@chbartist, great thoughts however I find them very general and narrowly expressed. I Strongly believe there is a lot more about the negative thoughts and Your emotional health.
I have found 3 key ideas in the article You were trying to point out:
- The influence of bad thoughts
- The benefits meditation could bring us
- A technique of letting go Your negative emotions by writing them down
IMHO the main problem is that these techniques and knowledge works only if You have a proper mindset for it.
Probably, we were all trying to meditate but how much people have continued to do that?
The problem is that people want very fast results putting very little effort and they do not understand that this is a practice which requires training and a mindset that is not build in one day. Many people fail to practice it because they do not receive fast result, nor they lives suddenly becomes vivid and colorful. I believe the same ideas applies to writing down Your emotions.
I think Your ideas are great, but IMHO they should be explained more broadly.
Hope You will not find my comment as a criticism.
I strongly believe that You do understand these things, but my advice would be to get into more details especially if You are targeting the general public.
