Keep a Journal to Process Pain [and Reclaim Your Most Luminous Self]

I love journaling, and for hundreds and hundreds of years people who have gone through difficulty, people who are experiencing calamity and chaos, open a journal, turn to a fresh white page and pour their pain, or pour their confusion, pour their frustration out onto that page. It does something so powerful. It allows for a profound release of what you’re experiencing out onto the written page.

Here’s the key. If you repress and suppress your feelings of anger, of sadness, of
disappointment, all of those lower energy feelings, if you keep them inside, they not only build up toxicity and they build up resentment and frustration, but those are the very things that lead to inflammation, that create this disease. And so, what I’m sharing with you grit with great love and respect is really very potent. Pages. Pull out your journal and write what you’re feeling onto a fresh, crisp, written page.
