Write it down

Think about what you do on your daily job? It is probably safe to assume there may be some writing of some sort during the day at work. Many of you may write more then others depending on what line of work you are in. What happens when you are stressed at work? I'm pretty sure you still write things down and continue the job at hand. But, you still may be anxious, stressed or upset at something going on in your life. You still need to concentrate at work, in order to be productive, stressed or not. Try this unique exercise when you are stressed at work. Think about why you are out of your health, and write down five words or sentences that you feel at this second. After you write them down, move on to the next thought for your job. In one hour, if you are still thinking about what you wrote down that were stresses from the start of this exercise, write five more words or sentences of why you think you should still be thinking about this. Then, move on again to the next work related thought. You are learning to journal your thoughts, and move on to new thoughts. Some people will go home, or once they clock out of their job, revisit their journal and laugh over why they did not try this a long time ago. They are your thoughts, your feelings, your own stress. You have the power to let each thought go on paper, or in your head. Train your mind to work for you not against you. If you hold on to that stressful thought, and do not let it go, guess what, you are still stressed and are making that thought bigger minute by minute. You do not have to be at work to utilize this exercise of writing down your thoughts. Work is a positive platform for this opportunity to write it down, because you have a task at hand to get back to. However, you can journal where ever you are in the day. Once you begin to practice writing down your thoughts, you are able to move on to the next thought, and let the negative thoughts go. You feel validated, and are doing this on your own! Five words, or five sentences. It feels nice to handle your own stuff on your own time table. Stay in your health, stay in the moment.
