From Rage to Calm: How Writing Helped Me Heal

From Anger to Peace: How I Found Calm Through Journaling

 

A Night of Unexpected Emotions

 

Have you ever had one of those nights where emotions hit you like a tidal wave?

Yesterday was one of those nights for me. I was triggered by someone close to me, and let me tell you, as a Taurus, my instinct was to unleash my wrath.

But deep down, I knew this was happening for a reason, a chance to confront and release old wounds.

 

Seeking Support and Finding My Own Way

 

Initially, I thought a call to a trusted friend would help calm my storm.

 But after hanging up, I realized I was still fuming. That's when I decided to try something new - journaling.

Despite hearing countless times about its benefits, I never really gave it a shot. But last night, I poured my heart onto the pages, and it was transformative.

 

An Unexpected Ally: The Serpentine Crystal

 

Earlier that day, I felt drawn to my crystals and essential oils deck, something I hadn’t used in ages.

I pulled a card, and out came the serpentine crystal, symbolizing support for forgiveness and letting go.

I slept with it under my pillow, and to my surprise, I woke up feeling lighter, my anger dissipated.

A New Chapter in My Self-Care Routine

 

The following day, I interacted with the person who triggered me without any lingering resentment.

This was LIFE CHANGING for me, as this person often pushed my buttons. I realized the power of journaling and the importance of incorporating it into my self-care routine.

 

Here is a quick list of stress reduction and emotional healing strategies:

1. Recognize Your Triggers

- Be aware when something or someone sets you off.

It's important to understand that these moments happen FOR you, not TO you.

- Ask yourself: What past emotions or experiences are being stirred up?

 

2. Stay Level-Headed

- Take deep breaths and remind yourself to stay calm. Things can escalate quickly if you're not careful.

 

3. Seek Support Wisely

- Identify your go-to people for support, but remember that not every call will provide the comfort you seek.

- Evaluate: Did reaching out help, or is there another method to try?

 

4. Embrace Journaling

- Write down your thoughts and emotions. This practice can be unexpectedly liberating.

- Set aside time to put pen to paper. How does it feel to release your thoughts?

 

5. Use Spiritual Tools

- If you have crystals or essential oils, consider using them to support your emotional journey.

- Pull a card from your oracle or tarot deck if you have one; it might just offer the guidance you need.

 

6. Reflect and Release

- Place a supportive crystal under your pillow. Observe any changes in your feelings the next morning.

- Notice: Do you feel lighter? Has your anger dissipated?

 

7. Engage Positively

- Approach interactions with those who trigger you with newfound calmness.

- Reflect: How does it feel to converse without bitterness?

 

8. Commit to Self-Care

- Incorporate these practices into your routine. Consistency is key to maintaining peace and balance.

- Consider: How will these steps enhance your well-being moving forward?
