Writing your way to wellbeing

- Here's a way to boost your mental and physical health without spending a dollar. Dr. James Pennebaker's Writing Protocol. Here's how it works. Set aside 15 minutes once a week for four weeks. Now, during that time, write about the same emotionally challenging event, the same one over and over. Now, it sounds really simple, but over 200 peer-reviewed studies show that this technique significantly improves mental clarity, emotional wellbeing, and even your physical health. The approach taps into the power of expressive writing to help process difficult emotions and create some emotional space. It could be one of the most transformative habits you add to your routine.
