Endless worrying can be emotionally and mentally draining. Recent research finds that quickly jotting down anxious thoughts can free up brain space and help you calm down. Do you agree?
I do not know if I should generalize... Hence, for me, any type of writing helps me personally and professionally.
Speaking to people you trust (ventilating) is also helpful.
Both activities make you reframe, reevaluate and assign priorities to facts.
A well-maintained plane, which is fully operational and with plenty of fuel, fly smoothly!
Serenity, peace and realistic expectations help too.
Expressive writing is an effective and helpful self and emotional relief tool.
Impressive writing indeed. How impressive is it or sure are you? There are a number of formats, rules of writing or instructions of journal and without forgetting bias from you academic dons.

Expressive writing starts with the tuning of the mind & heart & the flow of the language touches the reader mind & why reading he starts with the thinking phase of his mind offering him food for thought .
This is my personal opinion
Expressive writing some time may aggravate chronic worries. because these we need to be careful about what to write and say.
Do you mean - keeping a diary, or writing short literary works?
One is good for memory, but very private (not necessarily positive if someone else reads it, without express permission). Freestyle. No extensive vocabulary required. After one's passing, it can serve the future generations to get to know their predecessor.
Does it alleviate anxiety though? I do not know. I doubt it. But, then again, it does depend on the person and his/her personality (introvert, extrovert) or interests.
The other option would depend on one's inner world, mental attitude, writing skills, and exposure to interesting experiences (not necessarily negative) outside the ordinary. I should imagine that it would provide for a temporary distraction away from daily worries. :)

All expressive activities such as writing and speaking really help! Thank you Vania Vieira Estrela
Expressive writing is one example of verbal expressive activities that helps express emotions and relieves tension. Other examples of verbal expressive activities are speaking, reading, and infographics (combination of pictures and words).
Non verbal expressive activities are also useful and complement verbal expressive ones. Examples of non-verbal expressive activities are drawing, painting, body language, and even your tone of voice. These help express emotions and may relieve stress and worries.

depends on the psychology of the person along with other variables like the surrounding atmosphere and other factors.
I think back to the bobo doll experiments, in which we learned aggressive release promotes more agitation. Are there ways to express that support an empty slate experience in order to move forward constructively, without a similar experience of mental/emotional experiences collecting again to require "dumping."
Dear Prof. Hassan Izzeddin Sarsak

Good contribution.

I agree with the author completely. As our mind gets deviate from another worries and tension, while writing we focus on only one part.
I think so, writing is a kind of emotional catharsis.
The notion that worrying by itself is a negative expression should be considered before any attempt to alleviate it. We need to consider why people worry, why it is deemed negative, and is it a modern development? If the latter, then it may express aspects of modern life.
In the past monks of all flavours spent years in contemplation. Is this related in some way to the energy expended in worry? I suggest it is related to creativity and that creative production will immediately lower its general intensity. Once this energy is used to draw, write, compose all will be put into perspective.
Yh it works because writing assist in transferring storage of some memories from the brain to another platform thereby freeing up spaces and gave a feeling of one thought been expressed
