It is the power of writing things down. The act of writing down clarifies a situation, detaches you from it, reduces its hold over you and often shows you the beginnings of a way out...I have a real love of crossing things out on lists ;o))

I'm constantly doing that. I love making lists. That's why I started a blog. I also keep a personal hand-written diary for my eyes only. I find it really helps to get things off your chest by writing them down. As you say, detaches you from situations that bother you. There are some things you can't always tell other people, so I write them down in my diary. I always feel better afterwards.
I agree 100%, it works a treat, i seem to remember having this discussion with you quite a few years ago. I think we called it a "thought book" back then.
Its certainly worked for me over the last few years since it all went wrong in 2005.
