Journal Writing Heals Wounds Faster
BBC Online report on a recent study at King’s College in London which found writing in your journal can also aid in healing physical wounds faster.
Half the group in the study wrote on specific emotional issues in their lives, while the other half wrote about unimportant, everyday concerns. Researchers made small punctures in the study participant’s upper arms once they had completed the simple writing exercises, which lasted only twenty minutes each session over three days.
Those who wrote on the more personal and/or upsetting moments showed evidence of faster healing after two weeks compared to the other group. Yet another reason to have a good journal writing session as often as you can manage.
