Write!

 

Whenever you feel overwhelmed with emotions, start writing. This is your body's way of telling you that your brain is thinking way too much about some things that you usually can't control, and its affecting your body. You feel it too. your heart is beating faster, your blood is rushing through your veins, you get headaches or you get dizzy, you feel nausea, you start having panic attacks and anxiety attacks. That usually mean that you are thinking of things that happened and you don't like the outcome but you can't change it, or that you're thinking about things that haven't happened yet but that you would like to control the outcome, because you fear it going a certain way.

Sit down, take a piece of paper and a pen, or your laptop and open a word document, and start writing. Write everything you're feeling. Everything that you can't change, everything that's coming and you can't control, everything you're fearing. Just write! Write it all out! It will calm your mind, body and emotions.

If you can't sleep and you have all these thoughts playing on repeat, write them down. Once they are out of your mind and unto the paper, your brain will see this as "OK, I'll handle these later because I've put them down on paper and I know that now they are there". 

Part of solving a problem is putting it down on paper. When you have it there, your perspective over it changes. You start seeing it differently, and you start seeing options that you weren't seeing before. Because when you have it down on the paper and out of your mind, it feels like you are detaching from it and you're watching it from the outside, you're no longer in the middle of it, and now you can look at it without the same overwhelming emotions that you had when you were right in the middle of it.

So, just write. Whatever is bothering you right now, whatever you feel in your body, making you want to cry, or run, or leave it all behind, just write it down. Release your soul from that pressure. You will feel so much lighter.
