Writing is Discovering

Among many things, writing is a way of thinking. Through writing, we discover our thoughts and our ideas. Through writing we can deconstruct and dissolve those same thoughts and ideas. We can gain clarity, focus, and lightness.

These words speak directly to me, because that’s exactly how I perceive and utilise writing. When I feel stuck in a difficult situation, I sit down and write about it. Afterwards, I always end up feeling calmer and lighter. Through writing, the reasons for my difficulties become clear and I can imagine a way forward.

I know writing isn’t everybody’s cup of tea, but give it a try next time you feel stuck or are dealing with other strong emotions.

PS. For the first time in my life I will attend a Writing Class in January and February. Author and friend Isabelle Guisan is organizing this “Atelier Écriture” in my village (amazing, isn’t it?) and I am really looking forward to that creative process - and the challenge of writing in French!
