About the Therapy
The commencement of a positive habit generally accompanies a novel feeling of being in the present. Something like this happens once you indulge in the practice of Journaling. It promotes balance and stability of the free-flowing thoughts that one attains through writing vividly. In simpler terms, Journaling is the practice to communicate through words and releasing unwanted feelings so that one can get rid of unwanted thoughts and focus on important things. It provides us with an opportunity to actively reflect, breathe, turn to a fresh page, 'get real' about what we are thinking and feeling - also referred to, particularly in therapeutic settings, as expressive writing. However, everyone prefers a distinct way to approach this technique. The choice of a particular writing style can play an important role and tell a lot about one’s personality that might convey concrete information about one’s mental well-being. For starters, you may try one with us. After all, one of the more effective acts of self-love is happily one of the cheapest. So, grab a pen and a diary to join us.
For Assessment
Mindfulness is a term that might spark several interpretations. Is it an afternoon spent on a meditation couch, focusing on your breath whilst listening to some soulful music? Or a moment spent centering yourself and watching your thoughts in the midst of a crisis? Well, mindfulness encompasses all of those. But at its foundation, it is all about channeling your thoughts so that you can be at peace with them. The key, however, is to shed light on the parts which are often hidden from others and make this technique a means of acknowledgment. Along with the emotions, the focus here is to align the actual thoughts and feelings of the past and present. Feelings or experiences cannot always run on the same graph. Art of Journaling aids in identifying the potential causes of distress and markers of anxiety. The human mind tends to travel and reach various heights every moment in day-to-day life. But it is important to sit back sometimes and make sense of the past, actualize the present and who would not agree that a little planning is always helpful to start a new day.
