And now a research to prove that writing down your feelings (blogging) helps you to feel better. This is because the act of writing the feelings down, makes the feeling of anger and pain less intense. Read the full article here.
“When you put feelings into words, you’re activating this prefrontal region and seeing a reduced response in the amygdala,” he said. “In the same way you hit the brake when you’re driving when you see a yellow light, when you put feelings into words, you seem to be hitting the brakes on your emotional responses.”
As a result, an individual may feel less angry or less sad.
This is ancient wisdom,” Lieberman said. “Putting our feelings into words helps us heal better. If a friend is sad and we can get them to talk about it, that probably will make them feel better.”
This is on negative feelings, how about positive feelings, I wonder if you write about love, will you feel less love?
