Write it down

I write poems about my feelings and hard times I go through. I keep them in a journal. It's good to write it down so it doesn't bottle up inside. Because eventually the bottle fills up, spills out the top and down the sides, and then the mess it makes is even harder to clean up.

That's awesome, who knew there was a song like that! I really enjoy journaling, I get into phases where I journal often and then it falls to the wayside. Going to get back into it because it always seems to make me quite happy!

There's a song that might help:
 
Put it on paper. Save it for later. Tomorrow won't be the bad.
Put it on paper. Save it for later. Put it in a black steno notepad.

Members,
 
Are thoughts lurking in the back of your head?  Is there something troubling you? Write it down.  We spoke about journaling and writing down your thoughts and emotions, yet occasionally, there just isn’t the time, so point form!

Have your pad and pen near by!

Did you come to a realization?
Did your mood change?
Do you see a pattern?
How is your mood today?
What are you eating?
Are you angry?
Are you happy?
Did you reach a goal?

That’s right it is all relative! 

Take some time and sort it out, knowing your triggers, emotions, situations, and food consumptions can move you forward and help better assess your situation.
