#Letsfeelgood: Narration as a Tool for Wellbeing, from Emotional Diaries to Shared Stories
In an article featured on Artspecialday under the hashtag #Letsfeelgood, MIfacciodiCultura emphasizes that achieving wellbeing is possible through intentional self-reflection and open communication with close companions. The reluctance to express emotions often arises from the fear of being judged or misunderstood. Citing Henri Bergson, the piece highlights that discussing one's inner experiences may not aim for feedback but rather acts as a form of emotional release. Narratives can be either structured or chaotic, both appreciated for fostering a sense of belonging. Conversations can either align with the speaker's issues or focus on the speaker’s own thoughts. Written expressions, such as emotional journals, connect mental and physical aspects, while shared narratives through books or films encourage attention to internal mental dialogues.
