When thoughts are transformed into words, it’s like magic, isn’t it? Think about it, something that is wandering in your mind, your soul, your thoughts; rambling thoughts running through your mind. Probably unsaid words to those loved and lost.

Try writing these thoughts down; it will make you feel so much better –as if you’re saying what you want to them. They say that ‘some words are better left unsaid’ but then again, those unspoken words could be a huge mistake if kept secret. After all, who can say that they wouldn’t make all the difference?

Writing down your own thoughts gives you the ability to examine them carefully, as if they were someone else’s words, objectively. You get a clear picture on all the issues that are bothering you, from another view, after some time has passed. It gives you the ability to find the holes that someone left behind and fill them with either a change –or even just a reinforcement of yourself– in the realization that really strong feelings can make you weak sometimes. But it’s not forever and you never made a mistake; you just overanalyzed and overrated someone who didn’t deserve it.

Writing down your own thoughts is like an analysis of your own soul and personality but whether you choose to share those thoughts with others, is a different question.

The mind smoothes over paradoxical and difficult issues; things that might have happened, and sometimes it ignores our flaws and rapid reactions. This is where the power of writing your thoughts comes into play.

The act of writing will impose a very careful assessment of your thoughts since you’re organizing and revising them before you write them down. It’s like you expose, and bring to light, the whole truth in an article, or even a paragraph. Written language is so very important because when you actually see and ‘prepare’ your own thoughts; that’s when the liberation comes.

The therapeutic power of writing.

After done with it all, you just read your own stories, with a clear mind and perhaps you will just grab your pen, your pencil or just start typing again on the keyboard to edit and write up your own happy ending.

Writing allows you to view your own perceptions literally right in front of you, and you can use the art of writing to analyze yourself, evaluate and fix your own thought patterns, as well as see all these notions from a different perspective.

As you write, you evaluate them more objectively. When you start reading them, you are more likely to spot reasonable inconsistencies, gaps and blanks that your mind allowed at a specific moment. As you continue to refine your thoughts through the written word, you will definitely discover that even when the everything around was falling apart, when life and people were disappointing you and you felt useless, for example, all these unjustified assumptions get tested and discarded and your thoughts will be improved –once you get a clear view of what is going on around you.

Everything happens for a reason, after all, and writing is probably is one step closer to understanding all those reasons as they become clearer and more consistent, just like your thoughts.

Filter your thoughts: they can give you a massive change to how you see the world after a bad and a sad experience; writing can make you breathe again, smile again and be your wonderful self again in no time. After all, writing is a reflection of a mature and a kind soul.

Besides, the written world is a whole new, other world and once you enter it, there’s no turning back.
