In his book, If Only, Dr. Neal Roese says, "Blogging may be good for your health." He cites two primary health benefits to blogging. First of all, it is a form of "processing emotions." There is an old aphorism: confession is good for the soul. The process of verbalizing or writing helps us untangle our thoughts and emotions. The second benefit is more psychological. Social psychologist Laura King says that writing "may serve to integrate life experiences into a larger, more sensible framework. In other words, blogging helps us make sense of our lives. Dr. Roese says, "It is merely the act of looking back in detail--reviewing and integrating--that is the most basic ingredient underlying the value of blogging."
