How to Write Yourself Well

Writing as a self-care and healing practice

Q:What can you do with the pain stored in your body? A: Leave it on a page.

When I feel bottled up, I walk, write, or both. It doesn’t matter the order. This is a part of me that has been pretty consistent. Despite the reason or cause of the emotional stress, the page was a safe place to land but also a place where I could track my growth and healing.
