New Year, New Journal
Five Ways to Jump-Start A Writing Practice in 2023
With Kay Adams, Center for Journal Therapy
January 27, 2023
11 AM PST | 12 PM MST | 1 PM CST | 2 PM EST
Every January writers—and non-writers—create intentions for their writing. And then, as with resolutions of all sorts, life happens, and best plans are set aside.
Kay Adams, founder/director of the Center for Journal Therapy, offers five time-tested tips for starting and keeping a writing practice in the new year. These simple, encouraging strategies will help you put pen to page throughout 2023 – in your journal and, perhaps as carryover, in your memoir!
We’ll talk about—
- The power of writing small
- How to bring fresh vitality and variety to your writing through journal rites and rituals
- Why lowering your standards could be the most elevating action you can take
- Three mindset shifts that bring clarity, confidence and safety to your journal practice
- The one quality that may be the “secret sauce” of the journal – and it’s hiding in plain sight! (You’ve got this!)
An experiential 30-minute journal workshop will allow you to put some of these strategies into immediate practice! Kay has created a new journaling card deck designed to help you write—we’re going to get to see it in action!
