The Power of Writing It Down: A Simple Habit to Unlock Your Brain and Reimagine Your Life

Since great writing is born from great thinking, it shouldn’t surprise you that good writing always starts with good questions.

The point of this step in the process is to make space in your physical environment, on your calendar, and then just sit and see what the landscape of your interior world looks like.

One of the main reasons people get stuck in their writing is that they forget that writing is inextricably connected to life. In other words, where you feel stuck in your writing, you’re not really stuck in your writing. You’re stuck in your life.

Writing is a beautiful and tender invitation to stay with the story. To reimagine the ending. To play a role in shaping it.

We don’t see the connections that set us free until we take the time to write them down.

Would you rather your influence be wide or deep?
