Could Blogging Actually Be The Greatest Therapy?

Writing online is an experience which has its pros and cons. The openness of putting yourself out there can bring a lot of uneasiness. Our subconscious then automatically tries to protect us by making us refrain from being in that position.

However, the opportunities it brings clearly outweigh this risk. As a matter of fact, the risk itself is the biggest opportunity for anyone.

Learning to be transparent

Writing online, sharing your own experiences, forces you to push back on that automatic reaction to hide the difficult experiences and thoughts you have.

It forces you to be honest and accept those as part of who you are.

Sharing your thoughts and worries with friends or a psychologist have their own advantages too, but by doing it online, you get to have some sort of “anonymity” which sometimes comes in handy when you share experiences which particularly impacted you.

Of course, by having a blog, you are not entirely anonym, but even the potential backlash will just stay on an internet page. As long as you remember words are only words, nothing bad which could be said by haters can truly hurt you.

Remember and assimilate

Tough experiences are particularly good ones to write about.

As you write about them, it requires you to go back to that difficult time and analyze it from your current perspective. This not only allows you to notice the positive aspects which came out of said experience, but also accept it as a part of your past.

You will notice different parts which you may have not realized back then and become able to understand how you evolved from those.

I have already shared quite a few difficult periods of my life (such as one of my most shameful experiences or a question which is still left unanswered) and remembering those years later, putting those into words, has given me a better understanding of who I am.

Appreciate the small things

As a rather new writer, I clearly don’t have much traction and my readership is still rather small. Of course, like anybody writing online, I wish more people would read my articles.

And still, I have realized this is actually a good thing. By accepting the fact that only a few people will read whatever I write, I get the luxury of learning patience.

When I first started to write, while I tried not to think so, I believe I felt I deserved people reading my articles. After all, my life and thoughts are that boring.

Learning to realize I had that expectation and accepting the fact that I am no better than any other person and don’t deserve my readers has forced me to start seeing the small improvements I have been doing and appreciate those.

The funny thing is that when you stop expecting and start appreciating, what you felt you deserved starts actually happen. I spent 5 months with only about 100–150 views per month and suddenly started being read more, reaching 900 views in the last 30 days. Nothing extraordinary here and, all things considered, not that much of an evolution but appreciating this improvement means all the world to me right now.

Sharing on the internet your worries and thoughts may seem like the toughest thing to do, but in the end, it will allow you to discover and understand yourself more than anything in the world.
