A Tool for the Recovery Toolbox

At New Life Stories find out about how writing can be a tool for healing. On the Writing and Healing page check out the list of how you can create "new life stories to help yourself see possibilities where there seem to be none."

If Journaling is a totally new concept to you, Ways to Begin a Journal Writing Practice is a good place to start. Here you can get step by step directions on How to Write in a Journal.

Spiritual oriented journaling (among other things) is explored at Writing The Journey. Find out more about Journal writing and a Spiritual Path. You will find a multitude of Journal Writing Exercises to get you started and keep you going. There are pages about special journals too, such as a Dream or Project Journal.

How To Develop a Spiritual Journal written by Dan Phillips, has a Christian focus. Don't let that deter you from reading his detailed ideas about keeping a journal. His Process of Spiritual Growth page could be helpful for those of you new to the process of prayer and meditation. (Where there are references to the Bible, insert your own spiritual literature.)

A fun site to explore, Soulful Living, has several articles on how "creative self-expression allows us to connect with the wisdom and desires of our souls for better self-understanding and healing." I got a lot out of Expressive Therapies: A Journey to the Center of Your Soul by LuAnn Pierce.

While this piece is short on words, it is long on content. For any of you that are interested in writing as a tool of recovery, these links should keep you pretty busy.
