Many of us are not naturally aware of our emotions, hence we cannot embark upon a healing journey. One way to become more aware of our feelings is to write them down, in cursive if possible. Sit down with a spiral notebook some evening and ask yourself, What do I not want to write about today? What was so irritating or unpleasant that I have an aversion to wasting my time by writing it down? And start with that. Start with something you’d rather not relive from that day, and write about why.
Writing is a practice of awareness and a powerful tool for healing, and it’s practically free. If you’re open to the idea, try it, more than once. If you are getting good psychotherapy, your journaling could provide material for a gifted counselor to sort through with you.
