Lost Among Words: Journaling Uncovers the Beauty of Mundane Life
By Christian Harder

No matter how we manage to do it, I believe that all of us-writer or not-should write something daily, and make it as inventive as possible. This way, we are guaranteed a period in which we can unload the day's heavy thoughts, discover ourselves, and move on, newly self-aware. The journal, for me, provides this opportunity. In any case, we should strive to encounter the world in its most important form-through our own eyes. Read more

Hint: It starts with a "J"

The Depression Cure for Artists
By Adam King

It's no secret that artists and highly creative/talented people appear to be much more susceptible to depression.

What seems to be a secret, though, is the process needed to eliminate these depressive swings without muting their talent and creativity as is the case with most medicines, pills, and other common so-called treatments.

Highly creative people have a tendency towards suffering via the same brain that makes them so amazingly talented. Ironic isn't it, that the same organ that generates talent is also the same one responsible for stifling it.

But it's within this seemingly diabolical brain that I unearthed the most powerful and permanent path to freedom. Read more

This is one of those "I couldn't find it anywhere so I wrote it myself" posts. I have been looking for a good, long list of reasons to journal for a while, and few get past 10. In fact, I think what you are about to read may be the longest "reasons to write a ...  View full post
