Caring Is Sharing

When it comes to the vital issue of our own mental health we should be putting more effort into talking and less into thinking.

It’s important to expose the thoughts that are happening in the darker recesses of our own minds and hearts to the healing power of communication.

Thinking gives us one perspective. And that’s important because we should make the effort to know what we think and why we think it. But over-thinking has a self-destructive power that can be crippling.

Talking has many benefits but the most significant is that we give voice to that which is happening within and, at the same time, we can hear what it is that we are thinking.

It’s when we hear the inner self in the spoken word that we can make better sense of our emotions and our fears.

The words we speak in our own voice can be at odds with the words we hear in our own heads.

More often than not we know the answers to our own questions but keeping everything inside means we are unable to hear that which we know to be true. And comfort and reassurance can be found in the truth.

Communication with the world that is around us is a vital weapon in the armoury of self care.

The good news is that there are people who will listen. Caring is sharing.
