“Sadness is like a dark cloud, obscuring the light in our soul.” Perhaps we have all experienced dark moments, days and months immersed in sorrow and anxiety. So how do we overcome the storms of emotions, and let our souls be at peace and light? The answer lies within each of us: Learn to write about your sadness.
Writing to Let Go
Listen to Your Inner Voice
Like a stream weaving through each rock crevice, emotions also need an outlet. Writing is a way for us to gently untangle the knots in our hearts, to “pour out” the pent-up feelings onto paper.
Psychologist Dr. Nguyen Thi Thu Thuy, author of “Journey to Peace,” once shared: “When you write down what troubles you, you are directly facing them, seeing them more clearly and objectively.”
Emotional Diary: A Silent Companion
Take a few minutes each day to record your thoughts and feelings. No need for elaborate words, let your soul fly freely. It could be the joy of receiving praise from a colleague, the sadness of witnessing a separation, or simply the anxieties about life.
Transforming Pain into Creative Inspiration
Many famous writers and poets have found inspiration for their works from their own losses and sufferings in life. “The Tale of Kieu” by Nguyen Du, and “Lament of a Soldier’s Wife” by Dang Tran Con are powerful proofs of the strength of art in transforming pain.
Opening the Soul with Writing
Writing Letters to Your Future Self
Imagine you are writing a letter to yourself 5 years, 10 years from now. What do you want to say to your future self? What kind of person do you aspire to become? Writing letters to yourself is a way to reflect on yourself, identify goals, and find motivation to move forward.
