Well all know journaling is good for us, right? Well if you don’t – hear this: Journaling can help you to release stressors and emotions and be a safe place to vent. IT can also be a place to work out ideas or dilemmas you’re experience. As an emotional carb eater, journaling has helped me tremendously in the past ‘purge my words’ so I don’t try and stuff them down with sweets.
However, lately I don’t journal much. Not sure why, I just don’t feel like it- that is, until I found this site: 750 words. The premise is simple. It’s based on a technique from the “Artist’s Way” which includes writing 3-pages daily called morning pages. It just so happens that 750 words is about 3 pages. This website is a virtual journal that challenges you in a fun way to write 750 words/day in an uncensored, private, daily fashion and it will help you keep track of how often you do it. There is something charming about the approach to the site and I like the design. It’s very simple.
All I’m sayin’ is that in the past few days I’ve journaled every day and feel a lot better. I have been stressing about some upcoming decisions and been home alone a lot. This is a recipe for eating in the absence of hunger, particularly for wanting refined carb goodies for me. Writing it out and not worrying about perfection has helped me tremendously. Maybe it will help you too. Check it out!
