I've just finished a Master's dissertation deep dive into the power of expressive writing for mental and physical health. Science proves expressive writing is a powerful tool in our health and wellbeing toolkit – and it is so underused!

Take writing seriously, even if what you are writing is anything but 'serious'. Writing has the power to transform so much. I'll be examining this more in future posts. For now, just remember that...

Regularly: stop; take a deep breathe (or three); allow yourself to expand mind, body, spirit; clear the palette if you like; then reflect. Attention to detail = important in writing; lifting our eyes to look towards the horizon = important also :-)

Two young Cornish writers I worked with recently wanted to change their original idea during the day's workshop. 'Was that ok?' they asked. 'More than ok.' And I added a reminder that what they'd written before had led them here. 'It's not wasted.'

Curiosity is an overlooked part of the Writer’s toolkit – it boosts creativity, improves mental wellbeing, helps us adapt to change. See your writing in this light, and you will work from a place of excitement and interest – that will transmit to readers.

In reality, there is no inside or outside, only reflection, but I wondered what would happen if I consciously adopted this other writer’s approach. Where does your writing sit on this continuum? What might happen if you changed that in some way?

When I was a child, I had a favourite poster – sitting on top of Snoopy’s house, Woodstock was writing at a typewriter. Snoopy was sitting behind smiling, patting Woodstock on the head. The poster read: A bit of encouragement never did anyone any harm. :-)

Do lies and truth matter to you in your writing? Does truth need to be external (verifiable) or internal (does your writing merely have to ‘feel’ true to your reader)? In which case is this just a question of internal coherence, or is it something deeper?

A good orator, Aristotle said in his Rhetoric, manipulates the emotions of their audience (pathos), and builds credibility (ethos) and internal logic (logos). Is this view helpful? And if your intended audience is you, is it still relevant?

Our brains are very much more plastic (in the sense of not being fixed) than we ever used to understand. Even into adulthood, new neurons are created in the hippocampus, and new connections made throughout the brain. So, what are you waiting for?

I think courage might matter more than we give it credit for. I think we can use the energy of courage to go deeper into our writing practice, and our writing, to push the boundaries, to expand our horizons, whatever we are writing. What do you think?

In today’s exercise we bring awareness to where you ‘are’ when you write. If the awareness brings something new to you, ask yourself: Does it support my writing? Does it hold me back? What does it feel like? Depending on the answer experiment with change.
