"It might also be useful to write your thoughts and feelings down in a journal. According to studies conducted by American psychologist James W. Pennebaker, journaling - also known as "expressive writing" - for at least 15 minutes a day, about your innermost thoughts and feelings, can help release "blocked emotions" and make you feel "significantly better, physically and mentally". In fact, retelling a problem or experience in words, rather than simply thinking about it in your head, can help "bring about a change in perspective."
To make the most of your expressive writing session, Pennebaker suggests asking yourself three questions:
1. What happened?
2. How did I feel about that?
3. Why did I feel that way?
When writing down the answers, don't worry about grammar, spelling complete sentences or repetition. As Pennebaker says, "What counts is that you delve into your deepest feelings".
