Recently I came across a post that indicated a desire to write and share what was inside, but a lack of words to express it all. I can certainly relate.
I have not always been able to write my own thoughts down, especially in this manner. Getting my thoughts out of my own mind seemed like a twisted exercise in futility. But I really needed to begin to get it out before I allowed it to just simply eat away at me.
The start of that was not easy. How do you get those thoughts to come out… especially when they are just swirling around inside and I can barely get them to settle long enough to make sense? I would immediately freeze up and quickly just quit before getting started.
What I did find I could do was talk to myself out loud. I could easily walk myself through my own thoughts when I allowed them to be voiced. Finally, it made more sense… If I just allow the thoughts to be voiced, no matter how they sounded, they could begin to be clear. My own writing began to open up and I was able to get at least a part of them out and expressed.
Of course, in many cases the writing may have been a bit more raw than I wanted to get out for anyone else to see. So, I could always go back and revise a few things to clean up. But it was a start, and in doing that, I have been able to allow those thoughts to be expressed much more freely.
So, to the one that is having difficulty getting out what is inside, try this for yourself and see if that helps. You could also reach out to someone that might have a willing ear to share your thoughts… without judgment.
