Write it Out

Smythson

My life ,while wonderful, can at times

be very stressful. I'm always working or on

the go, with little time for myself.  At times, I have found myself

surrounded by anxiety and stress. So much in fact, I developed

TMJ.  It was so bad and out of control that I actually broke 

my mouth guard.  My dentist, who is so fantastic, recommended 

that I start keeping a journal. Like you know Dear Diary, sort of thing. 

Being the jerk, that I am, was like "yeah ok, sure will try it." 

Didn't think it would work at all but my TMJ was so

bad, I was willing to give it a shot. 

For the past few months, every day or every other day, I take

a few minutes and write, whatever

pops into my head. Some days I write alot

and other days I don't.  Wouldn't you know that after a few weeks,

my TMJ was getting better and I was feeling so much better.

I was so stressed that I didn't even realize I was stressed.

I'm happier, more positive, and overall feel better.

So many great benefits, just by putting pen to paper.

If you suffer from anxiety or stress, try keeping a journal.

It will make you feel better. And for the times, when you don't have 

pen and paper, type some notes down in your phone. It works as well. 

How do you cope with anxiety and stress??

Let me know, I love hearing from you!!

Best, Marie
