old ways and keep us stuck.

If something bothers you, write about it. Get it out so you can see it from a different perspective. Let it out. Let it go.

Owning and healing your pressure cooker is an important step in claiming your power, building your esteem and making your stand.

"In truth, to attain to interior peace, one must be willing to pass through the contrary to peace. Such is the teaching of the Sages."

-- Swami Brahmanada

Yes, journaling can be a fabulous way to reduce stress!

Even for a very young child...

I taught each of my three children to express and release feelings on paper at a very young age. It helps them to manage "life" with great ease.

My eldest I recall would shred a piece of paper into 100's of tiny little pieces when he felt angry (Instead of yelling, whining, or acting violent towards others)... Now flash forward many years and he will be found rubbing a piece of paper randomly when he feels overly stressed, LOL!
*shhhh, it's our secret

Paper is calming to the soul if you find a way to express with it...

With (or) without a pen, LOL!


Nice post Solane
Good Day!
