Listen "Can Men Have A Journal?"
Episode Synopsis
According to Ollie Aplin, writing down how you are feeling has enormous benefits for both your mental and physical health, and males especially could benefit from doing so.Men throughout history, from Thomas Jefferson and Winston Churchill through Thomas Jefferson, Ernest Hemingway, and Bruce Lee, have all been documented to have kept diaries. These two guys were polar opposites in almost every way, yet they had a trait in that they both discovered that writing down their thoughts brought them both solace and fortitude.Professor James Pennebaker of the University of Texas, who specializes in social psychology, has devoted a significant amount of time and energy investigating how the act of writing down our emotions may improve the functioning of our immune system.Pennebaker asserts that expressive writing is beneficial to one's physical health and alleviates mental suffering in the book Opening Up by Writing it Down, which he co-authored with Joshua Smyth. He presents evidence from hundreds of research that illustrate the benefits to one's physical health of expressing one's feelings, particularly after experiencing a traumatic event.Pennebaker offers the following explanation: "By writing, you give those nervous feelings some shape and organization." It makes it easier for you to go past them. Pennebaker has also discovered that repressing negative thoughts rather than discussing them can have a detrimental effect on the functioning of the immune system.
