Writing your feelings down can help get negative or sad thoughts out of your mind. This is something that many people are aware of. If you suffer from any mental illness, you know that journaling is an excellent way to help minimise your depression or anxiety and stress. What if I told you that blogging can improve your mental health too? It’s true!
Today I’m going to tell you how blogging can improve your mental health. Whether you’re already a blogger or thinking about starting a blog, I’m confident you’ll be rather impressed with how blogging can encourage positive mental health.
Gives you a Safe Place to Share
Having a safe place to share your thoughts and experiences on such as a blog will help you move forward from a bad spot in life. When you opt to write about your personal experiences, you’ll find that others can relate and in turn, you enjoy having a safe place to write where you can release feelings and not be judged. This is your blog, so remember it’s your safe place. If any negativity comes into your safe space, you can block their IP address or block them from being able to comment on social media posts.
Builds a Community
We all want to feel as if we’re a part of a community. Blogging gives you an outlet to share your experiences, thoughts, and expertise. When you publish and market each blog post, you’ll find that you build a community of like-minded individuals. Your audience will soon become your personal community of people you help to inspire and they help uplift you. This happens to give you a little community of people to engage with whenever you’re in need of some socializing.
Provides a Healthy Creative Outlet
Blogging gives you a way to get your feelings out so that you can calm down. It’s difficult to think clearly when we’re having strong emotions about something. Blogging will help reduce the risk of you lashing out verbally or physically to someone as it’s a healthy creative outlet. If you’re a blogger or thinking about starting a blog then writing is most likely one of your favourite creative outlets to use, so you’ll be able to always have a place to get your feelings and thoughts out in a healthy way.
