The Journal of the American Medical Association tells us that writing about stressful situations, stressful life events, even the stressors of daily living helps to reduce symptoms of asthma and rheumatoid arthritis, and the effects of writing are long lasting.<\/p>\n

This is just one study in a growing body of evidence that shows the mental and emotional health are linked to physical well-being.\u00a0 Scientists cannot pinpoint exactly how this works, but they believe that regular journaling strengthens immune cells, called T-lymphocytes.<\/p>\n

Writing about the stressful events of our lives, that which weighs us down, helps us to come to terms with them, which reduces the impact of the stressors on our health and our weight!<\/p>\n

Expressing oneself through writing can lead to better health, as well as help people cope with stress.\u00a0 And we all know how stress impacts upon our health, don’t we?<\/p>\n

5 Ways to Express Yourself on Paper\u2028\u2028…
\n…Strengthen Your Immune System!
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Keep an old-fashioned journal\u2028\u2028.
\n2.\u00a0 Set up a “dummy” e-mail account on one of the free servers as a place to dump your stress and send yourself a note every day.\u00a0 It is your “stress relief” email address, used only for this purpose.\u00a0\u00a0 It is a solely a dumping ground.
\n3.\u00a0 Write small notes to yourself on index cards, thus limiting the amount you can say and deposit them in an old-school cigar box (or container of your choice).\u00a0 Again, only for this purpose.
\n4.\u00a0 Cut out a picture or two to go with your words from a magazine.\u00a0 Using your glue stick, collage your stress away.
\n5.\u00a0 Text message yourself every time you are stressed to your last nerve.\u00a0 Write it. Send it. Read it. Erase it.\u00a0 Let it go.\u00a0 Lighten up!<\/p>\n

Sometimes it’s just that simple!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

How can you best express yourself on paper?<\/strong>
\nTry both manually written messages and electronic versions and let us know!<\/p>\n
