Soothe Your Soul

🖋”Writing is the doorway to our inner wisdom. I call it, soul-journaling because it helps me decipher my most intricate dilemmas while finding peace and contentment despite of the challenges I face.” Lilian Llanos

🌸 I used to recommend journaling as a tool for emotional release and getting clear about the vision of your life. 🌸 Well, I must take part of that back and this is the reason why.

🌸 As I’ve immersed myself in neuroscience research, I’ve found out that the notion that it is healthy to express your negative emotions has been disproved by hundreds of psychological and neurological studies. In fact, the opposite is true, the more you write about a particular event that made you anxious, angry, or depressed, the more you will entrench it into memory.

🌸 So, please, if you’re still journaling about your crappy experiences and beliefs, this is what I suggest you do instead, write only one sentence about the “problem” and then write about all the possible ways you can resolve it. In this way you’ll create an experience that is uplifting and that turns on your problem solving area of your brain, and help you find peace and hope. #innergymaster
