The Writing Diet
Experts agree: often we choose to eat not because we are hungry, but because we are bored, sad, frustrated, or happy and in the mood to celebrate with treats. In other words, emotions can drive us to overeat.
But what if instead of turning to food, we could identify those underlying feelings and express them in a healthy, positive way? What if, in doing so, we could also increase our creativity, get in touch with our authentic selves, and discover our true artistic abilities? In The Writing Diet, artist and bestselling creativity mentor Julia Cameron offers tools and practices to enhance our connection to– and expression of– our deepest selves.
