Writing your way to Health and Fitness

Several years ago, the American Medical Association published a study that confirmed a connection between the healing of certain common illnesses and the written word. When patients wrote about painful life stories, it opened their hearts to replace that inner pain with peace.

This caused illnesses like asthma and arthritis to heal, measurably, often within two weeks. How can this affect you and your writing?

A healthy body replaces unhealthy cells with healthy cells, on a regular basis. A healthy mind replaces unhealthy thoughts with healthy thoughts, on a regular basis.

The more often we write about what matters to us, without reference to the opinions of others or the judgment of the world, the more clearly we feel our core values, and this is very healing.

Take a moment, today, and write about something that caused you discomfort, not to relive it, but to understand it. This kind of charitable clarity not only defines your boundaries but strengthens your self-knowledge.

You have so much to share. Start by sharing your writing with yourself, and an awesome wholeness may follow!
