Put Them in Words

I have a feeling people reading my blog may walk away thinking I live on cloud nine everyday. I don't know about other bloggers, but it is difficult to share your inner most thoughts and deepest feelings to the whole world. I have clients who would not share their fears or sadness even with their siblings and close friends. Somehow we tend to put up a front to others that all is well. Only counsellors get the "privilege" to hear and see the darker side because they are strangers.

For me, the way to tackle the "blues" is to put them in words whether on blog or personal journal. On the flip side sharing an amusing thought or anecdote in writing also enhances the joy or delight of the experience. The latter of course is easier to do than the former on a blog.

Yes I may perhaps be on the right path finding the things which bring some form of fulfilment but I still have emotional baggages to work on. These are mainly anxieties and excessive worries, for example over my children's well being. Although, I have learnt about cluttered minds and the techniques (cognitive, gestalt etc,etc) to help clients see light and gain awareness; applying on myself, I find the progress slow and painstaking.

One day when I manage to heal myself completely I may write a book about my journey, a first person account incorporating the strategies or therapies applied. Wow, this very thought motivates me to work harder on myself!!!
