It feels good to get something off your chest. There’s an unseen chemical reaction in our brains that releases endorphins and lowers stress when we talk about the things that are bothering us.

Holding things in can damage us in unseen ways as well. Unresolved tension can cause disease, spikes in blood pressure and inflammation. Just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. I don’t see gravity but I know it’s there and it’s working.

In the beginning of time as we know it, God said it “isn’t good for man to be alone.” We are meant to be in community with others. Having some alone time or solitude is healthy. Isolation can be destructive.

Be sure you are spending quality time with your friends. Be a good friend for them, too. Just like you, they need people to talk to, too…
