WRITE FROM YOUR SOUL
Notice. Listen. Respond. Become.
You gave what was inside of you color.
Now give it words.
Write From Your Soul is a self-guided journaling experience designed to help you slow down, notice what's happening within you, listen to the stories and voices that surface, intentionally respond, and practice becoming the person you choose to be.
You don't have to be a writer.
You don't need to have the right answers.
You simply need a little curiosity and a willingness to listen to yourself.
A simple practice you can return to again and again.
NOTICE
What's happening inside me right now?
Learn to pause and notice your emotions, physical sensations, urges and reactions without immediately trying to fix or avoid them.
LISTEN
What am I telling myself—and where did I learn it?
Begin noticing your self-talk, recurring thoughts, old messages, fears and beliefs. Get curious about which voices belong to you and which may have been handed to you by family, relationships, religion, culture, teachers, experiences or your past.
RESPOND
If I have room to choose, how do I want to respond?
Create a little space between what you feel and what you do next. Use writing to explore what you're experiencing, question the stories you're telling yourself, and experiment with responses that feel more intentional.
BECOME
What do I want to carry forward?
Explore what you want to keep, what you may be ready to loosen your grip on, and who you are choosing to become. Then bring that future version of yourself into the choices you make today.
And then begin again.
This isn't about writing beautifully.
This isn't a writing class, and no one is grading your journal.
Your journal can be messy. You can cross things out. You can write three pages or three sentences. You can write "I don't know."
The goal isn't to produce something beautiful.
The goal is to create a private place where you can slow down long enough to hear yourself.
Use Write From Your Soul at your own pace. Move through the four sections in order the first time, and then return to the practices whenever you need them.

From color to words.
Write From Your Soul grew out of the same practice at the heart of Paint From Your Soul: learning to notice what's happening inside of you instead of automatically pushing it away.
If you've completed Paint From Your Soul, this experience gives you another way to continue what you started.
But you do not need to have taken Paint From Your Soul to use Write From Your Soul.
You can begin right here.
A gentle note before you begin.
Write From Your Soul is an educational and personal-reflection experience. It isn't therapy or mental health treatment.
You are always in charge of your experience. You can skip a question, stop writing, take a break, or return another day.
There is no prize for pushing yourself farther than feels useful.
If something brings up more than you want to work through on your own, consider reaching out to a qualified mental health professional or another appropriate source of support.
Your words don't have to be perfect.
They just have to be yours.
Notice.
Listen.
Respond.
Become.
And begin again.
Use your own journal or add a Write From Your Soul Journal separately.
