Writing letters is therapeutic. It is a lifestyle choice. Each day we have the option to choose small actions to inspire a positive mental state. We can consider what brings us joy and what encourages our mental health. I see writing letters as a practice in wellbeing. It is a way to hold yourself accountable to expressing your concerns, hopes, issues, and emotions to another person. It is a place to quiet the mind and to make patience a habit.
This is also a movement back to simplicity. A return to the act of setting time aside to think about how to express yourself in a meaningful way. By writing a letter to me, you can be sure that I will hold space for you, embrace your words, and thoughtfully respond. Beyond the positive impact the process of writing has, you will also receive the delight of going to the mailbox to find a handwritten response written just for you.
