Download or read book Writing to Awaken written by Mark Matousek and published by New Harbinger Publications. This book was released on 2017-07-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing to Awaken is an inspirational investigation of the self through expressive writing, guiding you along the path of awakening through radical truth-telling and self-inquiry. With targeted and revelatory questions, you’ll be prompted to explore your own personal narrative—to write honestly about your deepest wounds, greatest challenges, hidden gifts, yearnings, and opportunities for growth—in order to discover a deeply authentic understanding of yourself and move toward a more liberated, truthful life. We each have our own story, a personal myth constructed from the content life presents us: we connect dots to shape the narrative, devise plotlines from circumstance, change characters, fashion conflicts, and adjust structure, settings, and themes as our lives unfold. But so often, over time, we come to believe that we are our story, identifying so strongly with the tales we’ve told ourselves and others that we cling to them for our very existence—even when they don’t quite fit. The realization that there’s a discrepancy between the narrative you’ve crafted and your authentic self can be disconcerting at first, but the exploration of that gap is a doorway to personal freedom, and this book will lead you through it. The writing exercises in this guide, one for nearly every week of the year, ask you to tell the whole truth about your experience. In doing so, you’ll come to realize that once you engage in this radical truth-telling, expressing yourself with complete honesty, your story changes; and when your story changes, your life is transformed. Rather than sticking with your illusive and tricky “Story of Me,” you’ll be prompted to go even deeper, piercing your personal myth and illuminating aspects of psyche and spirit that give way to profound moments of understanding and personal healing. This is not a how-to book for writers; it’s an invitation on a journey of self-discovery—a guide to facing yourself without flinching, accepting yourself as you are, surrendering to what is, and daring to question and transform what isn’t true. With Writing to Awaken, you’ll learn how to break free from the trance of mistaken identity and discover your essential, authentic self.

Download or read book 21 Day Journal written by Ilchi Lee and published by Best Life Media. This book was released on 2016-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many Asian traditions, 21 days is considered a spiritually significant time period. Ancient sacred texts often describe the transformation of spiritual figures through 21 days of ascetic discipline. Some experts tell us that it takes at least 21 days to create a new habit because of the time required for new neural connections to form in the brain. This inherent brain plasticity is the key to our ability to change ourselves and our lives. Is there something about yourself that you feel less than satisfied with? This journal will help you go through your own transformation, one day at a time. Journaling helps you clarify your thoughts and feelings, and formulate a new understanding of yourself. The 21-Day Journal guides you in this self-development process, helping you set a goal and a course of action. It gives you the space to record not only your thoughts and emotions, but your plans and evaluations of your progress. Learn how to closely watch yourself and learn from your own experience through the lens this journal provides. Beautifully designed with uplifting photographs from nature, the 21-Day Journal includes an introduction and a foundation for beginning your journey from New York Times bestselling author and self-development mentor Ilchi Lee. His encouraging quotes are scattered throughout, and there are extra blank pages in the back to provide plenty of space for recording your own inspiration.

Download or read book Writing Without Hurry written by Kenneth Pryor and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-05-14 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A book about journaling mindfully and meditatively... Writing without Hurry is a how-to, self-help book for the serious journaler and anyone interested in growth and personal transformation. Effective journal writing is a meditation and a way to understand your own psychology. It is learning to reflect on your own situation and to make sense of the things that trouble you, and it is a way to find solutions for the serious problems you face. Journaling is one of the best tools for change, but those results only come when you write seriously and with a structured method. That is what I teach in Writing without Hurry. Most books on journal writing or keeping a personal diary encourage you to express your thoughts and emotions in a free form, no-holds-barred style, which is great for emotional expression, but not so good for solving problems in your life. This book is different. Its focus is on writing for psychological and emotional change, and it builds on psychological research about the ways the journaling experience can be used for self-understanding, internal transformation and building a concrete plan for your life. Through a series of guided exercises, you will learn to write thoughtfully and use your journal for serious introspection, for understanding complex subjects and for understanding the important questions in your life. A step-by-step method of inquiry is presented which leads you to important insights and practical ideas for improving the quality of your life. You will learn the specific style of writing and recommended format for journal entries guaranteed to lead to growth and personal change, and you will learn ways to slow down your writing so that you learn to write thoughtfully and mindfully. Writing mindfully is important because you want to bring your full attention to what you are doing every time you sit down to write. You want your journal to help you, and writing thoughtfully is how you make sure it does. Bringing mindfulness to personal writing is the reason I wrote this book.
