The Rehabilitation Centre in New Delhi in
collaboration with all the Rehabs in New Delhi, talks about writing being a
perfect example of ‘writing’. Writing is regarded as something which we don't
usually do unless we are actual writers or poets or bloggers, but honestly
there is no such bondage. One of the best therapeutic and stress relieving
activities is just penning your thoughts down.
The Rehabs in New Delhi usually states
that when you feel too overwhelmed, try writing down how you feel. Let the
words flow. If there are grammatical errors, let them be. To vent out is the
primary aim. When you write you automatically go through the entire problem and
as words flow, a little bit of peace settles and you are able to organise your
thoughts in a better way. You get some clarity because sometimes you gain more
perspective.
To put feelings into
words is not something that everyone can do very instantly, because each person
is unique. However, music is a great impetus to your writing. Listening to the
songs or artists you love, might motivate you to write. For some, drinking
their favourite beverages, say Coffee or Tea is helpful to give a refreshing
start.
The need to write:
If you are a person who prefers not talking
about their problems with others, it would be excellent if you jot it down.
Random memories, random incidents when written give you a lot of headspace so
you can multitask and do other things which you have planned to do, but were
unable due to a block in your mind. We carry a lot of baggage. It's in memories
of conversations we have had, places we have been to send many more. Unpacking
is necessary because unless you do you can't start afresh. Giving words to your
thoughts is a way of accepting them.
One of the most important things
to keep in mind is that this isn't for others to read. It's for your own
selves. So don't bother about how perfect the sentences are, as long as they
are in harmony with your thoughts. You can later, if you wish to, build on the
writing if you really are interested or have some ideas.
Otherwise, look at writing as a
journal for whatever you feel like talking about, so that you never are alone
because even if there is no one else, you have some pages and a pen and that is
enough. Don’t worry if it is not written creatively, like some random rants you
might have come across on Facebook or elsewhere, say in a book. It is necessary
to remember that what you write is your space and nothing can disturb that.
