Freewriting
Freewriting is a release from the prison of rules. It allows the fastest and deepest improvements to a writer's creative process. Freewriting shows writers how to overcome past resistance challenges.

Journaling for Personal Growth
One of the best ways to gain clarity about your life is by journaling your thoughts and feelings. Especially if you're feeling conflicted or confused about certain situations, writing your thoughts out can be incredibly enlightening!
You don't have to be a "writer" to journal effectively. In fact, your writing skills don't have to be good at all. Just the act of putting your thoughts into logical order and translating them to written form can help you to understand what you're feeling, and why.

Writing the Autobiographic Voice
There are various types of voices. Each voice comprises of numerous elements and each as unique as DNA. You can use an encouraging voice to build your creative self. Or a judgmental voice to assess an issue. Or, use a voice of history, like Alex Haley, to speak to future generations, or Martin Luther King's, "I have a dream" speech. Voices in writing come from your feelings at the time recorded. Voice expresses your message and in turn determines your audience, even if the audience is only you.

Journaling In The Now
Generally, people either live in the past or in the future the majority of their day. This leaves the opportunity of being in the present moment fleeting. It is only in our present moment where we can experience blissfulness, happiness, confidence, and being our authentic selves.

Don't Let the Boogeyman Steal Your Dreams
The closer we come to reaching our dreams, the more our monstrous emotions and mind-talk flash their urgent warnings, "Stop! Don't go any further. You can't pull it off. You're not good enough. You're gonna screw up. Or get hurt. Or die!" When you buy into these threats, you can feel confused. Numb. Scattered. Unfocused.

Connecting the Past and the Present
Healing Abandonment and Abuse
Many people I work with in therapy or in my writing-as-healing classes discover stories that surprise them -- stories about the mistakes they felt their parents made, power imbalances in the family, or stories about physical or sexual abuse. The darker stories are often a surprise: when writers sat down to write, those issues were not directly on their minds, but deep, revealing stories erupted from the pen. Though they were unexpected, for some they were a relief.

Angel to Angel
Years ago, my minister spoke to us about how you could solicit the help of your guardian angels to help with conflict resolution. She told us stories about how she and others had successfully asked their guardian angels to speak to the enemy's guardian angel.
The idea being that when you find yourself in an argumentative situation with someone, that you could request that your guardian angel talk angel to angel with their guardian angel about finding a win-win situation. She gave us examples of times when after asking for the angels to help mediate the problem, that the other party suddenly softened and the solutions began to easily show themselves.

Learn from Life
Here is a practice that I have found helpful. You will most likely want to read through all of the instructions at least once before actually doing this practice. Sit comfortably with a notebook or journal by your side. Breathe deeply at least five or six times, inhaling and exhaling through your nose. Take a moment and think of a time when you seemed to have learned something that is detrimental to your overall well being.

Letter Writing Journaling
When you read a letter from someone, we are immediately transferred into their world, experience, and physical reality. You can capture the same feeling by writing letters to yourself or about other people in your journal. Letter writing is the easiest form to use in journaling. On occasion, you might have already dabbled in writing letters in your journal.
