Any type of meditation is good mental and physical health; and it can take the form of journaling, because it does center you...I have been journaling for a few years now, and though I won't go into the specifics and bore ya, it is a fantastic way to healing and to self-discovery. Especially when you go back and read things written years before. Getting things down on paper is quite different than just thinking because the physical kinesthetic action of writing, the mental processes of putting thoughts and images and feelings into written form, is very therapeutic. I also wrote fluent poetry, that flowed out of my pencil in one take, completely in rythmn and sometimes metered rhyme, that to this day baffles me that it came from me. Art is another wonderful way...so is any kind of craft, and music as well. Since I am an artsy-fartsy (pun intended
) person, I find when I sew, draw or write, it centers me and does help you to heal in the way you need to do so. But that is for me...others may find it in nature walks...I am trying to do this more and more. when you don't, your body and mind suffer...tho it's hard if you are having D attacks and have stuff to get done! And....sometimes I need to get away from the puter and do what I mention here!! LOL
