Writing saves my life every day. I lost two brothers to Muscular Dystrophy. I never got over it, but I cope with it because of my writing.

what did you wrote, ??

I have been writing since I was 13. People sometimes judge you while your journal never will. You are free to write whatever you feel and think. A journal is a reliable friend who will never disappoint you.

well said! So happy that your journal has been your best friend since your teenage years. As you say, it's our most reliable, least judgmental friend. :)

Powerful words, "sometimes we forget that we are in charge of our stories we tell about ourselves". Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for listening. I am so glad this resonated with you Marsha.

I have been keeping a journal since i was a child (i am 67) and writing has helped me through many difficult moments throughout my life. Writing is a special gift one can give her/himself.

So true! What a wonderful, life-long practice to look back on 💛

Writing is like an older and younger brother all together telling you what to do and also telling you what you were thinking a long time ago, thanks to writing at 26 i started my path to becoming an artist, and i love to be without internet, but some watching thing like this makes the internet worth it

Writing is therapeutic.

Absolutely!

I do journaling quite often and it always (always!) clears my mind, bring the consciousness back and helps to let go the feeling of being overwhelmed with life as you release the things on the paper, not keeping them inside. Very great speaker this lady is and I enjoyed her background story👍

Yes, we all do that. Just start again. Glad that this talk helped as a gentle reminder. :)

This is my second video about the power of writing. I journal. I have been journaling off and on since I was a teen. But even as I write in my journal. Before the pen hits the page, I’m thinking about the best way to say things. Even if it is only going to be seen by my eyes. Sometimes I do just write. But usually somewhere along the process I am trying to think of the best way to say things.

I am severely mentally ill and through writing I have the power to stop myself from being depressed constantly as I use to b. I write sometimes for days with no sleep. My story has drastically changed over this past 2 yes. I went from the poor me victim mind set to I am a magnificent worrier woman of my life. I still have to take my daily medication to balance the chimacal imbalance but my depressions r not nearly as darkroom as often and I start every morning with a new story that I will strive each day to make come true.

Wow, what a powerful story and message! Thank you for sharing this Sara💛

So powerful and touching, thank you so much Kerstin for sharing your stories. The brilliance I see in you is your capacity of nonstopability to become a heroine rather than a victim of the circumstance. What an inspiration!

Oh thank you so much for your kind feedback, that means a lot! The thing is, we can all become the heroes of our own stories, and writing can show us how.

We can summerize all that to // it's magic .. writing is really magic // people who didn't try it before they might not understand...trust me just go ahead and write even if you don't have anything to write ..just grab your pen and you will find your pen gooooooo ❤❤

Great Ted talk. Writing in a journal daily really helped me when growing up.

So pleased you started to smile again … thank you for telling your story…. thank you for this engaging video, about, and on, starting to write. Much thanks, Steve U.K.

Journal writing helps keep me sane, plus it's fun to be creative sometimes. Writing down a dialogue with one's own ❤️ is a wonderful idea I got from this talk! I'll be sure to have my pink marker to add colour. 😉

I watched this video and it impressed me. Do you think someone with dysgraphia can have a daily journal? I always want to write but I feel it's impossible

Absolutely! A journal should be messy, so just go for it, don't worry about form.

Grief can also be losing yourself and control over your emotions
