Words flood us: TV, radio, posters, gossip, the constant internal monologue of things we have to do. Writing our thoughts down can help to slow this deluge. It can allow us to listen to what we are actually saying to ourselves, every day. It is the first step to true self-exploration.

I've worked for over 20 years using writing as a way to bring people back in touch with themselves, with what really matters for them. I've developed a series of writing exercises anyone can do, exercises designed to reflect back to you what you have forgotten to look for. These pages will tell you what you need to know about this revolutionary new way of looking into yourself.

What can you gain? You can gain a deeper awareness of your authentic self, perhaps for the first time.

Benefits

Here are just some of the benefits of writing for self-exploration. It can:

• Free up stalled 'talk therapy' and reveal the riches that might otherwise remain trapped in the silence
• Enhance your life
• Clarify your goals
• Aid in making transitions
• Liberate your creativity
• Help you to re-think relationships and see them in a whole new light
• Detect the unconscious messages we routinely send to ourselves, so that we cannot pretend that we didn't ever think that way, that this was an aberration
• Help us choose to change the way we see our lives
• Change the way we relate to ourselves

Try it out for yourself and see some of these benefits immediately. Do the sample exercise.
