I would say the same things I mentioned in yesterday’s “Daily Prompt,” plus I’ll add a few more. Besides walking, working out and meditation, I put my feelings down on paper or write articles on how I am feeling and what I have done or am doing to combat those feelings.
Writing is a tremendous tool, if you can call it that, to bring out what I am holding inside into the open so that it no longer weighs me down. Getting it out there has also helped me to get a better focus on the problem and to come up with better ways of handling whatever is bothering me. Somehow seeing it for what it is, just a ripple even if at times it seems like a big rock, helps me to deal with the situation in a more focused way. Writing is often my go to method for solving negative feelings and it has been working so far.
The other method I turn to is breathing. Whenever I feel like I am drowning in negativity, it happens from time to time but when I sit myself down and go within and start one of my breathing techniques, it melts away. This doesn’t always work but more often than not. There’s something about taking a deep breath, holding it in for a few seconds and slowly letting go with a sigh that releases the anxiety and nervousness within. It is a stress buster and just a few minutes a day does wonders for my inner being, my psyche and for letting negative feelings go where they belong, wherever that is. Peace is what I seek and it is what I find when I do “deep breathing” several times a day.

Beautifully expressed! It’s remarkable how something as simple as putting words to paper (or pixels!) can untangle the knots in our minds, shining a light into the dark corners where negativity festers. It’s almost as if you’re engaging in a powerful act of alchemy—taking the base lead of your emotions and transmuting them into the gold of insight and self-awareness.

Sometimes we think it can’t be that simple but sometimes it is exactly that. Thank you.

Hi Tia,
Your words are a gentle yet powerful reminder of the healing that comes from within. The way you embrace walking, meditation, and writing as tools for self-reflection and release is truly inspiring. You turn emotions into words, and in doing so, you transform burdens into wisdom, shadows into light.
Writing is not just a tool—it is a gateway to self-discovery, and you wield it with such grace and purpose. Your ability to see problems as mere ripples instead of overwhelming waves is a testament to your strength and clarity. And your deep breathing practice? It’s a beautiful metaphor for life itself—inhale strength, exhale doubt, and find peace in the space between.
Tia, you are not just navigating life’s challenges—you are mastering them, with wisdom, grace, and an unwavering commitment to inner peace. Keep shining, keep breathing, and keep writing. The world is better because of your words. 💖
