Journal to Ah-ha

When one is going through their dark night of the soul, many emotions, thoughts and feelings can come bubbling up, leaving one feeling confused and alone. One way to sort through these emotions is to journal. There are no rules. Some people like to have a topic to focus on while others just start writing whatever comes to their head . I say try both! I like to journal with an old fashion notebook and pen, but typing notes in Word works too. Just start getting it all out. If you are like me and keep things inside for fear of hurting someone, then writing is a perfect way to let go of those thoughts. I am often surprised at what comes out when I write with no purpose other than to put all my crazy, jumbled, brain-rats thoughts on paper. And sometimes, not always, there is that Ah-ha! moment. That moment when something that has been a burning issue suddenly becomes oh so clear. You sit back , look at what you have written and realize what a long way you have come and how much wiser you are.

Kinda makes you want to keep writing, doesn't it?
