I was having a hard time with my oldest son wanting nothing to do with anything other than video games. He is only 15 years old and I knew that if I didn't do something to encourage him to get out of the house a bit that he would spend all of his time playing those games. For his birthday, I bought him a really nice digital camera. I signed the two of us up for classes to learn how to use DSLR cameras to capture images that were works of art. This blog contains many of the tips that we learned together.
We live in a world where emotional turmoil is unavoidable, but there are ways you can deal with it effectively and be able to get past issues. One effective way is through poetry. Poetry will allow you to access and assess your emotions creatively, while at the same time giving you the intellectual pleasure of indulging in a creative form of art. Using poetry for emotional turmoil relief is easy, accessible, practical, and can be done as many times as you wish. You will find poems effective because you can look for those that have the specific emotions you're experiencing, or you can choose from a wide range of genres and develop your taste.
Here are three benefits of using poetry for emotional turmoil relief.
1. It Acts As A Coping Mechanism During Emotional Turmoil
Poetry will help you to connect with your inner feelings and provide a coping mechanism for you. Poems, especially emotional ones, allow you to see a conflict from outside yourself and that way you can see your inner conflict and relate. As a coping mechanism, it helps you deal with the emotional turmoil while at the same time maintaining your emotional well-being. Listen and read the poems that have the emotions you're going through, reflect on them, and you will be able to cope with that situation that is sparking the same emotions in you.
2. It Helps You See Issues In Proper Perspective
Poems not only trigger positive emotional responses, but they help you put your issues into perspective. The things that may cause emotional turmoil in you may not disappear in a day, but if you build a habit of meditating on poetry, some issues will stop causing too much emotional turmoil. Depending on what you are feeling, you should look for poems that speak of the same situations, or writers that write about real-life experiences poetically. The way a poem is creatively packaged helps the message to penetrate in a way a simple lecture wouldn't have.
3. It Saves On Money And Time
You can listen to poetry on your player as you drive, cook, before sleeping, as you wake up, etc. You can get it for a very low price or even for free, thus saving you money. Using poetry will help you save what you'd have used in seeing a therapist, and it will also save you time.
Consider using poetry to relieve emotional turmoil and see the benefits. It works well when used consistently and over time, and it keeps getting better as your mind learns to respond to it, so you should start as early as now.
