Putting your feelings into words could help your brain... 6/21/2007
Putting your feelings into words could help your brain... 6/21/2007:
A new study from UCLA gives insight into how cultivating an attitude of gratitude works on the brain.
"Why does putting our feelings into words — talking with a therapist or friend, writing in a journal — help us to feel better? A new brain imaging study by UCLA psychologists reveals why verbalizing our feelings makes our sadness, anger and pain less intense.
Another study, with the same participants and three of the same members of the research team, combines modern neuroscience with ancient Buddhist teachings to provide the first neural evidence for why 'mindfulness' — the ability to live in the present moment, without distraction — seems to produce a variety of health benefits."
