Pour It Out By WRITING It Out
No sirrrrrrrrrs, this is not straight from the Billboard Charts. BUT I can sound like a broken vinyl record [Ooooops, who else knows about it?] BUT I've been in many situations in the past, MOMENTS when I was euphoric way beyond the clouds, MOMENTS when my anger was boiling way beyond boiling point, MOMENTS when I was so deeply thankful for the blessings heaped on me, MOMENTS when I was utterly frustrated for hitting rock bottom. So, HOW did I handle things, I did Pour It Out By WRITING It Out, literally speaking ๐๐๐
Yesirrrrrs, literally I poured out everything from deep within me. If it was about my car's fuel tank, I EMPTIED it out. So, WHEN did i EMPTY things out? Right in the heat of things. Right in the midst of my simmering emotions, regardless if it was out of euphoria OR out of anger. So, from a timing standpoint, you might ask me: Could you POUR IT OUT a day or two later? I'm sorry dude, that will be TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Frankly though, for many of us actually FEELING OUR FEELINGS is NOT something we have much experience with. Maybe we've dismissed our disappointment, our sadness, our anger, our anxiety, our grief for years. And that's just OK. Because it's something you can work on. And NOT just experts but I myself, I have proven it over and over again that the best way to start off managing these situations is to WRITE IT OUT, POUR IT OUT๐ง๐ง๐ง
Oh Oh, please DON'T worry if you are NOT a writer. You need NOT be one. You DON'T even need to be proficient in English. You can WRITE IT OUT, POUR IT OUT in your own language, your own dialect. Because this is NOT about English. This is all about giving justice to ourselves by WRITING IT OUT to POUR IT OUT, all the emotions that are suppressed deep within you. DON'T worry if you DON'T think of yourself as a writer. DON'T worry about creating sentences at all. Just WRITE FROM THE HEART. However it comes out. And if you'd like some structure OR guidance, allow me to share from the results of researches by experts in this field๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
- Write from a 'third person perspective'. That gives you 'SOME DISTANCE' from the feeling. Like, instead of saying 'I'm so anxious lately', say it like 'John has been feeling anxious lately
- Write about your MEMORIES. Look back for some of your emotional 'HIGH POINTS', like 'When did I feel so confused?' OR 'When did I feel so embarrassed or angry?'
- Write out your feeling REGULARLY. Any time you're feeling any kind of feeling, write it down
Dude, trust me, POUR IT OUT BY WRITING IT OUT
