Writing is a relief 

Sharing your words with people is a big health benefit for mental wellbeing. As emotions disturb you when you suppress them, you feel pleasure and frank at the time you free them. Writing doesn’t differ from speaking. As long as you write, you better get and feel stability.  Sociologists say that a person couldn’t be alone unless he lives in a community or he is with society. Despite that writing is a skill and what makes a person peculiar, it is a relief and heals so many psychological problems. This article articulates the health benefits of writing.

American social psychologist James W. Pennebaker was the first one to introduce the mental health benefits of writing. After the introduction of James, many studies have shown the prominent benefits of writing.

A study by APA pointed out that writing can assist to relieve stress by combatting negative and intrusive thoughts. The study elaborates that writing about negative experiences can help you to overcome them and that, by putting your experience into perspective, you can focus on the positive as a result. As Bridger Murry says, writing is not new therapy for mental problems. Many years ago practitioners used writing and journaling to heal people to cure stress and anxiety.

Writing makes You free from stress: When too many thoughts come together they result in stress. Conversing and writing may have involved relieving this. “When you write something down, you can read objectively and question all the false statements or judgments. With this in mind, through using the method of journaling, even long-term memories can become less intrusive”.
