Welcome to Lifebuilder!

It’s estimated that we think at approximately 800 words a minute, while we speak at around 200 words a minute. That’s partly why talking out a problem can be so helpful - by slowing down our thinking, we are able to get more clarity. But we write or type even slower, at less than a hundred words a minute, so writing out our negative thoughts helps us to name them with even more precision. 

Psychologist James Pennebaker found patients significantly reduced their feelings of distress by writing about their most pressing worries for just 15 minutes a day. More than that, their immune system was enhanced and they missed fewer days of work. So next time you feel distressed, clear the chaos – write about it.

Until next week - unleash your potential!
