Writing Is Healing: Write Your Story
Writing has changed my life, over and over again.
From sorting out my feelings in "dear diary" style countless nights over my life, to writing through the pain of losing my mother, to exploring what my cravings were telling me near the end of my vegan life, writing is one powerful way to sort through the mess.
Writing gets the thoughts out of your head, and onto the paper.
Writing takes the stress out of your body.
Writing can help you feel grateful and calm.
And clarity. Woah, can writing help shine a spotlight on your truth.
So for today's #20til40 give away, I'm sharing one of my favorite writing tools - a lovely deck of cards created by my friend Cynthia Morris, writer, coach, and creative artist. Cynthia recently appeared on my Crave Cast where we talked about creativity and healing. Listen here: http://bit.ly/cravecynthia
