Will writing down my feelings help me feel better?
Brain scans on volunteers showed that putting feelings down on paper reduces activity in a part of the brain called the amygdala, which is responsible for controlling the intensity of our emotions.
Psychologists who discovered the "Bridget Jones effect" said it worked whether people elaborated on their feelings in a diary, penned lines of poetry, or even jotted down song lyrics to express their negative emotions.

"Never trust your fears, for they don't know your strengths"
One of the best times to work on your mental health is when it's good!
Like anything worthwhile doing, it helps to form a habit and do it when you're in a good headspace so that when you're in a not so good headspace it flows and feels natural to you.
Don't wait until your mental health declines to begin writing down how you're feeling.
You wouldn't wake up one day and decide to run a marathon, you'd train and work on yourself each day, much like you need to do to maintain a positive mental health.

Review from Tiktok Shop
Friendly reminder, if it costs you your mental health, it's too expensive!
Notepads are a great way of being able to express emotion without the feeling of commitment like a journal or a diary would impose. Being able to tear off the page and screw it up, throw it away or throw it in the fire can be such a cathartic experience.
