The Healing Power of Writing | Kerstin Pilz | TEDxTownsville

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.

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

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.

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.

[condortraveler]

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

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👍

[PS-yyhw]

I started writing once and then stopped. I will give myself another chance after ur words . Gentle reminder🤗

[Vienlevon]

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!

[minnie]

I saw this live, it really moved me :) thank you so much 🥰

[lisajane]

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

[sarasmile]

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.

[RamonaMcKean]

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. 😉

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.

Writing is very very powerful for releasing and working with our emotions....

[mohammadebadi]

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
