Einfach mal niederschreiben was in uns vorgeht, ist mehr als nur loszulassen, was uns belastet. Unsere innersten Gefühle in Worte fassen hilft uns, diese Gefühle zu verarbeiten und zu verstehen. Unsere Emotionen auszudrücken, erlaubt uns, einen Schritt zurückzutreten, eine neue Perspektive zu gewinnen und oft sogar einen Sinn in dem zu finden, was uns bewegt. Diese Art uns auszudrücken und ehrlich zu uns selber zu sein, hilf uns, uns selber zu verstehen und zu akzeptieren, und einen Umgang mit dem zu finden, was uns belastet, damit wir weitergehen können.
