    Podcast Summary

    • Expressing thoughts and emotions through talking or writingPracticing self-expression through talking or writing can help clarify thoughts, gain perspective, and work through emotions effectively.

      Allowing yourself to express your thoughts and emotions through talking to yourself or writing them down can help clear your mind and provide perspective. This practice, as discussed in the podcast episode of "everyday positivity" from the Volley network, is inspired by the character Frankie from Grace and Frankie, who films herself talking to herself when dealing with emotions. Another way to practice this is by talking out loud or journaling. By externalizing our thoughts, we can gain a better understanding of our feelings and work through them more effectively. So, try incorporating this practice into your daily routine, whether it's through talking to yourself, recording yourself, or writing in a journal. Remember, it's okay to acknowledge and work through your thoughts and emotions, and doing so can lead to greater clarity and positivity.
