You have an important test tomorrow. You study very hard. You understand the information. You're doing well in the class. But you're still worried. You need to relax. What can help? Maybe a quiet walk? A cup of tea? A little yoga? Psychologists have another idea. Sit down and write. Write about your stress. Why does writing help? There are two reasons. First, stress takes up room in the brain. As a result, there is less room for memory. Writing moves the stress out of the brain. It puts it on paper. Then there is more room for memory. Your memory works like the memory in a computer. You need to delete some files to make room for other files. Students need to remember a lot of information. So they need a lot of room in their brains for memory. They need to delete their files of stress.
The second reason is writing helps you to focus. Sometimes people can think only about their stress. Writing can help them. How? People write about their stress. As a result, they feel less worried. Then they can focus better on other things. Psychologists are studying the connection between stress and writing. They do experiments with students. They put students into two groups. One group of students writes about their stress for 10 minutes. The other group sits quietly. Then all the students take a test. What are the results? The students in the writing group do better than the other group of students. In fact, their scores are one grade higher. Writing can help other people too. Some people don't sleep well. Writing at night will help them sleep better. Some athletes get stressed about winning or losing. They can't focus on playing well. Writing before a game can help them play better. People in job interviews get stressed too. Writing before an interview can help them relax. Do you get stressed about tests? Try this experiment. Go to class 10 minutes early and write about your stress. You can write in English or your own language. Then take the test. Maybe the psychologists are right. Maybe writing will help you too.
