Journaling Can Be A Form Of Meditation
People meditate or do yoga. Those grow with internet write. I write. (This is inspired by Herman)
People feel lost all the time. When I was a kid, I didn't know how to get out of it. The bad feelings hurt me too much for me to do anything else. After growing up, I found out that writing is a great way to clear my thoughts and calm myself. Eveytime I feel lost, I would grap a pen and a book, or a laptop whatsoever, open a notepad and just start writing. It doesn't matter what I write, it could be a mess or nonsense. The key is not what I write down, it's the writing process itself. The fogs dissipated gradually during the process. I may not feel happy right away, but it does calm me down.
Writing is the process of clear thinking. My brain is foggy until I write something down. First they are diaries, then I do note taking, now I write blog posts and maintain a digital garden.
Privately, I have a habit of journaling. Many opinion leaders have recommended it. Anne-Laure Le Cunff has been particularly inspiring me. I start each page by date and write down anything that worths recording, such as a great article I just read, some thoughts flash through my mind, or something happens that affected my mood. I reread all the content I recorded every once or twice a month, edit and organize it, and then archive it. Everytime I reread them, memories fhash through my mind again. And it feels really warm and calm.
They have been a great help to me and I intend to continue doing so. I've tried meditation before but it didn't work for me. I am glad I found a way to get through difficult time. I hope you do too.
