Creative writing and Journalling are both powerful tools for personal growth and deeper understanding. They are a pathway to self-discovery, healing and transformation by exploring thoughts and emotions, through the enchanting world of words.
​
Creative writing and Journalling are journeys that can lead to profound revelations and awakenings. They offer an avenue for individuals to delve into their innermost thoughts and feelings, allowing for a deeper connection with oneself and a better understanding of one's own experiences. Through the act of putting pen to paper, one can unravel complexities, untangle emotions, and unleash creativity.
​
Journaling can assist in managing symptoms and boosting mood by:
-
Prioritising problems, fears, and concerns;
-
Tracking daily symptoms to pinpoint triggers and devise effective coping strategies;
-
recognising negative thoughts, erroneous beliefs, and behaviours; and
-
Providing a space for positive self-affirmation(s).
Scientific Research and studies strongly suggest journalling has links to improved happiness, sleep, memory function, and personal performance. Many of these benefits are related to your mental health. Keeping a diary has a big impact on your overall happiness as well as supporting conditions like depression and anxiety.

There are links also to cancer patients who have applied consistent journalling during their recovery period were able to cope better than others who did not journal.

**Expressing creativity through artistic endeavours can hold significant value for individuals with conditions such as Down Syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, PTSD for example, in both children and adults. Primarily, many face challenges when expressing themselves verbally or in writing. While there are exceptions, such as those who excel in poetry writing or public speaking, a large number struggle to convey their emotions using words but find their voice through dance, movement, or painting. The creative arts serve as a powerful means of communication for many individuals living with these conditions.**
