Have you ever heard of writing down your feelings in a letter to someone but never actually sending it? It’s something new I’ve been trying out the past few months and wanted to share my experience so far! We’ve all had feelings of anger towards someone, but anger is said to be a secondary emotion.
Writing out a letter to that person can help you dive deeper into your feelings and uncover what’s beneath that anger. The more we hold onto those negative feelings without letting them out, the closer we are to a breakdown (trust me, I’ve been there many times and it’s not fun). Writing a letter expressing your feelings towards someone and the things that you want to say to them, can help you process your emotions and find clarity in the situation. For me, it’s provided a sense of relief and allows me to assess why something or someone is bothering me.
Once you’re done writing your letter, rip that baby up, throw it in the trash or better yet, burn it and come up with a mantra to help you physically, mentally and emotionally LET IT GO. It may feel weird at first to write a letter that you’re not going to send, but just go with it! Let your emotions and the pen do the work and see what comes out when you start to be vulnerable. You may uncover some things that you didn’t even know were bothering you.
XOXO,
