Blog Yourself Healthy

I've just been reading a very interesting article on the very excellent Times Website which proves that sitting in front of your computer isn't bad for you after all. According to the Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, blogging is good for you. In fact, it goes as far as to suggest that it could be a realistic replacement for drugs such as Prozac.

I can understand that!

There's something freeing about getting something out in the open. If you keep something inside you, it eats away at you like one of those little baby Aliens inside Sigourney Weaver! If you "put it out there" so to speak, it really takes a weight off your shoulders. I believe that a problem shared is a problem halved. Unless, of course, it's the sort of problem that will leave you as some sort of social pariah, and then it's likely it's better to keep it to yourself. The reduction in social isolation that blogging brings about would not be achieved if you told the world that you have fallen in love with a telephone box!
