Where in my body do I feel...

writing prompts & join us at 11 am (EST) to write on Zoom

Where in my body do I feel stress or tension?

Where in my body do I feel strong and able?

In 2022, when my family and I were faced with a great challenge— Jeff’s recurrence of testicular cancer— writing was a gift. The humble blank page was available each day to dump my worry, fear, anger, and sadness.

What I noticed— writing gave me space to process all my emotions and release them on the page.

I could say what I wanted to say.

I didn’t need to be polite.

I didn’t need to show anyone.

I could let it rip.

Even if I only gave 5-10 minutes to my writing practice, my stress softened. My body felt a bit lighter.

When you find yourself in life’s deepest valleys maybe these prompts can help you process & recognize both the difficulty of your situation and the resilience that resides within you— one word at a time.

Keep moving. Keep writing. God bless,

Julie
