“To be able to verbalize something, to be able to articulate it, one needs the left hemisphere of the brain, the place where one finds the centres of language. Moreover, this is also the channel of positive emotions. In other words, filtering an emotional experience and describing it through the means of language eliminates much of the negativity that this could contain. Therefore, people that express their emotions in a personal journal usually manage much better their emotional balance, increase their longevity, and reduce their probabilities of suffering diseases.”
