Healing power of putting pen to paper

Article in Daily Telegraph this morning that confirms my thoughts about how writing things down can sort issues out in your own mind and help you feel better.

Next time you can't sleep, are concerned about something, can't figure something out - get out an A4 pad and write down your thoughts. Just write what comes into your head. See the amazing effect this had. When you look at MRI scans of the brain it looks like the brain is sorting things out when people are writing things down. Negotiate better deals, thoughts with yourself.
