Be Happy, Keep a Diary

We’ve all felt the calming effects of “just getting it out” on paper, I know a co-worker of mine uses a diary on the train commute to and from work to leave her stress behind (rather than bring home stress to work, and visa versa). This “Bridget Jones” effect (as the psychologists in the article have coined it) works whether you elaborate on your feelings, or just jot down some silly poetry or even song lyrics expressing your emotions. Heavens know there’s a lot of stress floating around out there right now, so keep happy and healthy- keep a diary!
